    Jefferies calls gold weakness a buying opportunity, predicts gold price to reach $5,000 in 2027

    Jefferies views gold's current weakness as a buying opportunity, predicting gold prices will reach $5,000 in 2027, and believes mining profit margins are healthy.

    Editorial Comment

    Jefferies characterized the current weakness in gold as a buying opportunity and gave a target price of $5,000 in 2027, which provides precious metals bulls with an institutional-level anchor for long-term expectations. Traders need to pay attention to the core basis behind this judgment - healthy mining profit margins, which may imply that the retracement of gold prices will have limited squeeze on supply-side profits, thus supporting the bullish logic in the medium to long term.

    Gold fell more than 1.5% as U.S. CPI surge boosted bets on Fed rate hike

    Gold fell more than 1.5% as fiery U.S. CPI data boosted bets on a rate hike by the Federal Reserve.

    Editorial Comment

    The hot U.S. CPI data has strengthened expectations for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, and the upward pressure on interest rates has directly suppressed the non-interest-bearing asset gold. This trend once again confirms the negative correlation logic between interest rate expectations and gold prices. Traders should pay attention to the Fed's subsequent policy path and the performance of the U.S. dollar to assess the persistence of gold's pressure.

    U.S. CPI rose to 3.7% year-on-year in September

    The U.S. consumer price index (CPI) rose to 3.7% year-on-year in September.

    Editorial Comment

    The U.S. CPI rose to 3.7% year-on-year in September, providing the latest reading for observing the stickiness of inflation. This data may affect the market's expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain tightening, thereby disturbing the valuation environment of the U.S. dollar and gold. In the future, we need to pay attention to its marginal effect on the pricing of real interest rates and policy paths.

    IMF chief says Bessent growth plan will not be enough to curb U.S. deficit and debt

    IMF President Georgieva said that U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent's plan to reduce the deficit by relying on growth is not enough and fiscal measures are needed. U.S. federal debt has exceeded 100% of GDP, public debt has exceeded 40 trillion US dollars, and the deficit is expected to exceed 6% of GDP; the 10-year U.S. bond yield is hovering near the highest level since 2002, about 5.2% on Wednesday.

    Editorial Comment

    The president of the IMF questioned the U.S. Treasury Secretary’s idea of ​​relying on growth to resolve debt, and gave specific reference points for a deficit exceeding 6% and a debt-to-GDP ratio exceeding 100%, which means that U.S. debt supply pressure and fiscal sustainability are still core variables in the market. Traders should pay attention to the transmission of high 10-year U.S. Treasury yields to U.S. dollar liquidity and risk appetite, and pay attention to the potential impact of debt concerns on the pricing of safe-haven assets.

    Market impact of U.S. CPI forecast distribution versus core CPI

    The U.S. CPI forecast distribution shows that the overall CPI year-on-year consensus is 3.6%, and the core CPI month-on-month consensus is 0.2%. The market is paying attention to the core CPI month-on-month. If it rises to 0.4%, it may trigger risk aversion, the dollar rises, and U.S. stocks and precious metals fall; if it is in line with or lower than expectations, it will provide short-term respite.

    Editorial Comment

    The market is more sensitive to core CPI month-on-month than the overall data, and the 0.4% threshold is clearly regarded as the risk aversion trigger line. Traders need to pay attention to the deviation of 0.2% between the actual value and the consensus, rather than just looking at the year-on-year data, because exceeding expectations may simultaneously suppress precious metals and push up the dollar. In line with or below expectations would provide short-term respite for risk assets, but the sustainability of this situation remains to be seen.

    Spanish CPI in September confirmed 4.9%, rising core inflation increases pressure on the European Central Bank to raise interest rates

    Spain's final CPI rose by 4.9% year-on-year in September, consistent with the initial value, and core CPI rose to 3.1%, the highest since March 2024. HICP rose 5.0% year-on-year, the highest since February 2023. Energy prices have risen due to conflicts in the Middle East, but the acceleration of core inflation is more worrying. This makes it more difficult for the European Central Bank to bring inflation back to its 2% target and strengthens its reasons for caution.

    Editorial Comment

    Spain's core CPI accelerated to 3.1% in September, showing that inflationary pressures are being transmitted from energy to broader prices, increasing pressure on the European Central Bank to maintain a tightening stance. Traders need to pay attention to the impact of the overall inflation stickiness in the euro area on the policy path of the European Central Bank, and the resulting fluctuations in the euro against the dollar and gold priced in euros.

    Rising oil prices weigh on gold again, with market focus on U.S. CPI

    Gold is under pressure again amid rising oil prices, with the market awaiting today's U.S. CPI data. The author judges that the core month-on-month data is the key. If it rises to 0.4%, it may cause gold prices to fall due to hawkish re-pricing. If it is in line with expectations or is lower, it may lead to a short-term rebound. Technically, sellers are focusing on 3,885 and buyers are focusing on 4,228.

    Editorial Comment

    Rising oil prices have put gold under short-term pressure, and the market's focus has turned to U.S. CPI data. If the core month-on-month data deviates from expectations, it may trigger a repricing of the Federal Reserve's policy path, thereby amplifying fluctuations in gold prices and the U.S. dollar. Traders need to pay attention to the marginal changes in interest rate expectations after the data is released, as well as gold's reaction near key technical areas.

    WTI crude oil price analysis shows bullish momentum waning

    ForexLive analyst Itai Levitan pointed out in an analysis on October 14 that WTI November crude oil futures rebounded slightly after falling from about $95.41 to $94.10. The classification of buying and selling volume showed that buyers failed to promote continued price increases, and sellers dominated in the short term.

    Editorial Comment

    The long momentum of WTI crude oil has begun to weaken, and the classification of buying and selling volume shows that sellers have a short-term dominance. This may have a spillover effect on commodity currencies and overall risk sentiment related to oil prices through commodity price channels. Traders can pay attention to the long-short competition in oil prices near key support. If buyers fail to regain the initiative, the volatility of related currency pairs may increase; for gold, the potential impact of weakening oil prices on inflation expectations is also worth paying attention to.

    Bitcoin keeps pressure on $84,000 mark, U.S. stocks avoid sell-off in South Korean tech stocks

    Bitcoin continued to approach $84,000, up about 2%, at Tuesday's open on Wall Street; U.S. stocks failed to follow a 5.4% drop in South Korea's KOSPI index. CryptoQuant analysis pointed out that the U.S. dollar index rose to an 18-month high of 102.57, putting upward pressure on BTC and insufficient risk appetite in the crypto market.

    Editorial Comment

    The U.S. dollar index rose to an 18-month high and was accompanied by a lack of risk appetite in the crypto market, indicating that the current macro liquidity environment poses constraints on non-income assets and risk assets simultaneously. Gold traders need to pay attention to the suppressive effect of a stronger US dollar on gold prices, while the foreign exchange market needs to pay attention to whether the interest rate and risk aversion logic behind the high US dollar index continues.

    Paul Tudor Jones is bullish on oil, saying conflict with Iran could push oil prices up another $20 to $25

    Paul Tudor Jones is bullish on oil, believing that the conflict between the United States and Iran may push oil prices up another $20-$25. WTI crude oil futures were trading at about $92.50 on Tuesday morning. If realized, it would exceed the previous closing high of nearly $113/barrel in 2026. He also said the stock market would strongly resist such a rise and predicted that stocks may be pressured in 2027 by the increase in stock supply from the IPOs of large technology companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI.

    Same story, featured below《Paul Tudor Jones 称 2027 年美股可能面临严峻挑战》

    Editorial Comment

    If the conflict between the United States and Iran drives up oil prices, market concerns about the persistence of inflation may intensify, which will affect the assessment of gold's anti-inflation and safe-haven needs. At the same time, we need to pay attention to the transmission of oil price fluctuations to commodity currencies and the currencies of energy importing countries, as well as the possible cross-asset linkage caused by the stock market's rejection of high oil prices.

    Bumble Acquisition, JPMorgan Chase Earnings and Why AI Storage Stocks Reversed After Opening

    During the U.S. stock market on October 13, 2026, Bumble announced that it was acquired by Ithaca Holdings for approximately US$1.3 billion in cash ($6.05 per share). JPMorgan Chase’s financial report was lower than expected but the stock price rose slightly. AI storage stocks such as Micron fell due to the DRAM progress of China CXMT. Analysts believe that price trading is based on expectations rather than headlines, Bumble's merger spread reflects the risk of transaction completion, and JPMorgan Chase's rebound shows that good or bad financial reports are not the only factor.

    Editorial Comment

    The trend of this group of stocks shows that the market’s pricing of M&A, financial reports and other events does not depend on the title itself, but on the expected difference and transaction completion risk. This logic also applies to event-driven trading in the gold foreign exchange market. Traders should be wary of the deviation between the opening price and the final judgment, and pay attention to changes in risk premiums and the market's revision of expectations after the event.

    Anthropic to disclose Q3 financial data to institutional investors as it prepares for potential largest IPO

    Anthropic plans to disclose third-quarter financial data for the first time Wednesday at a meeting with potential investors, preparing for what could be the largest IPO in history. OpenAI previously updated revenue figures to $5 billion, lower than the widely reported $7 billion, which had dragged down semiconductor stocks and the Nasdaq; this week's data will help investors more accurately assess Anthropic's growth and profitability, and its listing valuation may reach $2 trillion.

    Editorial Comment

    Anthropic disclosed Q3 financial data before the IPO, and the revision of OpenAI's revenue caliber has disturbed technology stocks, indicating that the valuation of private AI companies is becoming a key variable in market risk sentiment. For the gold and foreign exchange markets, this kind of news may affect hedging demand and US dollar liquidity through asset price fluctuations.

    Gold rebounds after finding bids at 100 hourly and 200 hourly moving averages

    Gold rebounded after finding bids near the 100 hourly moving average of $4,157.82 and the 200 hourly moving average of $4,157.78, and is currently trading around $4,184. The key resistance above is the $4,223.51–$4,237.55 swing zone, and the 100-day moving average above $4,252.80; after breaking through and holding firm, the target is the 50% retracement level of $4,318.18. If it is blocked and falls back in this range, the current rebound will still be a restoration of a larger downward trend since the high point in late August.

    Editorial Comment

    Gold received buying orders near the hourly moving average, and the short-term long-short tug-of-war intensified. The upper swing zone and the 100-day moving average constitute a key observation window. If it cannot be broken through, the rebound may only be a repair in the downward trend, rather than a trend reversal.

    U.S. existing home sales in September reached an annualized rate of 3.99 million units, higher than the expected 3.95 million units

    Annualized sales of existing homes in the United States in September were 3.99 million units, higher than the expected 3.95 million units and a month-on-month increase of 1.5%. Sales fell year-over-year in all four regions; NAR chief economist said the recent rise in mortgage rates has made it harder for buyers to get loans, and higher inventory and longer sales times give buyers more bargaining power.

    Editorial Comment

    U.S. existing home sales in September rebounded from the previous month and were better than expected, but still fell overall year-on-year. The NAR's warning that mortgage interest rates suppress the ability to purchase homes shows that housing demand is highly sensitive to the interest rate environment.

    Paul Tudor Jones says U.S. stocks may face tough challenges in 2027

    Kazakhstan plans to sell gold, and its current gold holdings have reached 78% of the country’s reserves.

Its sales plan reflects more the diversification of reserve assets and risk management needs, rather than a direct judgment on the direction of gold prices. For the gold market, this sample of central bank reductions suggests that official gold purchases are not one-way and continuous, and there may be marginal changes on the supply side; traders should pay attention to the scale of subsequent sales, the pace of execution and whether it will trigger other central banks with high gold reserves to follow suit.

    Chart: How France got into debt trouble

    France's parliament begins debating the 2027 budget as high deficits, rising debt and student protests drive up the political costs of fiscal consolidation. Government borrowing costs rose to nearly a quarter-century high, French bond yield spreads widened relative to Germany, and markets questioned whether the European Central Bank would be forced to intervene. INSEAD professor Antonio Fatas said the European Central Bank would not step in just to "rescue" France.

    Editorial Comment

    France's high deficit and borrowing costs have risen to nearly a quarter-century high, the spread between France and Germany has widened, and market discussions have heated up on whether the European Central Bank will be forced to intervene.

    Gold is under pressure due to rising oil prices, and the market is paying attention to the impact of the U.S. CPI report on the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates.

    EUR/CHF has rebounded this week around 0.9300, but euro risks have not yet lifted. The French-German bond yield spread remains around 141 bps, close to the recent high of 150 bps, as French fiscal concerns persist.

    NAB said Australia's business confidence index fell to -13, with oil price shocks and interest rate hikes putting pressure on

    The NAB Business Confidence Index fell 4 points to -13 in September, while the Business Sentiment Index remained flat at -1 during the same period, both well below long-term averages. The RBA raised interest rates last month to a 15-year high of 4.60% and warned that inflation may tighten further if stickiness persists. Rising energy prices and financing costs are exacerbating corporate pessimism.

    NAB business confidence has fallen back into deep negative territory, while the RBA still warns that tightening may continue, which strengthens the sensitivity of the Australian dollar to subsequent inflation data, and short-term yield fluctuations may intensify.

    Bank of England Greene warns it will be too late to wait for second round of inflationary effects before acting

    Megan Greene, an external member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, said that the UK's monetary policy was not overly tightened. She warned that waiting for the second round of inflation effects to appear before taking action would make the central bank respond too late. She believed that the greater risk was that the fight against inflation was not active enough rather than raising interest rates too early. She voted in the minority for 25 basis point rate hikes in July and September, both of which were rejected, and she was not surprised when the IMF this week raised its UK growth forecast to 1.3% in 2026.

    Editorial Comment

    Greene's warning underscores wariness within the Bank of England over the effects of a second wave of inflation, providing more hawkish clues to expectations for a rate hike ahead of its November policy meeting. Traders need to pay attention to the statements of Bank of England members and evidence of the transmission of energy prices to wages. Its pricing effect on the pound and British bond yields may indirectly affect gold through exchange rate channels. The IMF's upward growth forecast did not change her hawkish stance, which means that the market's re-evaluation of the Bank of England's policy path may continue.

    The People's Bank of China set the USD/CNY central parity rate at 6.7298, above the forecast of 6.6981, the strongest since February 2, 2023

    The People's Bank of China set the USD/CNY central parity rate at 6.7298, above market estimates of 6.6981 and the strongest since February 2, 2023. The People's Bank of China allows the yuan to fluctuate within a 2% band above or below that reference price.

    Editorial Comment

    The People's Bank of China set the central parity rate at 6.7298, significantly higher than the market estimate of 6.6981, and hitting the strongest level since February 2023. This deviation shows that the official pricing is different from market expectations, and may amplify the short-term game of USD/CNY within the 2% fluctuation range. Traders need to pay attention to the subsequent central parity setting and the degree of deviation from the spot exchange rate to judge the pace and intensity of the central bank's management of exchange rate expectations.

    South Korea's Kospi plunged more than 6% and fell below 6,000 points. Chip selling and oil price concerns dragged down Asian stock markets.

    South Korea's Kospi index plunged more than 6% to fall below 6,000 points, hitting a new low since July 31. It was dragged down by inflation concerns caused by a sell-off in chip stocks and rising oil prices. Japan's Nikkei 225 Index fell 2.6%, China's ChiNext Index fell 3%, the CSI 300 Index fell 1.3%, and the Shanghai Composite Index fell 1.2%. Brent crude oil was near a two-week high as the dollar strengthened on safe-haven demand.

    Editorial Comment

    The sharp correction in Asian stock markets combined with the strengthening of the US dollar as a safe haven reflects the market's repricing of high-valuation sectors and energy cost pressures. For gold traders, they need to pay attention to the tug-of-war between oil prices pushing up inflation expectations and tightening US dollar liquidity, and whether risk aversion can provide independent support for gold prices. In terms of foreign exchange, pay attention to the persistence of the US dollar index in risk aversion and its transmission to non-US currencies.

    IMF warns only 32 economies contribute 95% of global growth, AI widens gap

    The IMF raised its 2026 global growth forecast to 3.1% from 3.0% in July, arguing that AI investments offset the energy shock of conflicts in the Middle East; but warned that sources of growth are increasingly concentrated, with just 32 economies contributing 95% of global growth, down from 54 in April. The oil price is assumed to average US$96/barrel this year and US$87/barrel next year, and the Strait of Hormuz will reopen in March 2027; if AI investment falls rapidly, global output may decrease by 1.1% by 2028.

    Editorial Comment

    The IMF upwardly revised global growth to 3.1% in 2026, but the source of growth narrowed to 32 economies, indicating that the basis for recovery is not broad; traders need to pay attention to the potential impact of a rapid decline in AI investment on risk appetite and commodity demand, which may intensify the volatility of non-U.S. currencies and safe-haven assets. At the same time, the hypothetical downward movement in oil prices and the reopening schedule of the Strait of Hormuz may affect inflation expectations and the policy paths of major central banks, and are worthy of continued tracking.

    Nvidia GPUs are everywhere, six ways for enterprises to obtain computing power

    The demand for Nvidia's GPUs has pushed its market value to nearly $6 trillion, and companies are acquiring computing power through various methods such as ultra-large-scale cloud, new cloud, and self-purchase. NVIDIA expects October quarter revenue of $108 billion, a year-on-year increase of 89%; the number of GPU suppliers has increased from 209 to 323, and B200 spot prices have doubled since March.

    Editorial Comment

    The surge in demand for NVIDIA GPUs and the doubling of prices show that technology capital expenditures are still in an expansion cycle, which usually supports market risk appetite and may weaken the safe-haven appeal of gold while affecting U.S. dollar liquidity and global capital allocation. Traders can pay attention to the data's subsequent guidance on the relative performance of risk assets and safe-haven assets, as well as the potential transmission of high computing power costs to corporate profits and inflation expectations.
