    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    European Central Bank Executive Member Philip R. Lane interviews Ansa about energy shocks, interest rates and the impact of AI

    European Central Bank executive member Philip R. Lane said in an interview with Ansa that energy prices are higher than the baseline scenario but the second-round inflation pass-through effect has not been strong so far, and the rise in long-term yields will be included in the monetary policy review. He also believes AI is driving a rebound in global trade and euro zone investment, and cautions that broad-based fiscal expansion will not help inflation return to the 2% target in time.

    Editorial Comment

    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.
