Market News Summary
- Central banks in Korea and Madagascar are considering increasing gold reserves, highlighting continued global interest in precious metals as strategic assets.
- Gold prices fell but pared earlier losses, while silver and platinum rebounded from session lows, suggesting mixed momentum in precious metals markets.
- Bank of America analysts and the LBMA survey forecast potential upside and a possible rally towards $5,000 for gold over the next 12 months, despite short-term overbought signals.
- Gold’s recent selloff, combined with expectations of Fed rate cuts, is viewed by some as a possible opportunity, with buyers potentially positioned to benefit from lower prices.
- Ray Dalio warned of a growing AI-driven bubble in megacap tech, suggesting the rally may not reverse until the Fed tightens policy. Other commentary points to ongoing “AI-fueled” momentum in markets.
- The S&P 500 and U.S. indices set fresh record highs. The current rally is underpinned by the ‘Magnificent Seven’ and robust corporate earnings, with over 80% of reporting S&P 500 companies beating Wall Street estimates.
- A CNBC survey and additional commentary point to strong expectations that the Fed will continue to cut interest rates, possibly at upcoming meetings. There’s focus on Powell leaving open the door for December cuts.
- Fed Beige Book results and commentary signal a bifurcated economy with some recession-like characteristics, yet the overall equity market trends remain bullish.

- Macro signals remain mixed, with recessionary signs in some sectors even as stocks rally and consumer spending holds up among higher-income groups.
