- Gold extends rally above $4,100 as dollar, Treasury yields fall after U.S. vote
Gold held above $4,100 an ounce on Thursday after a Democratic sweep of the U.S. midterm elections pushed the dollar and Treasury yields lower, while Trump downplayed the prospect of renewed strikes on Iran. Spot gold rose 1.8% to $4,132.36 an ounce, silver gained 2.1% to $53.3400, and the U.S. Dollar Index fell 0.3% to 101.31. ANZ analysts said U.S. bonds benefited from expectations that the new political balance would constrain Trump's proposed tax cuts and spending plans, but warned that weaker government borrowing could erode a key support for gold. Oil stayed sharply lower after Brent fell below $100 a barrel on Wednesday. Gold is still more than 20% below its levels before the U.S.-Iran war broke out in late February, and investors are now watching Friday's U.S. nonfarm payrolls report.

- Meta President on Data Center Politics
In an interview with WSJ editor-in-chief Emma Tucker, Dina Powell McCormick of Meta said the industry has not done enough to explain the benefits of data center investments, and that Meta is going well beyond its original commitments. Meta has been building data centers for 20 years and operates in 23 states, with five of them hosting gigawatt-scale projects, including Texas. She said a newly elected governor who campaigned on data centers had asked to meet after the inauguration because the state did not want to lose the investment or the jobs. She added that the work has been hard, that models that work are becoming clear, and that states want those models, but local support is necessary.
- Has Alphabet (GOOGL) Fallen Far Enough To Back Its Cash Flow Value?
Alphabet's share price has fallen after a difficult stretch marked by heavy AI spending, negative free cash flow and concern over AI capital expenditure following its Q3 2026 update, which wiped nearly $500b off market value in one day. The article uses a discounted cash flow (DCF) model based on about $66.6b of free cash flow over the last twelve months; the model projects negative free cash flow in 2027 before a recovery later in the decade as AI infrastructure spending settles into a more cash-generative phase. On that basis, the DCF puts intrinsic value substantially above the current share price of $288.93. The stock trades at a 15.1x P/E and has returned 121.2% over the past 3 years. The piece asks whether the recent decline has fully reset expectations for Alphabet's cash generation.
- China's gold demand shifts from jewelry to investment gold
According to the China Gold Association, jewelry gold consumption fell 33.86% to 178.612 tonnes in the first nine months of 2026, while bar and coin demand rose 26.26% to 444.576 tonnes. Total gold consumption for the period reached 684.623 tonnes, up 0.28% year on year, reflecting a shift in Chinese consumers' view of gold as an investment and store of value. Domestic gold output fell 18.71% to 220.935 tonnes, partly due to maintenance pauses at some key projects, while overseas mining by major gold groups rose 15.77% to 71.126 tonnes. Gold held by China's gold ETFs increased by 56.114 tonnes over the nine months, down 28.98% from a year earlier, bringing total holdings to 303.965 tonnes at the end of September 2026.
- Quốc Cường Gia Lai to pay 2021 dividend in shares at 10% ratio
Quốc Cường Gia Lai plans to issue more than 27.5 million shares to pay its 2021 dividend at a 10:1 rights ratio, with total par value of over 275 billion VND, funded from undistributed after-tax profits accumulated to December 31, 2025. If completed, charter capital would rise from over 2,751 billion VND to over 3,026 billion VND. In Q3 2026, net revenue fell 75.9% to nearly 26.8 billion VND and the company posted a net loss of nearly 7 billion VND, versus a profit of nearly 24.1 billion VND a year earlier, which it attributed to fewer apartment handovers and the transfer of hydropower plants. For the first nine months, after-tax profit reached over 174.7 billion VND, 5.1 times the prior-year level, even as net revenue dropped 69.6%. The company must repay 2,882.8 billion VND received under the Bac Phuoc Kien project contract under an appellate ruling; as of September 30, 2026, it had repaid 1,411.4 billion VND cumulatively, leaving 1,471.4 billion VND owed to Sunny Island Investment JSC.
