According to CNBC, U.K. GDP grew 0.7% in the third quarter, matching economists’ estimates, and rose 1.9% year over year. Services output increased 0.9%, including 2.1% growth in information and communication, while production rose 0.1% and construction contracted 0.7%. The Office for National Statistics identified information and communication as a key growth driver, noting that many businesses reporting the largest turnover increases were involved in artificial intelligence and cloud computing, though it could not quantify their exact impact. GDP rose 0.2% month over month in September after no growth in August. The Bank of England raised interest rates last week, and markets were pricing in a 73% chance of another increase in December.

A hacker offered data allegedly belonging to TSMC employees for 3 bitcoin on an underground forum, claiming it contained 46,000 records totaling 6.9 GB and threatening to publish all of it if no buyer came forward within a week. According to Foresight News, citing Jiemian News, TSMC confirmed that information about some current and former employees had been disclosed without authorization. The company said the data matched information held in a cloud service provider's system, and that there was no evidence its own systems had been breached. TSMC said the information was unrelated to its production operations and customers. It has notified affected people and offered assistance, and is investigating with the cloud service provider, authorities and third-party cybersecurity firms.

Gold miners delivered strong second-quarter results despite a retreat in gold prices, rising costs and production disruptions. According to Sina Finance, World Gold Council-commissioned mining supply analyst Oliver Bragdon said the sector's performance remained robust by annual and historical measures, even as average all-in sustaining costs (AISC) rose 8% quarter over quarter and 22% year over year to a record $1,930 per ounce, marking the 29th consecutive year of annual increases. Sustaining capital expenditure became the main driver of higher AISC, climbing 34% sequentially and 25% year over year to a record $441 per ounce. Of the $139-per-ounce quarterly increase in AISC, about 80% came from higher sustaining capital expenditure, whose share of the cost structure rose from 18% in the first quarter of 2026 to 23%. The increase was concentrated at a small number of mines. In the Metals Focus mine-cost sample, output rose 1.6% quarter over quarter and average ore grades improved 1.4%; year over year, output fell 4.4% and grades declined 3.1%. On-site cash operating costs rose 6% sequentially and 18% year over year to $1,215 per ounce, while total cash costs increased 4% and 22%, respectively, to $1,406. Labor and fuel remained major cost pressures, and supply-chain bottlenecks affected the availability of key materials. Average royalty and production-tax costs fell 11% quarter over quarter to $185 per ounce but remained 53% higher year over year; their share of AISC declined from 11.6% in the first quarter to 9.6%. The average gold price fell 7.2% from the first quarter to $4,512 per ounce. Average AISC margins narrowed 16% to $2,582 per ounce, but were still 52% higher year over year and the second-highest in the sample. Bragden characterized the second quarter of 2026 as a return from exceptionally high margins to normal levels, not a collapse in cash flow. The average gold price in the third quarter of 2026 was $4,266 per ounce, down 5.5% sequentially; gold was around $4,040 per ounce at the time of writing. Bragden said margins could face further pressure for the rest of 2026 as costs rise and gold prices weaken. Looking to 2027, he said a recovery in gold prices could lift royalties, but the additional revenue would exceed the cost increase and support wider margins.

Cambridge Associates CEO David Druley warned investors against crowded trades in a November 12, 2026 interview on Bloomberg’s Horizon’s Middle East and Africa, according to Bloomberg. He said a shift from efficiency to self-sufficiency is reshaping global investment strategies. Roughly 10 stocks account for 35–40% of U.S. indexes, Druley said, with markets in other regions also highly concentrated. He said this makes diversification more critical. He expects only a temporary pause in U.S. AI and data center expansion, which he views as an opportunity for the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Druley said geopolitical constraints on U.S. investment in Chinese venture capital create opportunities for Middle Eastern and European investors. He also cited the growing sophistication of regional asset managers and said large family offices account for 40% of his firm’s business.
