Analysis: Iran warns it will expand strikes on civilian targets in the Gulf region if the US and Israel resume airstrikes.
According to a Wall Street Journal analysis, Iran's message is very clear: if the United States and Israel restart aerial military operations, Tehran will launch a counterattack, with targets including not only U.S. military bases and warships, but also airports, oil pipelines, and other civilian targets in countries around the Persian Gulf. Iran issued these warnings through public statements and private diplomatic communications, clearly intending to use tough rhetoric to deter any potential attack. But these warnings also show that Iran does indeed have the capability to pose a threat. Iran still possesses a large inventory of missiles and drones, as well as the ability to use these weapons to launch attacks. Analysts estimate that Iran has hundreds to thousands of ballistic missiles. U.S. and regional officials believe that Iran has used stockpiled components to resume small-scale ballistic missile production in underground facilities. At the same time, the stockpiles of air defense interceptors used by U.S. and Arab state forces to intercept incoming attacks have been declining, and Israel's interceptor reserves are also under pressure.

New Zealand inflation faces a rebound, and economists expect a rate hike next week.
CoinWorld news: New Zealand faces a rebound in inflation, and economists expect a rate hike next week. Economists say the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will need to raise interest rates significantly if it is to bring inflation under control, even if that means acting just 10 days before the general election. Although New Zealand's third-quarter inflation rate edged lower, many analysts expect it to accelerate above 4% in the fourth quarter and to remain above the RBNZ's 1% to 3% target range for longer than the central bank previously forecast. Rising fuel prices and a weaker New Zealand dollar are the main factors driving inflation higher. Most economists believe the RBNZ will need to raise the official cash rate (OCR) to 3% next Wednesday. Smith, a senior economist at ASB Bank in Auckland, said persistently high inflation is a major challenge. He expects inflation to remain above 3% until the fourth quarter of 2027, and predicts the RBNZ will raise rates on October 28.
Star Xu: Exchanges should profit from technology and services, not from customer funds.
CoinWorld news: OKX founder and CEO Star Xu said in an interview on the New Era Finance Podcast that exchanges should rely on technology and services to make a profit, not on customer funds.

At the same time, he rejected requests from other prime brokers for credit lines and delayed liquidation. He emphasized that even as assets under the platform's management grow rapidly, safeguarding the security of customer funds remains the most important principle for navigating industry cycles.
Analysts: Two major bearish factors drive gold and silver prices down
According to news from Bijie, the precious metals sector has recently declined across the board, and short-term marginal changes in the U.S. dollar index and U.S. Treasury yields will dominate the price trend of precious metals. Huishang Futures analysis pointed out that the core drivers of this round of correction in the precious metals sector are rising expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes and concentrated deleveraging by long positions. The market is repricing "higher interest rates for longer," and the rising holding cost of precious metals as non-interest-bearing assets constitutes a common bearish factor. In addition, the geopolitical risk premium from earlier periods is gradually fading, and weakening expectations for industrial demand have further amplified the decline in silver prices. Jinrui Futures believes that the reversal in the macroeconomic interest rate environment and trading-driven deleveraging are the main reasons for this round of deep declines in precious metals prices. Overall, there is still room for a technical rebound in precious metals prices, but whether the rally can be sustained depends on the subsequent trajectory of U.S. Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar index.

Polymarket: 76% probability the Fed raises rates in 2026

Japan's September inflation exceeded the central bank's target level, supporting expectations of an interest rate hike.
Data released by the Japanese government on Friday showed that the core CPI, which excludes fresh food, rose 2.1% year-on-year in September, higher than the 1.7% increase in August. This result may further strengthen market expectations that the Bank of Japan will tighten monetary policy in December, when the BOJ may raise interest rates again by 25 basis points, bringing the benchmark rate up to 1.5%. The market widely expects that the BOJ's policy board will keep interest rates unchanged at its meeting next week in order to assess the impact of previous rate hikes. The continued weakness of the yen and rising international oil prices are pushing up the cost of Japan's imported raw materials, keeping upward pressure on the country's consumer prices. As Japan's underlying inflation rate is now very close to the central bank's 2% target, BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda said the central bank must pay more attention to upside risks to inflation.
