After October's worst performance for gold and silver since 2008, Jen Bawden, founder of Bawden Capital, argues the sell-off could present a rare opportunity for long-term investors. She notes silver is down about 60% from its record high of 121.64 USD/ounce, while gold at one point hit its lowest level in a year. Pressures include expectations the Fed could raise rates again in December, oil above 100 USD per barrel amid Strait of Hormuz disruptions boosting demand for the dollar, and stock losses forcing funds to sell liquid assets. She points to 2008 and 2020, when gold and silver fell alongside equities before rebounding strongly; gold rose about 170% to August 2011 after the 2008 crisis.

- Gold Falls Nearly 4%, Silver Loses 6% as Big Players Buy the Dip
Spot gold dipped to 3,870 USD/ounce before trading near 3,874 USD/ounce, down more than 146 USD (about 3.6%) in one session and at its lowest level in over a year. Silver fell more than 3 USD (nearly 6%) to around 49 USD/ounce, touching 48.7 USD intraday. Even as prices fell, SPDR Gold Trust bought 0.57 tonnes of gold, lifting holdings to 1,041.65 tonnes, and iShares Silver Trust (SLV) added 103.85 tonnes of silver, bringing its holdings to about 15,650 tonnes. The slide came as markets reassessed Fed policy: the Fed held rates at 3.75-4.00%, but two FOMC members backed a 25 basis-point hike, while stronger-than-expected US third-quarter GDP growth of 3.4% and elevated core inflation kept expectations for tighter policy for longer. Higher oil prices from tensions with Iran add to inflation risks, so high-rate expectations could weigh on gold in the short term, though some investors see deep pullbacks as chances to accumulate for the long term.
- World gold briefly drops below $4,000
Spot gold fell 0.6% to USD 3,998.49 an ounce on October 23, briefly dropping below USD 4,000 for the first time since mid-July, and was heading for its biggest weekly decline in over 4 months. Rising energy prices, with Brent crude hitting a 5-month high after Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, have fueled inflation worries and reinforced expectations that US interest rates will stay high. A tech-stock selloff also forced investors to post more margin, pushing them to sell gold and silver. According to CME's FedWatch tool, markets put a 92% chance on the Fed holding rates at next week's meeting and a 78% chance of a rate hike in December. Silver, palladium and platinum were also on track for weekly losses.
- Silver price down nearly 60% from peak
World silver prices fell about 5.4% over the past week and are down roughly 54% from their late-January 2026 peak, while Phú Quý silver prices in Vietnam are down nearly 60% from that peak. World silver traded around 53.8 USD/ounce on the morning of 24/10, while gold hovered near 3,995 USD/ounce after slipping below 4,000 USD/ounce. The sell-off was driven by investor concerns that escalating US-Iran tensions would push crude oil to multi-year highs, and by expectations that the Fed will keep monetary policy tight ahead of its FOMC meeting on 27-28/10 and the PCE inflation report on 29/10. BlackRock's iShares Silver Trust (SLV) bought a net over 14 tonnes of silver on 23/10 and now holds 15.5 thousand tonnes, worth 26.85 billion USD. According to Kitco News, silver also faces pressure from higher energy costs weighing on production demand.
- Gold falls for fourth session as oil rally fuels inflation concerns
Gold prices fell for a fourth straight session on Wednesday as rising oil prices stoked inflation concerns, with Brent touching $111.99 a barrel on Tuesday, its highest since May 20. Spot gold slipped 0.1% to $4,119.37 an ounce, while silver fell 1.1% to $57.35, platinum dropped 0.6% to $1,639.47 and palladium lost 1% to $1,091.78. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to hold rates at its October 27-28 meeting, but traders saw an 88% chance of a December hike, per CME's FedWatch Tool, and investors await US PCE inflation data next week. Higher rates and a stronger dollar typically weigh on gold, which pays no interest.
- Silver Prices Swing Sharply as the World's Largest Silver Fund Adds Over 200 Tonnes
The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) reported holdings rising by 113.67 tonnes on Nov. 2 to about 15,760 tonnes, after a 103.85-tonne gain on Oct. 30. Spot silver at one point rebounded about 3.6% to $50.6 an ounce on Nov. 2 after losing nearly 6% in the prior session, but it faced renewed selling pressure on Nov. 3. Spot gold closed at $3,947 an ounce, up $71.4 or 1.84%, as lower oil prices eased inflation worries and falling U.S. Treasury yields and a weaker dollar supported both metals. An ISM manufacturing PMI rose to 55.5 in October from 54.5 in September, above forecasts, reinforcing concerns about persistent inflation; markets price roughly a 75% chance the Fed raises rates again in December.
- Gold May Fall Further After Hitting One-Year Low
Most Wall Street experts expect gold prices to keep falling this week after the late-October sell-off, as gold closed the month at USD 3,874 an ounce, a one-year low and about 30% below its January peak of USD 5,595. Domestic gold bars dropped more than 2 million VND to 139 million VND per tael on October 30, 27% below the near-191 million VND peak earlier this year. Concerns that the Fed will keep rates high for longer, along with margin calls after tech stocks sold off, forced investors to sell gold and silver. Of 16 experts in Kitco News' weekly survey, 10 (63%) forecast further declines; Alex Kuptsikevich of FxPro sees gold reaching USD 3,300 in the coming months, while Daniel Pavilonis of StoneX Group flagged a possible drop to USD 3,000. Silver also fell nearly 6% to USD 49 an ounce, its first break below USD 50 in 11 months.

- What People Incorporated Common Stock (PPLI) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
People Inc. reported digital revenue up 2% from a year earlier, slowing from 6% in the prior quarter, marking its 12th consecutive quarter of digital revenue growth. Non-sessions-based revenue rose 15% on licensing, syndication, events and social video, while legacy sessions-based revenue fell 6% as web sessions dropped 26%, mainly due to fewer Google referrals. Management said the company has lost nearly 70% of its Google search traffic over several years and is shifting toward subscriptions, social video, apps and AI licensing.

- Why Ibotta, Inc. Rallied Over 30% Today
Ibotta shares rallied as much as 32.6% on Tuesday before easing to a 24.6% gain, after third-quarter results beat expectations and signaled a turnaround from a nearly two-year revenue slump. Revenue rose 17.4% to $97.8 million, adjusted EPS climbed 10.7% to $0.62 and adjusted EBITDA rose 43% to $23.8 million, a sharp acceleration from the prior quarter's 3% growth. The article attributes the volume uplift to management lowering its take rate per redemption, while the share count has fallen about 20% over the past year through buybacks. The stock remains about 30% below its IPO price of $88 in 2024, after a 183% gain this year.
- Binance breach puts custody at center of crypto infrastructure trade
The $6.3 billion Binance hack could push investors to place a higher premium on custody providers and the infrastructure that protects digital assets. Binance's leadership moved quickly to contain the fallout and commit its own resources to cover losses; CEO Richard Teng said the company has replenished 98% of the $6.34 billion in affected assets and is still buying outstanding, more illiquid assets. Tether, Circle, Ripple and others froze or restricted about $3 billion in stolen assets, while Coinbase blocked transfers to compromised wallets. The article suggests the next winners may be firms that can prove they can protect assets under extreme pressure, not just those with the most users, volume or assets under custody. Morgan Stanley sees a more consequential shift in separating custody from trading, as investors could move assets to independent custodians while still trading on centralized exchanges.

- 3 Stocks That Did Well the Last Time the Fed Raised Rates Aggressively
The Fed recently raised interest rates for the first time in years, with more hikes possible as inflation stays elevated and the war in Iran shows no sign of ending soon. ExxonMobil rose more than 80% in 2022 while the S&P 500 fell more than 19%, and is up around 50% this year, with a 2.4% dividend yield versus the index’s 1.1%. Merck rose 45% in 2022 and is up around 40% this year, with a dividend yield of about 2.3%. Super Micro Computer soared nearly 87% in 2022 but is up only about 8% this year, amid an auditor’s resignation and its co-founder being charged with smuggling Nvidia chips to China. The author is less convinced Super Micro would repeat that performance if rate hikes continued, stressing that stocks should be reassessed rather than assuming the past will repeat.
