Daybreak Weekend: US Bank Earnings, New Energy Summit, Gold’s Future

TSMC is poised to release its Q3 earnings report next week. The company is likely to excel, with both revenue and gross margins expected to defeat consensus supported by strong July-August sales data. TSMC is due to release its September sales data and the figures could offer some insight into wider semiconductor demand. We turn to Debby Wu, Team Leader for North Asia Technology at Bloomberg News.
 
Plus, US stocks closed at a record on Wednesday, thanks to shares benefiting from the artificial-intelligence boom as traders parsed minutes from the Federal Reserve’s September meeting that showed a willingness to lower interest rates further this year. For more, we turn to Chuck Lieberman, Co-Founder & Chief Investment Officer at Advisors Capital Management.

TSMC Earnings Preview, Stocks Set Fresh Record on AI

Spot gold prices climbed above $4,000 an ounce for the first time, as concerns over the US economy and a government shutdown added fresh momentum to a scorching rally. Bullion climbed as much as 0.4% to $4,001.01 an ounce on Wednesday. It’s a milestone moment for the metal that traded below $2,000 just two years ago, with returns that now well outstrip those for equities this century. Gold has jumped more than 50% this year in the face of uncertainties over global trade, the Federal Reserve’s independence and fiscal stability in the US. At the same time, geopolitical tensions have boosted demand for haven assets, while central banks have continued to buy gold at an elevated pace. For more, we spoke to by Bill Adams, Chief Economist at Comerica Bank.
 
Plus, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda will likely face a tougher political environment in the second half of his five-year term starting Thursday after the ruling party leadership victory of Sanae Takaichi, a critic of interest rate increases. Ueda already faces a dilemma. The central bank appeared to be laying the groundwork for its first interest rate hike since January later this month. Now, following Takaichi's win, if Ueda goes ahead with an increase he risks antagonizing a premier who might then seek more sway over the BOJ's decisions going forward. For more, we spoke to Bloomberg's Paul Jackson.

Gold Hits $4000, BOJ Rate Hike Dilemma After Takaichi Win

A rally in chipmakers sent stocks to all-time highs as Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s deal with OpenAI added fuel to the artificial-intelligence frenzy that has powered Wall Street. Bonds fell. The dollar rose. OpenAI will deploy 6 gigawatts' worth of AMD graphics processing units over multiple years, according to the pact, which is just over half the size of an agreement the AI startup recently reached with Nvidia. It also sets the stage for OpenAI to acquire a large stake in the chipmaker. The deal represents a high-stakes test for AMD — one that could deliver tens of billions of dollars in new revenue and burnish its status as a serious contender in AI technology. There are also risks: It further ties AMD's prosperity to an AI market that some worry is in a bubble. For more on the markets, we turn to Ed Butowsky, managing partner of Chapwood Investments.
 
We turn to Japan, where they are set to have its first ever woman leader in Sanae Takaichi. Takaichi wants to become the country's version of her Idol, Margaret Tatcher. However, Bloomberg Opinion Columnist Gearoid Reidy writes that some might fear that she might be another Liz Truss. He joins us to explain.

AMD-OpenAI Deal Sparks Rally in Equities

Japanese stocks rallied and the yen weakened after a ruling-party vote positioned pro-stimulus lawmaker Sanae Takaichi to become Japan's next leader. Takaichi is set to become Japan's first female prime minister after winning the Liberal Democratic Party leadership contest Saturday. Investors had expected the seat to go to political scion Shinjiro Koizumi, who was seen as taking a more fiscally cautious view and leaving the Bank of Japan to press ahead with normalization. While Takaichi's appointment has lifted growth expectations, it has also raised concern over increasing bond supply while reducing chances of a BOJ rate hike this month. 
 
Elsewhere, gold advanced above $3,900 an ounce to yet another record, extending a rally that's been a feature of commodity markets all year. Bitcoin also set another all-time high over the weekend. Oil advanced after OPEC+ agreed Sunday to revive just 137,000 barrels a day of halted supply — a slower pace than earlier this year. Equity-index futures for the US also rose in early Asian trading. For more, we turn to Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets.
 
And for more reaction on Sanae Takaichi's win, we hard from Christopher LaFleur, Chairman at the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan. He spoke to Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on the Asia Trade.

Daybreak Weekend: Pfizer Deal, Nobel Peace, Golden Week

In the US, stocks just notched record highs thanks to the tech rally. That is despite an ongoing government shutdown. Meantime, emerging markets are facing challenges from political risks in South America to Asia's slowdown under tariffs. For more insights, we turn to Jeff Grills – Head of EM Debt at Aegon Asset Management.
 
We go to Japan, where the country will get its second prime minister in just over a year when the ruling Liberal Democratic Party holds a leadership election this weekend. The new leader will replace outgoing Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who was forced to resign after a historic upper house election loss in July. For more, we heard from David Boling, Eurasia Group Director for Japan and Asian Trade. Boling spoke to Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on the Asia Trade.

Emerging Markets in Focus, Japan Leadership Race

US stocks ended Wednesday's session higher, notching a new record and seemingly shrugging off the first government shutdown in nearly seven years. Treasuries rallied after private payrolls data reinforced bets that the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates later this month. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 rose for a fourth consecutive session. We spoke to John Pantekidis, Managing Partner at TwinFocus.

Plus - Asian equities gained at the open after global stocks rallied to a new all-time high, shrugging off the first US government shutdown in nearly seven years. Stocks in Japan, South Korea and Australia all rose with gains in chips and technology stocks the most notable. We spoke to Ritesh Ganeriwal, Head of Investment & Advisory at Syfe.

Asia Equities Gains as Traders Shrug Off US Shutdown

The US government hurtled toward a Wednesday shutdown as Democrats blocked a Republican stopgap funding package that didn't address their demands, the latest sign that neither party was likely to fold in the final hours before a federal funding deadline. With no more votes planned in the Senate before a midnight deadline, the White House's Office of Management and Budget instructed government agencies to "execute their plans for an orderly shutdown." Despite the risk of a shutdown, US equities notched a second straight quarter of gains. We spoke to is Viraj Patel, Executive VP & Head of Asset Allocation at Fiduciary Trust International.

Plus - China's Golden Week starts, with all eyes on consumption over the holiday. Millions are set to travel, shop, and dine during that time period. Their spending data will offer clues on whether deflationary pressures are easing and if policy support is translating into real economic activity. To encourage consumption, city governments are issuing coupons largely targeting autos, dining and tourism, while the central government released service-industry stimulus measures, including extended museum hours and more sports events. For more, we spoke to Catherine Lim, Senior Analyst: Consumer and Technology for Bloomberg Intelligence.

US Government Nears Shutdown, China Golden Week Begins

Stocks posted modest gains on Monday as concerns mounted about a looming US government shutdown possibly delaying the release of key labor-market data that could provide clues about how fast the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates. Vice President JD Vance said he believes the US government is on track to shut down, seeking to pin the blame on Democrats one day before federal funding is set to lapse. "I think we're headed into a shutdown because the Democrats won't do the right thing," Vance said Monday following a meeting with congressional leaders at the White House. "I hope they change their mind, but we're going to see." For more, we turn to Bill Campbell – Global Bond Portfolio Manager at DoubleLine.
 
And President Donald Trump's new plan to end the Gaza war is, in essence, an ultimatum to Hamas to release hostages, give up arms and surrender — or face the full force of the Israeli military with the US's explicit blessing. Trump said Israel would have his "full backing to finish the job" if Hamas rejects the offer, and Israeli troops and tanks are now in the heart of Gaza City, from which 800,000 Palestinians have fled. In that sense, the offer is familiar — and it is one that Hamas has repeatedly rejected over the course of the war. We heard from Kirstin Fontenrose, President of President of Red Six International. She spoke to Bloomberg's Avril Hong and Shery Ahn on the Asia Trade.

Traders Weigh US Shutdown Risks, Gaza Peace Proposal

Wall Street closed out the highly anticipated Federal Reserve week with stocks notching fresh all-time highs as prospects for more rate cuts bolstered the outlook for corporate earnings. US President Donald Trump said Friday that he would meet Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and hailed progress toward finalizing a deal over TikTok, after a highly anticipated call on Friday. The in-person meeting would be the first between the leaders of the world's two largest economies since the US president returned to office, and settles an extended back-and-forth between Washington and Beijing around the venue and timing. The APEC summit is slated to be held in South Korea next month. We get perspective from Patrick Kennedy, Managing Partner at AllSource Investment Management.

Meantime, Asian shares edged higher at the open, led by Japan, after the central bank eased concerns over plans to offload its massive exchange-traded fund holdings. The Nikkei-225 Index jumped 1.3% as trading kicked off in a new week, bouncing back after the Bank of Japan's comments on ETF sales spooked the markets Friday. Shares in Australia and South Korea also rose at the open. We get more on the markets from Alicia Garcia Herrero, Chief APAC Economist at Natixis. She speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.
