Netflix Q3 Earnings Preview: Can Ad Growth Take the Baton and Fuel the Next Leg Higher?
Netflix (NFLX) will report its Q3 2026 results after the US market closes on October 20. The market expects revenue of $12.876 billion, up approximately 11.9% year on year, and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.831. Notably, the Q3 guidance issued by management in July was already below Wall Street expectations at the time. This means the bar for the company’s quarterly results has been lowered.
Gold Outlook: Treasury Yields Pull Back From Highs, Fueling a Bounce — September CPI Is a Key Test
Gold has bounced off a two-month low, though the short-term technical picture hasn’t fully turned around. Whether Treasury yields keep falling, whether September CPI eases pressure for a rate hike, and how the U.S.-Iran situation develops could together shape gold’s next move.
Gold Outlook: Soft Payrolls Can't Offset Yield Pressure — Can the FOMC Minutes Free Up the Bulls?
A sharp payrolls miss sent October rate-hike odds tumbling, yet gold slid to a near two-month low.
Gold Outlook: A V-Shaped Bounce Defies the Hikes — Rates and Geopolitics Still Call the Shots
Gold staged a V-shaped recovery after both the Fed and the Bank of Japan raised rates by 25 basis points. This week, markets will be watching Fed speakers, the U.S.-China summit, and developments in the Middle East, with rate expectations, the dollar, and geopolitical risk all likely to continue shaping gold's direction.
Gold Outlook: A September Hike Is Priced In — Forward Guidance Is What Matters Now
Gold remains stuck between $4,300 and $4,400, buffeted by geopolitical headlines and shifting rate-hike expectations. A September hike is now largely priced in, which means what gold is really waiting on is how the Fed frames its policy path from here. If odds of an October hike build, gold could face further pressure; if markets read this as a "one-and-done" move followed by a pause, a rebound window could open up.

Gold Outlook: Price Clears $4,600 — Geopolitics, PCE, and Warsh's Speech in Focus
Gold surged 5.2% last week, clearing $4,600 and hitting a three-month high. The U.S. Treasury's expansion of medium- and long-term bond buybacks, combined with a weaker dollar and growing concerns about U.S. fiscal discipline, drove gold through resistance that had held for several months. This week, geopolitical developments, July PCE, and Warsh's address at Jackson Hole are the three key variables that will determine whether the rally can hold.
Anthropic's IPO Looms: Can a $2 Trillion Valuation Survive the Profitability Test?
Anthropic's IPO is entering its countdown phase and could become a key litmus test for AI sector valuations. Can rapid growth and a single quarter of profitability offset sky-high compute costs? Q3 and Q4 earnings performance will be the key to validating the $2 trillion price tag.
Gold Outlook: Bulls Target $4,400 Again — Jackson Hole Is the Real Test
Gold rose for a second consecutive week, with cooling inflation and central bank buying continuing to provide support — but geopolitical turbulence kept $4,400–$4,450 firmly in play as a key resistance zone. As September rate-hike expectations ease, market attention is shifting to the FOMC minutes and the Jackson Hole symposium, where Warsh's policy remarks could prove pivotal for gold's next move.
Alibaba Q1 FY27 Earnings Preview: Wall Street Is Overwhelmingly Bullish — Now AI and Cloud Have to Prove It
The market expects Alibaba's profitability to come under clear pressure this quarter, even as analyst ratings lean almost unanimously bullish. With the stock having rallied sharply in recent months, the real focus for traders isn't this quarter's numbers — it's whether AI and cloud can start turning heavy capex into growth the market can actually verify.
Gold Outlook: Bulls Break the Stalemate — CPI To Decide Whether the Rally Has Legs
Gold has broken out of a six-week range and cleared $4,300. Easing geopolitical tensions have taken some of the heat out of inflation fears, while a weak jobs report has further dented September rate-hike expectations — leaving gold's bullish momentum noticeably stronger. This week's July CPI will be the key test, and could determine whether the rally has room to run.
