Volatility from the AI rally has pushed investors toward US Treasuries, the dollar, the Swiss franc and the yen, but gold has not attracted inflows. Gold fell below 4,000 USD/ounce, its lowest level in a year, while central bank gold purchases rose 42% in the third quarter to 321 tonnes. Since the US and Israel first attacked Iran, gold has lost about a quarter of its value and is down 9% year to date in USD terms, the weakest of 14 major asset classes in Bank of America's ranking. Standard Chartered finds the correlation between gold and the S&P 500 has risen to 0.48 on a three-month rolling basis and 0.69 over one month. The bank's analysts say that in the short term, the need to raise cash could lead investors to sell gold rather than buy more.

- If gold breaks lower, investors may look at these safe haven currencies: analyst
Standard Chartered told clients that the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen could be the most attractive safe havens if gold extends its decline, with gold well below $4,000 an ounce and next support levels at $3,800 and $3,500. Analyst Steve Englander said tech jitters, the equity sell-off and liquidity needs are driving sales of liquid assets such as gold and silver, and that gold's role as a liquidity provider may overshadow its safe-haven role in the short term. Gold's correlation with the dollar has been strongly negative over the past year, suggesting that these flows could reverse. The euro is hurt by political and fiscal uncertainty, the Swiss franc has the lowest yield in the G10, sterling faces political questions, and the Australian dollar is much more volatile. The yen is seen as attractive due to the recent yield pickup in Japanese government bonds and its relatively low valuation.
- Hot Inflation Hits Gold, but Safe-Haven Buyers Fight Back
Gold recovered to around $4,175 an ounce by Friday morning after touching a weekly low near $4,080, finishing the week slightly below its opening levels. Hotter-than-expected September CPI and PPI data initially pressured the metal, with both core and headline CPI coming in 0.1 percentage point above forecasts, the latter driven by a 9.1% jump in gasoline prices. Gold then rallied as inflation worries weighed on stocks and the US Dollar Index softened, suggesting investors looked beyond rate-hike expectations. Next week's lighter economic calendar will test whether this risk-off mood lasts ahead of the following week's FOMC decision.
- Global Market : Japanese government bond yields fall as safe - haven demand returns
- US Treasuries slide as global stocks recovery clips haven rally
Long-dated US Treasuries fell as a rebound in global stocks reduced demand for haven assets, while Fed Chair Kevin Warsh gave no new remarks on monetary policy in Bangkok. The 10-year yield rose 4 basis points to 5.10% and the 30-year to 5.44%, underperforming European bonds. Swaps fully price three more quarter-point hikes over the next 12 months, and the chance of a hike fell from 30% to 20%. Strategists said elevated energy costs and the prospect of more Fed tightening could keep yields under pressure, and that the safe-haven status of US bonds is waning.

The Federal Reserve's Fed Notes article examines the safe-haven role of government bonds and inflationary pressures. It opens by noting that the escalation of the Middle East conflict earlier this year sent major stock indexes sharply lower as energy prices rose and the global economic outlook worsened; the excerpt cuts off while discussing long-term bond prices.
- Gold bar prices reverse to VND 140 million per tael
On the morning of November 2, SJC and several major brands listed gold bars at VND 137–140 million per tael, up VND 1 million after a sharp drop at the end of last week, though still about VND 17.5 million above the world price. International precious metals rose US$35 to US$3,910 an ounce after falling as much as US$200 the previous week. Commerzbank analysts said the late-week sell-off came as traders sold safe-haven assets to meet margin calls when tech shares slumped, and they expect precious metals to recover. A Reuters poll of 30 analysts and traders cut the median gold forecast for this year to US$4,495 an ounce from US$4,509 three months earlier, the second straight quarter of downgrades. Domestic silver prices fell further, with Phú Quý listing silver at VND 1.59–1.64 million, about VND 42–44 million per kg, down 10% over the past week.

- New front leaves 32 countries at a disadvantage against Russia: Moscow 'builds a fortress' in the world's most dangerous region
Writing in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), journalist Julian Staib argues the Arctic is becoming a key arena of strategic competition, especially between NATO and Russia. Climate change is warming the region about 4 times faster than the global average, and melting ice could shorten the Rotterdam to Shanghai shipping route by about 15 days while opening access to resources. Russia treats the Arctic as a core security zone, with a nuclear submarine fleet on the Kola Peninsula and a multilayered 'fortress defense' system built up since 2015. According to the article, Russia's navy, air force and army within the Arctic Circle are larger by about 1/3 than NATO's forces in the same area. China, the US under President Donald Trump and the EU are also expanding their roles, while Finland and Sweden joining NATO has significantly shifted the strategic balance.
- Alphabet's Free Cash Flow Is Declining Faster Than Analysts Expected. Is This AI Stock Still a Buy?
Alphabet's stock fell sharply after its third-quarter results, as search revenue of $63.4 billion came in below analysts' consensus estimate of $64.5 billion. Free cash flow was negative at $9.1 billion, of which $5.2 billion stemmed from a one-time cash payment for a European Commission fine. Google Cloud revenue rose 103% to $30.7 billion and the company reported a $561 billion backlog, while Alphabet plans capex of up to $205 billion this year, mostly for AI. The author argues the cash flow decline reflects surging AI spending rather than long-term profitability, and that investors should keep watching both spending and Google Cloud sales. With a trailing P/E of 14.7 versus a tech sector average of about 24, the author notes the stock's valuation is well below the sector average.
- Apple AI tools come to China after two-year delay
Apple began a trial rollout of its Apple Intelligence tools for Chinese users on Wednesday, initially limited to developers, with public access due in December. The features launched in the United States and other countries in autumn 2024, but their Chinese launch was held back by strict regulation and the lack of access to models from Google and OpenAI. After securing regulatory approval in July, Apple will work with Alibaba's Qwen to add more powerful AI features; the initial release includes 18 AI features but not the latest Siri upgrade. Counterpoint Research analyst Ivan Lam said the launch fills a long-standing gap but may not give Apple a significant advantage in a crowded market. Greater China revenue rose 21% in the past quarter, but new CEO John Ternus still faces significant challenges in an evolving market.
- Apple Says It Will Keep Paying More for Memory Chips After December. That's Good News for Micron Stock.
Micron shares fell about 6% on the same day Kioxia sank about 16% in Tokyo, after Kioxia guided for only about 1% sequential revenue growth in the December quarter. After its earnings call, Apple said it expects memory prices to keep rising beyond the December quarter, calling current pricing "unprecedented." Most of Micron's sales are DRAM, which hit a record $39.8 billion in its fiscal fourth quarter, up 343% year over year, though its price increases are slowing. The stock trades near $860, over 30% below its 52-week high of $1,255, and the author argues Apple's warning is good news for Micron, whose valuation may already assume memory profits fall sharply.
- [UPDATE] CNN projects Democrats will take the House from Republicans, President Trump denies responsibility
Democrat Chris Pappas won the New Hampshire Senate seat, defeating Republican John Sununu. AP projects Democrat Mark Warner will win re-election in Virginia over Bert Mizusawa, while Debbie Wasserman Schultz won the Florida 20th district House seat. CNN and AP project Jon Ossoff will be re-elected in Georgia over Mike Collins, but a runoff on December 1 would follow if no candidate wins a majority. Democrats also won Senate races in New Jersey, Illinois, Delaware, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Early projections are not final results, and some close races may take hours or even days to decide.
- Democrats claim control of the US Senate
According to the AP, Democrats have won control of the Senate after Josh Turek won the Iowa race, bringing their total, including independents who caucus with them, to 51 seats. The shift could change the path of the stalled CLARITY Act, reshape committee leadership and bring closer scrutiny of Trump-linked crypto businesses and regulators' decisions. The CLARITY Act failed a Senate procedural vote 49 to 50 in September, and if it is not passed by January, the next Congress starts from scratch. Jerome de Tychey, president of Ethereum France, said nothing will pass without cross-partisan support and warned that the biggest risk for US crypto is becoming a partisan issue.
