Gold Falls Below $3,950 as Precious Metals Weaken Ahead of US Midterm Elections

Spot gold fell 0.7% to $3,920.44 per ounce on Tuesday, erasing part of Monday's 1.9% gain as selling spread across precious metals. Investors weighed US-Iran peace talks, inflation expectations and the upcoming US midterm elections. Silver dropped 2.8% to $49.2455 per ounce, platinum fell 1% to $1,432.32 and spot palladium lost 1.6% to $952.15, while the US Dollar Index edged down 0.1% to 101.75. Gold had lost 6.8% in October, falling below $4,000 and hitting a one-year low. Lower oil prices have eased inflation worries, while some investors sold gold to cover losses from a slump in AI-related stocks.

  • Gold Rebounds as Investors Seek Cash

    Gold is trying to recover after its worst October since 2008, rebounding from a one-year low as lower oil prices ease inflation pressure, though it fell nearly 4% on Friday. Standard Chartered’s Suki Cooper says gold is currently acting as a source of liquidity rather than a safe haven, so equity and tech jitters are weighing on prices, while demand from China and Asia is a bright spot. Gold has held around the $4,000 level and near-term technicals look fragile, though ETF holdings remain close to record highs and weaker-than-normal Diwali demand makes last-minute buying more likely. For silver, ETF outflows and substitution risk from the solar industry have added pressure, with prices around $50 per ounce, a level that was once the ceiling for the market.

From mid-October, gold transactions of 5 million VND or more in a day must be paid by non-cash means, and Phu Quy accepts only transfers from bank accounts in the customer's own name, not e-wallets.

  • Precious metals rally propels miners to top of FTSE 100

    Precious metals producers and mainstream miners rose to the top of the FTSE 100 as gold, silver and copper prices strengthened. Fresnillo gained 3.6% and Endeavour Mining 3.5%, with gold up 2.9% to around $4,054 an ounce and silver up 4.4% to about $51.94 an ounce. Anglo American advanced 2.3% as copper rose 0.6% to around $6.44 a pound. The FTSE 100 rose about 0.3% to 10,669 by 9am, helped by a weaker US dollar and lower Treasury yields after the US midterm elections. Weir slid 7% after its third-quarter order intake disappointed despite unchanged guidance, while BAE Systems fell more than 5%, Babcock almost 3%, and Smith+Nephew around 2% after cutting its full-year revenue and profit expectations.

  • Gold bar prices rise by more than 1 million VND

    Domestic SJC gold bars were quoted at 138.2-141.2 million VND per tael on the morning of 3 November, up 1.2 million from the previous session and 2.2 million over two days. SJC gold rings rose 1.2 million to 134-138 million VND per tael, while PNJ and DOJI traded around 135.5-139.5 million. World spot gold closed 2 November up $71 at $3,945 per ounce, roughly equal to 126.5 million VND per tael, which narrowed the domestic gap to about 15 million VND per tael from 16-18 million a week earlier. The article linked the rebound to an 8% drop in crude oil early in the week, which eased inflation concerns, while investors awaited this week's US midterm elections. Silver bars fell 1.6% domestically, and the USD was about 1.5% lower at banks than at the start of the year.

  • What sets AMD data centers apart as Intel stock keeps sliding?

    AMD beat Wall Street estimates for its third-quarter earnings, as AI data center revenue nearly doubled to $8.55 billion. Guests said Intel posted strong data center numbers but weak PC sales, and its stock plunged, while AMD's forward guidance, contracts, backlog and margins were seen as stronger. Revenue could grow 80% in 2027, up from an earlier estimate of 35%. They noted that higher memory prices and component costs were hurting PC demand, with 2027 PC shipments projected to fall by a double-digit percentage and gaming sales down 8% year-on-year. Commentators compared AMD's focus on data centers to Nvidia's shift from gaming chips to AI.

  • Dow Jones futures surge 1,000 points after Democratic win, Trump makes surprising new move

    Dow Jones futures jumped as much as 1,083 points, or 2.1%, after Democrats won majorities in both the House and Senate in the midterm elections and took several key governorships, including Texas. The result could curb President Trump's policies, which combined business tax cuts with tariffs and the war in Iran, contributing to higher inflation. S&P 500 futures rose 1.1%, while Nasdaq-100 gained only 0.4% as AI-linked stocks came under pressure. Trump told the New York Times he was “fully prepared” to accept the results and said he and Republican lawmakers would work with Democrats, while Walmart rose 2%, Bank of America 1.9%, UnitedHealth 1.4% and Molina Healthcare 6.3%. Investors remain wary of possible restrictions on data center construction, as Gina Hinojosa, who pledged to pause new data center projects, won the Texas governor's race.

  • What i-80 Gold (IAU) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call

    i-80 Gold said the feasibility study for Granite Creek Underground is complete, outlining an 8.5-year mine life, while Archimedes is set to begin mining in Q4 2026. The Lone Tree refurbishment is on schedule for first gold in Q4 2027, with its $430 million capital estimate largely intact. The company expects production to rise from 40,000–50,000 ounces annually to 150,000–200,000 ounces from 2028, with 2026 output in the lower half of guidance. In Q3, Granite Creek produced about 9,100 ounces of gold, though processing lagged mining due to limited availability at a third-party processor. At quarter-end, the company held about $411 million in cash and could access up to roughly $350 million in additional liquidity over the next 18 months, subject to financing arrangements and approvals.

  • AI data center stocks dip as midterm elections shake up Wall Street

    CNBC cited $173 million in General Election data center advertising, almost all negative, with $140 million from Democratic advertisers. An NBC exit poll found 56% of voters called AI and data centers a crucial or major factor in their vote. In Texas, Hinojosa defeated Abbott, and her platform includes a moratorium or new requirements for data centers in a state expected to account for a quarter of capacity by 2030. Panelists said investors are wary, pushing down neocloud stocks such as CoreWeave and Applied Digital, along with Tesla and SpaceX, while hyperscalers were holding up better. They also noted that public opposition to nearby data centers over noise, gas turbines, fumes and water use had grown.

  • Why Cipher Digital Stock Lost 53.9% in October

    Cipher Digital (CIFR) fell 53.9% in October, versus a 0.9% dip in the S&P 500, as AI infrastructure stocks came under pressure over heavy borrowing needs. The sell-off intensified after the company raised $850 million through 0% convertible notes due 2032, with a conversion price of $15.31 per share, and the stock dropped 12.8% and 12.4% as the deal priced. Other pressures included a $359 million investment in the Barber Lake campus where construction costs rose, a Barclays warning on AI financing, and a record $6.3 billion Binance hack that hit crypto stocks. Bitcoin mining still accounted for 78% of Q3 revenue. Cipher has $16.6 billion in contracted revenue and expects about $864 million in annual net operating income once three campuses stabilize, yet it owes about $6.7 billion and was worth about $3 billion at the end of October. The article says the key question is whether the company can sign leases that justify its borrowing.
