    SpaceX plans to raise $40 billion to buy Nvidia chips

    SpaceX is in talks with banks and funds to raise $40 billion in $10 billion in loans and $30 billion in bonds to buy Nvidia AI chips. Apollo Capital Management is expected to coordinate the deal, with PIMCO involved in discussions and SpaceX potentially using GPUs as collateral. Morgan Stanley estimates that AI infrastructure will require $1.5 trillion in external financing by 2028.

    Editorial Comment

    SpaceX's large-scale bond financing mortgaged by GPUs provides a concrete sample for the wave of AI infrastructure financing. Its US$30 billion bond issuance may cause marginal disturbance to the supply and demand of US debt and US dollar liquidity. For gold, this may not only be transmitted through the real interest rate channel, but also need to pay attention to the impact of the AI ​​investment boom on risk appetite. Foreign exchange markets can watch for indirect signals of the attractiveness of such financing to U.S. dollar assets.

    Wall Street promotes data centers as major real estate bet, risks are piling up

    Wall Street is pitching data centers to investors as real estate allocations, but the associated risks are accumulating. Blackstone's data center REIT has fallen about 16% since listing in May, closing below $17. Polls show that 70% of Americans oppose the construction of new local data centers, and New York and Texas have suspended the approval of new ultra-large-scale projects.

    Editorial Comment

    Risks in data center alternative assets are accumulating. The post-listing decline of Blackstone-related REITs and the tightening of approvals in many places may weaken market confidence in highly valued alternative assets, thereby affecting overall risk appetite. For the gold market, attention needs to be paid to whether such risk signals trigger cross-asset hedging needs, thereby changing the allocation logic of funds to gold; in terms of foreign exchange, attention should be paid to possible marginal changes in U.S. dollar liquidity and risk sentiment.

    Tech stock resilience confuses investors, options market put/call ratio gives clues

    Options market data showed that the QQQ put/call open interest ratio rose to 1.49, the highest since the last week of June, as traders increased hedging against the risk of a pullback in technology stocks. The Nasdaq 100 index fell as much as 1.8% on Thursday after the FT reported that OpenAI's revenue fell short of expectations; the largest intraday transaction was bullish, but a $20 million bearish bet emerged after the market.

    Editorial Comment

    The put/call ratio in the options market rose to its highest level since late June, and $20 million in bearish bets emerged after the bell, indicating that traders are increasing their hedging against a pullback in technology stocks. If this signal triggers a contraction in risk appetite, the safe-haven properties of gold may receive attention, and the foreign exchange market will need to pay attention to the linkage reactions of safe-haven currencies such as the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen.

    Delta Air Lines lowers 2026 profit forecast due to soaring fuel costs, CEO says demand remains strong

    Delta Air Lines has lowered its 2026 profit forecast due to soaring fuel costs, lowering its full-year adjusted earnings per share forecast to $5.10 to $5.60 from $6.50 to $7.50. The company also lowered its free cash flow forecast to $2.5 billion from a maximum of $4 billion, and third-quarter adjusted earnings per share and revenue fell short of analysts' expectations for the first time in two years. The CEO said that rising fuel costs are driving up ticket prices, but travel demand remains strong, and fourth-quarter revenue is expected to increase by 20% year-on-year.

    Editorial Comment

    Delta Air Lines has lowered its profit and cash flow forecasts due to soaring fuel costs, indicating that energy price pressures are being transmitted to the corporate side and fares, but the demand side remains resilient. This provides the market with microscopic clues to observe the stickiness of inflation and the policy path of the Federal Reserve. If relevant data strengthens the spillover of high oil prices to core inflation, it may affect the risk pricing of the US dollar and gold.

    World gold prices rise for two consecutive days, hitting highest level in a week

    World gold prices closed up US$61 to US$4,193 per ounce on October 9, rising to a weekly high for the second consecutive day. Dip buying and falling U.S. bond yields have fueled the rebound; analysts believe that if inflation data is higher next week and the Federal Reserve raises interest rates more, gold prices may retest support at $4,000.

    Editorial Comment

    The continuous rebound in gold prices was mainly driven by bargain hunting and the fall in U.S. bond yields, with market sentiment recovering in the short term. However, traders need to pay attention to changes in inflation data and Fed policy expectations next week. If the data strengthens tightening expectations, it may suppress gold prices again and drive fluctuations in the dollar and yields.

    The junk bond market is flashing yellow lights, and these are the warning signs to be wary of

    Cracks appeared in the high-yield bond market, with yields rising to 8.1% from 7.22% a month ago, and the overall spread reaching 315 basis points, but experts said it was only a "flashing yellow light" and far from red. The pressure is mainly concentrated on the lowest-rated bonds of CCC and below. The interest spread has risen sharply to about 1,250 basis points in the past year, while the BB-grade spread is 194 basis points. The interviewed strategists said that the spread expansion is still orderly, and recommended that single B-grade opportunities be selected among high-yield bonds.

    Editorial Comment

    High-yield bond stratification data provides a window to observe the transmission of credit risk: the spread of CCC grade has risen to about 1,250 basis points while the BB grade is still relatively mild, indicating that the pressure is currently concentrated on the lowest rating and the risk has not yet been systemized. For gold and foreign exchange markets, such signals mean that risk aversion may increase but to a controllable extent. Traders should pay attention to whether credit spreads spread to high ratings and the potential disruption to global liquidity expectations.

    SpaceX spectrum acquisition slams telecom stocks, Verizon posts biggest one-day drop since 2002

    U.S. telecom stocks tumbled on Friday after SpaceX announced it would acquire a nationwide spectrum portfolio to expand Starlink mobile services. Verizon closed down 8.75%, its worst single day since 2002; T-Mobile fell 13.27%, AT&T fell 9.81%, each their worst single day since 2013 and 2000, and SpaceX stock price rose about 1%.

    Editorial Comment

    SpaceX's acquisition of spectrum has plunged U.S. telecom stocks, reflecting that the impact of technological power on traditional industries is triggering asset repricing. For the gold foreign exchange market, it is necessary to pay attention to the disruption of the overall risk appetite and capital flows caused by this incident. At the same time, pay attention to whether the fluctuations of large technology stocks indirectly affect precious metals and major currencies through US dollar liquidity or risk aversion sentiment.

    Fed survey shows U.S. household debt delinquency rate rises to highest since 2010

    The Federal Reserve's latest consumer finance survey shows that the proportion of U.S. households with delinquent loans rose from about 12% to nearly 20% by the end of 2025, the highest level since 2010. The proportion of households overdue for more than two months rose from 5% to over 8%, and the proportion of households with a debt-to-income ratio of more than 40% rose from 6.5% to 8.6%, the highest level since 2013. During the same period, the median net worth of households in the top income group rose 31%, while the median net worth of households in the bottom quartile fell 6%.

    Editorial Comment

    A Federal Reserve survey shows that the U.S. household debt delinquency rate has risen to the highest level since 2010, and the net worth of low-income groups has declined, reflecting the increasing debt repayment pressure and balance sheet differentiation of the household sector. This requires the market to more carefully assess the sustainability of U.S. consumption resilience and pay attention to its potential impact on the Fed's policy path and the U.S. dollar. Gold may gain more attention as a safe-haven asset, but subsequent consumption and credit data still need to be verified.

    Two large-scale put option transactions between Micron and Nvidia raise questions about the trend of chip stocks

    There were large-scale put option transactions between Micron and Nvidia on Friday, with SMH put options trading exceeding 180,000, far higher than the 50,000 call options. About $270 million of Micron's premiums are tied to put buying, with deep in-the-money puts expiring in June 2028 constituting a position similar to a synthetic short. The transactions cast doubt on the chip sector's gains.

    Editorial Comment

    The report shows a significant bearish bias in the chip sector derivatives market, an imbalance in the put/call ratio of SMH options and a synthetic short structure of deep in-the-money put options on Micron, indicating that some funds are hedging the rise in technology stocks or betting on the downside. For the gold and foreign exchange markets, if such transactions trigger fluctuations in risky assets, it may affect the demand for safe-haven assets and U.S. dollar-related currency pairs through the risk preference channel. It is necessary to pay attention to whether subsequent stock market sentiment further spreads.

    The wave of retail investors’ margin trading in stocks heats up: Robinhood’s margin balance increased 127% year-on-year to US$21.6 billion

    Ordinary retail investors are increasing their margin borrowing to speculate in stocks: Robinhood's margin balance reached US$21.6 billion in the second quarter, a year-on-year increase of 127%; the total market margin debt was approximately US$1.5 trillion in June, a record high. Hy Luu, a Houston investor who lives with his mother, concentrated his Tesla holdings and used margin to expand his positions. At one time, he accumulated more than $100,000 in margin debt, and his net worth has exceeded $800,000. Fundstrat data shows that when monthly margin debt grew by more than 45% year-on-year since 1960, U.S. stocks fell five out of six times.

    Editorial Comment

    Retail margin debt is rising at an accelerated pace, indicating that U.S. stock risk appetite is at a high level, but historical data shows that such high growth rates are often accompanied by the risk of a market correction. For the gold and foreign exchange markets, attention needs to be paid to changes in risk aversion that may be triggered by fluctuations in U.S. stocks, as well as the transmission of tight U.S. dollar liquidity to non-U.S. currencies and precious metals.

    Krugman says France may be 'too big to save'

    Nobel Prize-winning economist Krugman said in his Substack blog on Thursday that France's fiscal path is unsustainable and may have gone from "too big to fail" to "too big to save." Former European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet told CNBC on Friday that the French government must come up with a credible deficit reduction plan as one of the conditions for activating the ECB's TPI tool.

    Editorial Comment

    Krugman's judgment connects France's fiscal predicament with the risk framework of the European debt crisis. If the market prices France as "too big to save," it may amplify doubts about the euro zone's policy support capabilities and affect the euro's exchange rate fluctuations. Traders need to pay attention to whether France's deficit reduction plan can meet the conditions for the activation of the European Central Bank's TPI, as well as the linked changes in the safe-haven properties of the euro and gold during this process.

    Vietnam gold prices rise, global spot gold rises 1.1%

    Gold prices in Vietnam rose on Friday, with Saigon Gold and Jewelry Company gold bar prices rising 0.91% to VND144.3 million (US$5,585.55) per tael, and global spot gold rising 1.1% to US$4,177.44 per ounce. The price of gold rings simultaneously increased by 0.91% to VND143.8 million per tael. The global rally was driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar, falling U.S. bond yields and falling oil prices. The Federal Reserve unanimously raised interest rates by 25 basis points last month, and the market is paying attention to subsequent economic data and policy clues before the Federal Reserve's October meeting.

    Editorial Comment

    Vietnam's gold price has risen along with global gold prices, driven by a weakening U.S. dollar and a fall in U.S. bond yields, showing that the short-term gold market still uses the U.S. dollar and real interest rates as pricing anchors. Traders should pay attention to the marginal changes in subsequent U.S. economic data on the Fed's policy expectations, and whether Vietnam's local gold prices can continue to follow the fluctuations of international gold prices.

    The New York Fed said tariffs made 67 categories of everyday goods more expensive by 2.9 percentage points

    The New York Fed reported that as of February, tariffs had made 67 categories of everyday goods more expensive by 2.9 percentage points, and without tariffs these goods would have fallen by nearly 1%. The study also found that for every 1 percentage point increase in average tariffs, the price of consumer goods will be approximately 0.25 percentage points higher one year later, and approximately 26% of the tariff increases will ultimately be translated into price increases.

    Editorial Comment

    Quantitative data from the New York Fed provide a clear reference for the transmission of tariffs to consumer goods prices, suggesting that the impact of trade policy on inflation stickiness is emerging. Traders need to pay attention to the constraints this mechanism imposes on the path of monetary policy, as well as changes in the pricing environment for gold and the U.S. dollar amid the intertwining of inflation expectations and policy uncertainty.

    The European Central Bank released the minutes of its September meeting and raised interest rates by 25 basis points.

    The European Central Bank released the minutes of the monetary policy meeting on September 9-10, 2026, and decided to increase the three key interest rates by 25 basis points, and the deposit facility interest rate rose from 2.25% to 2.50%. The minutes showed that the energy shock caused by the conflict in the Middle East was more lasting than expected, and the staff raised the inflation forecast for 2027 and 2028 to 2.5% and 2.1% respectively. Officials assess inflation risks to be on the upward side, but the economy remains resilient and is expected to grow by 0.9% in 2026.

    Editorial Comment

    The European Central Bank minutes confirmed that the energy shock had led to an upward revision of inflation expectations and raised interest rates by 25 basis points, showing that policymakers are more vigilant about the risk of upward inflation than they are worried about economic resilience. For the foreign exchange market, attention will be paid to whether subsequent meetings will continue to tighten to anchor inflation expectations; for gold, the stickiness of energy-driven inflation may strengthen its anti-inflation properties, which needs to be evaluated based on the evolution of real interest rates and risk aversion.

    Fed Governor Waller discusses the signaling value of the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP)

    In his speech, Fed Governor Waller explained that the September interest rate hike was due to the stability of the labor market and continued inflationary pressure, and proposed the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) as an interest rate path signaling tool that retains data dependence. The September SEP dot plot shows that 16 out of 18 participants expect to raise interest rates at least once during the year. The federal funds futures market has an 85% probability of at least one interest rate hike before December and a nearly 80% probability of at least two interest rate increases at the March 2027 meeting.

    Editorial Comment

    Waller's explanation of the basis for raising interest rates in September and the SEP dot plot show that most officials expect further interest rate increases during the year, indicating that policy communication still sends tight signals under a data-dependent framework. For the gold and foreign exchange markets, attention needs to be paid to whether market pricing and dot chart expectations continue to converge, and if labor and inflation data deviate from officials' assumptions, it may trigger a re-evaluation of the policy path.

    European Central Bank executive member Piero Cipollone was interviewed by Corriere della Sera about the progress of the digital euro

    Piero Cipollone, executive member of the European Central Bank, said in an interview with Corriere della Sera that the digital euro will supplement cash rather than replace it. The pilot project has been launched in the summer, and the first test will begin next year, and the first payment will be made in less than 12 months. He revealed that the EU legislative text is expected to be ready before the end of the year. The European Central Bank has selected 36 institutions from nearly 60 applications to participate in the pilot next year. He also said that the digital euro can provide merchants with public payment alternatives, and the cost of digital payment for small merchants may be halved.

    Editorial Comment

    The European Central Bank disclosed the details of the digital euro pilot and clarified its positioning as a supplement to cash, which will help alleviate market concerns about sovereign digital currencies replacing cash. For the euro, attention is paid to the potential support for European economic efficiency from the autonomy of payment infrastructure and merchant cost optimization, but the short-term direct impact on the gold and foreign exchange markets is expected to be limited.

    New York Fed survey's one-year inflation expectations rise to highest since May 2023

    The New York Fed's Consumer Expectations Survey showed that the median inflation expectation for the next 12 months rose to 3.9% in September, an increase of 0.3 percentage points from August, the highest since May 2023. Household spending growth expectations also rose to 5.5%, with the three-year outlook rising slightly to 3.3% and the five-year outlook remaining unchanged at 3%.

    Editorial Comment

    The New York Fed survey showed that one-year inflation expectations have increased significantly, and household spending expectations have risen simultaneously, which may strengthen the market's expectations for the Fed to continue its restrictive policies, put pressure on gold in terms of holding costs, and support the strength of the US dollar. Traders need to pay attention to whether this expectation is further reflected in interest rate market pricing, and pay attention to subsequent inflation data and verification of the stance of Federal Reserve officials.

    Fed meeting minutes showed officials expected to raise interest rates before the end of the year but gave no specific timetable

    The minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting showed that officials expected to raise interest rates again before the end of the year to deal with inflation that has been above the 2% target for more than five years, but did not give a specific time for raising interest rates. The September meeting unanimously voted to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, and 16 of the 18 officials who submitted forecasts expected another rate increase. However, recent inflation data have been lower than expected and many officials have stated that there is no need to rush into action. The possibility of raising interest rates in October has decreased; the next interest rate meeting is scheduled for October 28 and December 9.

    Editorial Comment

    The minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting confirmed that officials preferred to raise interest rates once before the end of the year but did not give a timetable. Coupled with recent lower-than-expected inflation, market expectations for actions at the October meeting may have cooled. For gold and the U.S. dollar, attention needs to be paid to the difference in expectations between the October 28 and December 9 meetings, as well as the pull on real interest rates from high yields and falling inflation.

    IMF President Georgieva: AI is both a hope for global growth and a risk for inflation and debt

    IMF President Georgieva said that while artificial intelligence has become a key driver of the relative economic strength of various countries, it also threatens growth through energy costs, public debt and financial stability channels. She pointed out that AI hardware and related technology products have accounted for more than one-tenth of the world's goods trade. If AI is done well, it can add up to 0.5 percentage points to global annual growth. However, global public debt is close to post-World War II highs and will soon exceed 100% of GDP. The AI ​​construction wave itself has an inflationary effect. If corporate profits fall short of expectations, the concentration of U.S. stock holdings may amplify disappointment into a broad impact.

    Editorial Comment

    The president of the IMF characterized the wave of AI construction as a variable that coexists with growth momentum, inflation, and debt risks. For the gold market, attention needs to be paid to the potential impact of inflationary stickiness brought about by energy cost channels and public debt approaching post-war highs on real interest rates and risk aversion. Foreign exchange traders should be wary of financial stability disruptions that may be caused by changes in AI-related trade shares and concentration of U.S. stock holdings, and pay attention to the transmission of risk appetite fluctuations to major currencies.

    The World Bank raises its growth forecast for East Asia and the Pacific to 4.5% and warns of AI concentration risks

    The World Bank raised its growth forecast for East Asia and the Pacific this year to 4.5%, 0.3 percentage points higher than its April forecast, and warned that reliance on AI-related exports makes the region vulnerable to a pullback in global technology spending. Vietnam has the largest increase to 7.4%; AI products account for more than half of export growth in most economies, exceeding 70% in Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The World Bank said that AI capital expenditure has reached about 6% of US GDP, similar to the peak of IT investment in 2000, and the transparency of private credit financing is low.

    Editorial Comment

    The World Bank has raised its growth forecast for the East Asia and Pacific region, which may support regional risk assets and related currencies in the short term. However, its warning on the concentration of AI exports means that growth in the region is highly sensitive to global technology spending. Traders need to pay attention to the transparency risks of AI capital expenditures and private credit financing. If there is an adjustment in the technology cycle, it may trigger changes in capital flows and indirectly affect the safe-haven demand for gold.

    Chart: Review of S&P 500 bucking trend and hitting new highs

    On Tuesday, the S&P 500 index hit 7844.52, a record intraday high, and closed above 7800 for the first time. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose above 5.3% the previous day, the highest since 2002; the Federal Reserve raised interest rates in mid-September and signaled continued tightening, and oil prices have exceeded $100 twice this year. This round of rebound is led by a small number of AI heavyweight stocks, with the Magnificent 7 accounting for more than 34% of the S&P 500 market value.

    Editorial Comment

    This background shows that the market still maintains strong risk appetite despite the dual headwinds of interest rates and oil prices, which usually means that the safe-haven appeal of gold is suppressed, while expectations that the Federal Reserve will continue to tighten may support the dollar. Traders need to pay attention to the concentration risk in U.S. stocks driven by a small number of AI heavyweights. If subsequent fluctuations occur, it may trigger a reallocation of risk aversion, thereby affecting the short-term trends of the gold and foreign exchange markets.

    The U.S. trade deficit hit $105.6 billion in August, the widest since before Trump’s tariffs last year

    The U.S. trade deficit expanded to US$105.6 billion in August, a month-on-month increase of 13.7%, and imports increased by 4.3%. That was above Dow Jones forecasts of $102 billion and the widest since a record deficit in March 2025. Goldman Sachs and the Atlanta Fed subsequently lowered their forecasts for U.S. economic growth in the third quarter.

    Editorial Comment

    The U.S. trade deficit has widened significantly and institutions such as Goldman Sachs have lowered their third-quarter GDP forecasts, indicating that the drag on growth from net exports is increasing, and the market's pricing of the U.S. economic resilience is facing re-examination. For gold, concerns about growth momentum and policy uncertainty may intensify its hedging concerns; in terms of foreign exchange, the US dollar's sensitivity to subsequent economic data and Fed policy expectations may further increase, which deserves traders' close tracking.

    The Executive Committee of the European Central Bank placed energy prices, long-term yields and AI effects in the same policy assessment framework, indicating that the subsequent interest rate path is more sensitive to changes in input costs and financial conditions. Traders need to pay attention to the European Central Bank's official statement on secondary inflation risks and fiscal expansion, which may affect the safe-haven pricing logic of the euro exchange rate and gold.

    Philip R. Lane on the diagnostic challenges of ECB monetary policy

    ECB Executive Member Philip R. Lane sorted out the diagnostic challenges of the euro area's monetary policy at the 2026 Monetary Policy Meeting, believing that the energy supply shock has entered the second wave and requires a multi-factor assessment combining fiscal stimulus, AI and financial conditions. He revealed that overall inflation in September was 3.8%, of which energy inflation was 18.8% and non-energy inflation was 2.3%; the policy interest rate had been raised to 2.50% in two rounds, in June and September. Lane reiterated that future rate decisions will be meeting-by-meeting and based on data, rather than pre-committing a path.

    Editorial Comment

    Lane included the second wave of energy supply shocks, fiscal stimulus, and AI in the same diagnostic framework, showing that the causes of inflation in the euro area are becoming more complex. After the policy rate was raised to 2.50%, it still emphasized data dependence, which will amplify the sensitivity of the euro to subsequent inflation and growth data. For the gold and foreign exchange markets, attention needs to be paid to the signs of transmission of energy prices to non-energy inflation, as well as the market's repricing of the ECB's tightening pace under the "meeting-by-meeting" stance.

    Federal Reserve Board Governor Jefferson talks about U.S. economy and monetary policy

    Fed Governor Jefferson said the U.S. economy may continue to show resilience and add employment, extending a six-and-a-half-year expansion, but inflation is too high and risks are tilted to the upside. He mentioned that PCE rose by 3.4% year-on-year in August, core inflation was more moderate, and the FOMC raised the federal funds rate target range by 25 basis points to 3-3/4% to 4% last month. Future policy adjustments will depend on data, outlook and the balance of risks.

    Editorial Comment

    The Fed governor's remarks highlighted that the risk of rising inflation remains at the core of policy, while the resilience of the job market provides room for continued tightening. For gold, the high inflation environment brings certain support, but uncertainty about the path of interest rates may amplify fluctuations. Traders need to focus on how subsequent PCE and employment data affect the balance of risks and tightening expectations.

    Fed finalizes new stress test rules to increase transparency and reduce volatility in capital requirements

    The Federal Reserve finalized two rules to strengthen stress test transparency and public accountability and reduce the volatility of stress test-related capital requirements. The rules require annual public consultation on test scenarios and major model changes, with the 2027 stress test adopting an updated model and applying two global market shocks to banks with large trading books. Starting from 2028, the stress capital buffer requirement will be the average of the results of the two most recent annual stress tests, and the year-on-year fluctuations in capital requirements are expected to be reduced by approximately 50%.

    Editorial Comment

    The Federal Reserve's increased transparency in stress tests and smoothing out fluctuations in capital requirements will help reduce banking regulatory uncertainty, which may in turn affect the market's assessment of the stability of the financial system and risk appetite. For foreign exchange and gold traders, this measure may indirectly affect the volatility environment of the U.S. dollar and gold by changing bank stock performance, U.S. dollar liquidity expectations, and overall risk aversion. It is worth paying attention to the guidance of subsequent specific model changes and the implementation of the two-year average mechanism on market risk pricing.
