  • US jobless claims fell to 194 , 000 last week , lowest since July

    US jobless claims fell to 194,000 last week from 200,000 the week before, the fewest in three months, a sign that layoffs remain low. Claims have not topped 230,000 in any single week this year, and the four-week average dipped to 197,750. Despite higher energy prices since the fighting with Iran began on Feb. 28, the job market has held up, with a “low-hire, low-fire” pattern as hiring remains sluggish. The unemployment rate ticked up to a still-low 4.2% last month. Employers have added an average of 68,000 jobs a month this year, up from 9,700 in 2025 but below 166,000 in 2023–2024 and 491,000 during the 2021–2022 rebound.

  • US Dollar Price Forecast: UK Jobs Surprise, DXY Tests 101.76 as EUR/USD, GBP/USD Firm

    The dollar steadied after a two-day losing streak, while French political turmoil pushed the French 10-year bond yield near 5%, its highest level since 2002. Odds of an October rate hike fell to about 17%, while December hike bets rose to 94%. UK unemployment fell to 4.7% for June to August, the lowest in a year, though pay growth slowed to 3.7%. The Dollar Index at 101.79 is testing support at 101.76 below a descending trendline, with RSI at 41 pointing to weak momentum. GBP/USD at 1.3349 keeps a bullish bias above 1.3302, while EUR/USD at 1.1227 faces resistance near 1.1270.

  • US Economy Set for Unprecedented Record in 57 Years

    U.S. initial jobless claims for the week ending October 17 fell by 6,000 to 194,000 after seasonal adjustment, below the 200,000 forecast by economists surveyed by Reuters. It was the sixth straight week claims stayed at or below 200,000, and the latest figure is close to the 189,000 recorded in mid-July, the lowest since 1969. Economists say companies are holding onto staff as the labor supply shrinks due to retirements and tighter immigration policy, while corporate profits are supported by solid domestic demand. Hiring remains subdued, with the U.S. adding just 29,000 jobs in September versus 133,000 in August, while continuing claims rose by 25,000 to 1.728 million. Economists expect the Fed to hold its policy rate at about 3.75%-4% at next week's meeting, before a possible increase in December.

  • Could Buying Micron Stock Today Help Set You Up for Life?

    An article says a $10,000 investment in Micron Technology three years ago would now be worth almost $118,000, and argues that demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) in AI data centers will keep supporting its growth. Bloomberg Intelligence estimates HBM market revenue could reach $641 billion in 2030, up from $4 billion in 2023 and well above its January 2025 estimate of $130 billion. According to one estimate cited, HBM uses about 3x the wafer capacity of conventional DRAM, suggesting the memory shortage may last until at least the end of the decade. Micron is due to release fiscal 2027 first-quarter results next month, with the company expecting non-GAAP EPS of $38.15 on revenue of $61.5 billion, versus $13.6 billion in revenue and $4.78 EPS a year earlier. The article notes Micron trades at 12 times earnings and 8 times sales.

  • Marvell’s $115 Billion Deal Has Lost More Than a Third of Its Value

    Marvell agreed to buy Lumentum in an all-stock deal with an implied enterprise value of $115 billion, with each Lumentum share converting into 4.500 Marvell shares under a fixed ratio that has no price protection. Marvell shares have fallen 36.5% from the last unaffected close, turning the offer's 23.9% premium into a discount, and Lumentum closed at $626.75, about 12.8% below the $719.10 value of the offer. The article reads this wide spread as doubt about the deal closing on current terms or about Marvell's stock, with closing expected in the first half of calendar 2028 pending shareholder votes, antitrust and foreign-investment reviews. Analyst targets averaging $321.87 imply about 101% upside, but the article says many were likely set before the deal, even as fiscal second-quarter revenue rose 36.5% to $2.739 billion and third-quarter revenue is guided to $3.150 billion. The companies project more than $1 billion in annual cost savings, and the article concludes the stock case looks weaker than the business case.

  • Au Gold Corp Samples 40 g/t and 22 g/t Gold from the Harvey's Reef Complex Defining Additional High-Priority Drill Targets and Engages Prestige Drilling at the Havelock Gold-Antimony Project

    Au Gold Corp reports a target development update for its Havelock Gold-Antimony project in Victoria, Australia, with select grab samples at Harvey's Reef returning 22 g/t gold from historic mining waste piles and 25, 16 and 16 g/t from shallow workings along 600 m of the reef trend. A 40 g/t gold sample from Ant Reef, an oblique trend to Harvey's Reef south, adds another target to the list. The company also cites a historical 1985 RC drill hole that returned 1.5 m grading 9.24 g/t gold from 34.5 m depth on a parallel vein to the west, and a quartz-stibnite sample from its technical report site visit that graded 12.20 g/t gold and 1,800 ppm antimony. Au Gold has engaged Prestige Drilling Services for diamond drilling at Havelock and wants to advance the Harvey's Reef Complex with the first diamond drill testing.

  • Pacific Empire Minerals Completes 2026 Diamond Drill Program at its Trident and Pinnacle Copper-Gold Properties

    Pacific Empire Minerals (TSXV: PEMC) has completed its 2026 diamond drill program at its Trident and Pinnacle copper-gold properties in the Quesnel Terrane of north-central British Columbia. The company drilled 14 holes totalling 4,548.5 metres, about 75% more than its 2025 program, with eight holes at Trident (2,410.6 metres) and six at Pinnacle (2,137.9 metres). Core from 13 of the 14 holes has been logged and sampled, and 2,286 samples have been sent to ALS Canada for analysis. Trident assays are expected by the end of 2026 and Pinnacle results in early 2027, and the company says the program supports its view of the two properties as one district-scale copper-gold porphyry system.
