    France's economic contraction coupled with debt concerns may drag down the euro zone's recovery

    The Eurozone's GDP growth in the third quarter of 2026 was 0.4% quarter-on-quarter, slowing down from 0.6% in the previous quarter, and France contracted by 0.1% in the same period. French public debt is close to 120% of GDP, and the budget deficit is expected to reach 5.4% of GDP in 2026. The 10-year government bond yield rose above 5.14% in October, the highest since 2002, and the interest rate gap between France and Germany has widened to the widest in 15 years. On October 30, Fitch lowered France's rating outlook from stable to negative, maintaining its A+ rating and predicting that the debt-to-GDP ratio will rise from 115.7% in 2025 to approximately 124% in 2028.

    Editorial Comment

    France's GDP contraction in the third quarter combined with high debt and deficit, the 10-year government bond yield exceeded 5.14%, the spread between France and Germany widened to the widest in 15 years, and Fitch Ratings lowered its outlook, indicating that the market is pricing in France's fiscal risks. This transmission path will weaken the recovery momentum of the euro area and make it more difficult for the European Central Bank to make policy trade-offs between stabilizing growth and controlling inflation. Follow-up attention needs to be paid to the progress of the French budget, the actions of rating agencies and the trend of the Franco-German spread. The spillover effects may indirectly affect the gold pricing environment through the euro exchange rate.

    The final value of the Eurozone manufacturing PMI fell to 52.7 in October, and the accelerated rise in input prices increased pressure on the European Central Bank.

    The final value of the euro zone's manufacturing PMI in October was 52.7, lower than the initial value of 52.4 and September's 52.9. The output index fell from 53.6 to 52.8, a four-month low. Manufacturing in France and Italy returned to contraction, with domestic political uncertainty in France the main drag. Input prices rose at the fastest pace since May and inflationary pressures rose for the second consecutive month, posing a problem for the European Central Bank's December decision.

    Editorial Comment

    The final value of the Eurozone manufacturing PMI in October was revised down and output hit a four-month low. France and Italy returned to contraction, indicating that recovery momentum is weakening. At the same time, input prices rose at the fastest rate since May, and inflationary pressures increased for the second consecutive month. The ECB's December decision faces a dilemma between growth and inflation. For traders, the focus is not on the absolute value of PMI, but on how the divergence between the price component and the growth component affects the market's pricing of the ECB's policy path, which is then transmitted to the euro and gold.

    Goldman Sachs raises December Brent forecast to $105 on Middle East and Russia supply risks

    Goldman Sachs raised its December Brent forecast from $90 to $105 and set its WTI forecast at $94, citing elevated supply disruption risks from the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The bank also lifted its 2027 average price forecasts for Brent and WTI to $88 and $78 respectively, and added an allowance of 1 million barrels per day of global supply disruption to its base case. Goldman said the market is pricing in a higher risk premium, with many traders seeing a durable diplomatic breakthrough as difficult to achieve.

    Editorial Comment

    By writing 1 million barrels per day of supply disruption into its base case, Goldman Sachs turns the oil risk premium from a tail assumption into a pricing premise. For gold, higher energy costs push up inflation expectations and make the path of real rates more uncertain, a transmission channel worth tracking closely. In FX, the differing energy import burdens across economies will keep shaping the relative strength of major currencies.

    RatingDog China Manufacturing PMI at 52.0 in October, Beats Expectations but Firms Cut Prices to Chase Orders

    RatingDog China General Manufacturing PMI was 52.0 in October, slightly below September's 52.1 and above market expectations of 51.6, remaining above 50 for the 11th consecutive month. Output growth was the fastest since April, while new orders increased for the 17th straight month, but export order growth slowed to a three-month low. Output prices fell for the second time in three months, and export charges declined for the first time in nearly a year, with firms attributing this to intense competition. The data contrasted with the official manufacturing PMI of 49.3 released on Saturday, while business confidence fell to a nine-month low.

    Editorial Comment

    The private-sector PMI beat expectations and stayed in expansionary territory, but it contrasted with the official PMI falling back below the boom-bust line, indicating that the manufacturing recovery is uneven. The slowdown in export orders coexists with firms cutting prices to chase orders, meaning resilience in external demand is being offset by price deflation pressure, and weakening business confidence warrants caution. Gold and forex markets should monitor how the divergence between the two sets of data affects China's growth expectations and sentiment toward related assets; a single month's data should not be interpreted linearly.

    Gold Rebounds to Near $3,900 Despite Inflation Concerns

    FXStreet reports that gold has rebounded to near $3,900 despite inflation concerns.

    Editorial Comment

    This price action indicates that inflation concerns have not hindered gold’s short-term rebound, and inflation alone cannot fully explain the current logic driving gold. Traders can continue to monitor changes in inflation-related expectations, observe how this factor’s effectiveness in driving gold prices evolves, and prudently assess the sustainability of this rally.

    Gold falls below $4,000 as inflationary pressures and expectations of U.S. interest rate hikes heat up

    Gold prices fell below $4,000 due to inflationary pressures and expectations of further U.S. interest rate hikes.

    Editorial Comment

    Inflationary pressure coupled with rising interest rate expectations is the direct trigger for the gold price to fall below US$4,000, reflecting that the market is re-evaluating the impact of the interest rate path on non-interest-bearing assets. For traders, the follow-up need to focus on the persistence of inflation data and whether Fed officials' statements will strengthen the signal of further tightening, which will determine whether gold's short-term pressure pattern can continue.

    U.S. GDP grew by 3.4% in the third quarter, exceeding expectations, driven by AI investment and consumption

    The U.S. Department of Commerce announced on October 29 that GDP growth in the third quarter was 3.4%, higher than the 3.2% expected by economists polled by Reuters. Consumer spending rose 3.8%, as corporate AI-related investments offset the impact of conflicts in the Middle East that pushed up oil prices. The Federal Reserve this week kept its benchmark interest rate at a range of 3.75%-4% and acknowledged that inflation remains high, and economists expect a rate hike in December.

    Same story, featured below《美国三季度GDP初值3.4%高于3.2%预期》

    Editorial Comment

    U.S. GDP in the third quarter exceeded expectations, and consumption and AI investment jointly supported growth. However, in contrast, household consumption confidence weakened, and the differentiation of the economic structure deserves attention. The Federal Reserve stayed on hold and admitted that inflation is still high, and market expectations for an interest rate hike in December have increased. This policy path will directly affect the pricing environment of the U.S. dollar and gold. Traders need to pay attention to whether subsequent inflation and consumption data can verify growth resilience.

    ECB keeps three key interest rates unchanged, Lagarde says energy shock is pushing up inflation and depressing growth

    The European Central Bank decided to keep its three key interest rates unchanged on October 29. Lagarde said that the continued rise in energy prices poses upward risks to inflation and downward risks to growth. The inflation rate rose to 3.8% in September, of which energy price inflation rose to 18.9%. She said she would stick to a data-dependent, meeting-by-meeting decision-making approach and would not commit to a specific interest rate path in advance.

    Gold may rebound in the short term as concerns about growth and US-Iran conflict recede, and focus turns to FOMC

    Giuseppe Dellamotta thinks gold may rebound in the short term as better-than-expected U.S. PMI eases growth concerns, worries about an Iran strike are dashed, and real yields fall. Gold is approaching the key support area of ​​3,885. If the price is in place, buyers may enter the market to rebound. If it falls below, it will look towards 3,500. The focus this week is Wednesday's FOMC decision, where the market is generally expected to keep the policy on hold and an unexpected interest rate hike will trigger a gold sell-off.

    Editorial Comment

    The author breaks down the short-term logic into two main lines: the fall in actual yields reduces the opportunity cost of gold holdings, while the disappearance of the risk premium in the Middle East takes away the previous safe-haven support. With the two hedging against each other, the gold price is more like oscillating within a range rather than choosing a direction unilaterally. The real pricing power this week falls on Wednesday's FOMC, where the consensus is to hold on unchanged. The risk point suggested by the author is that unexpected interest rate hikes may trigger selling pressure. For traders, rather than betting on direction in advance, it is better to track the effectiveness of key support areas and the actual market reaction once the resolution lands.

    Foreign exchange market outlook for the week from October 26th to 30th

    Preview of major central bank decisions for the week from October 26 to 30: The Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and Bank of Japan are expected to remain unchanged, while the Federal Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the Bank of Canada are expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points each. The United States will also release the core PCE price index and preliminary third-quarter GDP this week, and the market will focus on the resilience of inflation.

    Editorial Comment

    This week is a week of intensive central bank decisions. The Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan are expected to remain unchanged. If the Federal Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the Bank of Canada raise interest rates as expected, the policy differentiation pattern of developed economies will be further highlighted. The difference in interest rate expectations of related currencies deserves attention. In addition, the U.S. core PCE price index and the initial value of third-quarter GDP will test the resilience of inflation and directly affect the market’s pricing of the Fed’s policy path. Compared with the resolution itself, changes in the wording of central bank statements are often the key to triggering exchange rate fluctuations.

    Preview of this week's five major central bank interest rates: market pricing is sufficient, focus turns to December policy signals

    This week, RBNZ, BOC, the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan will announce intensive interest rate decisions, and the market has basically priced in. Traders are fully pricing in a 25 basis point rate hike for the RBNZ, about an 83% chance of a BOC rate hike, about a 91% chance of the Fed keeping rates on hold, a roughly 90% chance of the European Central Bank keeping interest rates on hold, and a roughly 98% chance of the Bank of Japan keeping rates on hold. Press conferences by central bank governors and chairs will be in focus as traders look for signals of further action in December.

    Editorial Comment

    This week's five major central bank decisions themselves have been fully priced in by the market, and the real variable lies in the wording of each governor's policy path in December. For gold, the marginal revision of real interest rates and US dollar expectations is more worthy of tracking than the resolution outcome itself; on the foreign exchange side, attention should be paid to whether the policy differences between RBNZ, BOC and the Federal Reserve continue to converge.

    Brazil ETF drops nearly 15% on Lula's victory

    Brazil ETFs fell nearly 15% in Tokyo trading as Lula won Brazil's presidential runoff. Goldman Sachs said that under extreme circumstances, the U.S. dollar may rise by 10% against the Brazilian real, the Brazilian stock market may fall by 15%, and long-term government bond yields may rise by about 200 basis points. Meanwhile, gold is near three-month lows, oil prices opened lower after not upgrading over the weekend, and the market is focused on central bank meetings such as the Federal Reserve this week.

    Editorial Comment

    The results of the Brazilian election triggered a sharp decline in Brazilian ETFs. The foreign exchange market needs to pay attention to the risk transmission of real-related currency pairs and the spillover effects of emerging market asset fluctuations on the US dollar. At the same time, with gold close to a three-month low, oil prices opening lower, and multiple central bank meetings this week, traders should focus on tracking the interactive impact of the subsequent performance of Brazilian assets and policy signals such as the Federal Reserve on safe-haven assets and currency market sensitivity.

    World gold prices continue to fall, hitting a three-month low

    The world gold spot price closed down US$28 on October 23 to US$3,994 per ounce, the lowest since mid-July, with a cumulative decline of 4% that week. Rising oil prices triggered concerns about inflation and reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain high interest rates, which was the main reason for the decline in gold prices. The Federal Reserve policy meeting next week is expected to keep interest rates unchanged, and the market is pricing in a 78% probability of raising interest rates in December.

    Editorial Comment

    The price of gold fell below a key psychological mark and hit a three-month low, reflecting that inflation concerns caused by rising oil prices are strengthening market expectations for the Federal Reserve to maintain high interest rates, thereby weakening the appeal of holding gold, a non-interest-bearing asset. If the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates unchanged but releases a hawkish signal at next week's meeting, it may further solidify expectations for a December interest rate hike. Traders need to pay attention to marginal changes in policy language and market interest rate pricing, which will be the core variable for short-term fluctuations in precious metals.

    The number of people filing for unemployment benefits in the United States fell to 194,000 last week, reflecting that the labor market remains resilient. This data may affect the market's pricing of the Fed's policy path, triggering fluctuations in the U.S. dollar and gold.

    U.S. initial jobless claims fall to 194,000, near lowest level since late 1960s

    The U.S. Department of Labor reported that initial jobless claims fell to a seasonally adjusted 194,000 in the week ended October 17, close to the 189,000 in the week ended July 18, the lowest level since the late 1960s. Non-farm employment increased by only 29,000 in September, with an average monthly increase of 69,000 in 2026. The unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, but the layoff rate fell to 1%. The market expects the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged in October and raise interest rates by 25 basis points in December.

    Editorial Comment

    The number of initial jobless claims is close to a historical low, but non-farm employment increased by only 29,000 and the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%. This differentiation makes the Fed's balance between inflation and employment more complicated. The market's expectations for a 25 basis point interest rate hike in December are in contrast to the weak employment data. Traders need to pay attention to subsequent statements by Federal Reserve officials on the resilience of the job market and the need to raise interest rates, which may increase the volatility of gold and the US dollar.

    British inflation rises to 3.5%, reinforcing expectations of interest rate hike

    UK CPI rose by 3.5% year-on-year in September, higher than the expected 3.4%, the highest in a year, reinforcing expectations for the central bank to raise interest rates. Fuel prices rose 29.8% year-on-year, the highest since August 2022. Net energy import dependence makes the UK vulnerable to external energy shocks.

    Editorial Comment

    Higher-than-expected inflation in the UK strengthens interest rate hike expectations, which means that the sensitivity of the pound and UK bond yields to the path of monetary policy has increased, and traders need to pay attention to the central bank's subsequent policy signals. The sharp rise in fuel prices highlights the external impact brought about by dependence on net energy imports. This cost-push inflation may intensify concerns about stagflation, creating a complex game between the safe-haven properties of gold and the suppression of expectations for interest rate hikes.

    The UK's September CPI report was released today, and the Bank of England's interest rate hike in November is almost fully priced.

    The UK September CPI report was released today, and the market has almost completely priced in the Bank of England to raise interest rates by 25 basis points in November. The market expects the overall CPI to rise by 3.4% year-on-year, and the core CPI to rise by 2.8%, both higher than the previous values. Traders price the probability of an interest rate hike in November at about 96%, and the probability of continuous interest rate hikes in December at about 61%; the author believes that hotter data may strengthen expectations for further tightening after November, while softer data may prompt traders to reduce some aggressive expectations.

    Editorial Comment

    The UK's September CPI data will verify the market's almost complete pricing of the Bank of England's interest rate hike in November. The market expects both overall and core inflation to be higher than the previous value. This means that if the data is higher than expected, it may strengthen expectations for further tightening after November. If the data is lower than expected, it may prompt traders to reduce some aggressive bets. For sterling and gold traders, the key is not the single rate hike itself, but how the data changes the market's marginal pricing of the policy path in December and beyond.
