- World silver price tops 53 USD/ounce, domestic silver up millions of dong per kg
On the morning of November 5, world silver rose to 53.3 USD/ounce, up 3.6 USD from the previous morning, while world gold gained 88 USD to around 4,135 USD/ounce. Converted at Vietcombank's exchange rate, world silver equals about 44.4 million dong per kg, before taxes and fees. Domestically, Phu Quy's silver bar sell price rose 2.501 million dong to 44.506 million dong per kg, while DOJI quoted silver bars at 1.893 – 1.958 million dong per lượng. Silver rebounded after the Democrats' midterm election win pushed the dollar and Treasury yields lower, alongside falling crude oil prices and hopes of renewed US-Iran talks. Phu Quy's buying price is about 1.24 million dong per kg below the converted world price, while its selling price is less than 100,000 dong per kg above it.
- Gold Jumps Over 3% After Democrats' Sweeping Midterm Victory
Spot gold rose 3.4% to 4,061.30 USD/ounce and spot silver gained 5.1% to 52.29 USD/ounce on November 4, as the US dollar weakened after the midterm elections, where Democrats were forecast to win control of the House of Representatives. The USD Index fell about 0.3%, US stocks rallied as political risk eased, while Treasury yields and oil prices declined. StoneX's Rhona O'Connell said that if Democrats control both chambers of Congress, gold could be supported as rates and the dollar are likely to face downward pressure, though this could bring fiscal policy standoffs and institutional conflicts. Capital.com's Daniela Hathorn said the recovery remains fragile, since geopolitical instability does not automatically translate into safe-haven demand, and gold and silver could be sold off during sharp stock declines as investors liquidate profitable or easily convertible assets. Gold is down more than 6% and silver about 26% year-to-date, after rising 66% and 135% in 2025.

Gold and silver extended their rally after Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in the U.S. midterm elections, with the two metals adding a combined $1 trillion in market capitalization, according to The Kobeissi Letter. Gold rose 2.94% to about $4,045.68 on Wednesday, while silver gained 4.39% to roughly $51.97 an ounce.

It highlights four ETFs to watch: SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), ProShares Ultra Gold (UGL), Direxion Daily Gold Bull 2X ETF (UGLD) and ProShares Ultra Silver (AGQ).

- Republicans Suffer Heavy Defeat: Could the Diesel Oil Deal Already Be in Ruins While Trump Is Still in Office?
Financial Times sources say two of three Russian diesel tankers bound for the U.S. have diverted, raising doubts about the U.S.-Russia diesel deal. After the midterms, bipartisan lawmakers opposed lifting sanctions, Representative Gregory Meeks introduced a bill to block corrupt oil deals with Russia, and New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill warned that docking Russian tankers violates federal law. A third tanker is due in New York this weekend but could also divert. Yet U.S. fuel supplies have fallen below 100 million barrels, the lowest in over two decades, and Russian supply could ease price pressure; even if the bill passes, the President could veto it, and two-thirds of votes would be needed to override. Bloomberg, citing a source close to the Kremlin, says Russia could win more concessions, while The Conversation notes Trump, in office until 2028, retains broad foreign-policy powers.
- Jim Cramer's top 10 things to watch in the stock market Thursday
Cramer's Thursday list notes Dow futures rising and Nasdaq futures falling after a midterm-driven rally, following Wednesday's Nasdaq gain of nearly 1.5% and 3% jump in the Dow, even as key tech stocks fell on worries about the data center buildout. Qualcomm fell 10% on a weak forecast and Arm 7% after its post-earnings decline, while Snap dropped 11% after daily users fell year over year. HP named former GSK chief Emma Walmsley as CEO, and Citi raised its Stanley Black & Decker price target to $140 from $107. Cardinal Health beat expectations and raised its full-year profit outlook, and McDonald's rose 6.5% after earnings with several price target hikes, while Dutch Bros fell more than 11% on light comps, slowing traffic and a trimmed full-year outlook.
- Barkin sees interest rate hikes ahead, but at a gradual pace
Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin said Thursday that the central bank will need to raise interest rates further, though he is unsure by how much or at what pace. In a CNBC interview at the Richmond Fed's 2026 CFO Summit, he voiced concern over inflation, saying unemployment is near record lows while inflation is too high. He said a gradual pace still makes sense given the uncertainty, and called inflation the most important risk right now. The Fed's benchmark rate is held at 3.75%–4%, and markets price a better than 80% chance of a December hike, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool.
- Google Joins The Surge Of Tech Layoffs
Buyouts are spreading from Microsoft to Oracle and now Google, and layoffs and buyouts across the biggest tech companies have topped 100,000 this year. Microsoft offered buyouts to 60,000 employees, while Oracle cut 21,000 people, about 13% of its staff. According to Reuters, Google has started “voluntary exit packages,” though it remains unclear whether they will stay voluntary. The author warns that if these firms are early signs, the US jobless rate could rise quickly: with a US workforce of 163 million people per the BLS, losing 1.6 million jobs would raise the jobless rate by 1%.
- Democratic sweep puts crypto on defensive in Washington
Democrats' sweep of Congress is likely to reset the political calculus for crypto, pushing the Clarity Act to the back burner and setting up a more adversarial approach in Washington. Critics such as Sen. Sherrod Brown returning to the Senate, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren keeping influence over financial policy, mean the new Congress may focus on scrutinizing President Trump's personal crypto dealings. TD Cowen's Jaret Seiberg said Clarity is unlikely to advance over the next two years. The crypto industry spent more than $200 million on the midterms, and according to Stand With Crypto, 19 pro-crypto candidates won Senate races versus eight anti-crypto candidates, while 228 pro-crypto House candidates were elected versus 106.
- I've Been Writing About Disney Stock for 30 Years. Here's Why My Conviction Has Never Been Higher.
The author argues Disney's business is performing much better than its flat share price, which is barely higher this year and has lost roughly a third of its value over five years. Disney had nine of the 11 most visited theme parks worldwide in the TEA Global Experiences Index, and five U.S. parks each drew more than 10 million visitors in 2025. Disney was responsible for all six U.S. films that topped $1 billion at the box office in 2024 and 2025, and Disney+, Hulu and ESPN have been collectively profitable for two years. The ad-free Disney+ price rose from $6.99 to $21.49 a month, and Disney will add four more cruise ships over the next four years. The shares trade at less than 16 times analysts' fiscal 2027 earnings estimates, and the author notes risks including a softening economy, a new CEO and some box-office duds.
