Gold hits ten-day highs above $4,050
Gold climbs above $4,050 to a ten-day high as uncertainty over the prolonged US government shutdown, soft economic data, and a weaker dollar drive renewed safe-haven demand.
Gold extended rebound in Asian trading on Monday, briefly crossing the $4,050 psychological mark to touch a ten-day high. The yellow metal’s momentum comes as traders await clarity on the resolution of the record US government shutdown, which has heightened concerns over the broader US economy.
While gold consolidates its recent gains, risk sentiment has seen a mild improvement amid optimism about the US government reopening and China’s move to temporarily suspend its export ban on certain dual-use materials, including gallium, germanium, and antimony.
However, investors remain cautious as the amended US spending package still requires approval from the House of Representatives before reaching President Donald Trump for signing — a process that could take several days. This uncertainty, coupled with persistent economic worries stemming from the prolonged shutdown, continues to lend support to gold as a traditional safe-haven asset.
A weakened US dollar and worries over a protracted US government shutdown continue to bolster the precious metal, increasing demand for safe-haven assets. Indeed, according to the Congressional Budget Office, which is impartial, the government shutdown could reduce GDP by 1 – 2% in the fourth quarter.
As U.S. data revealed a spike in October layoffs, traders also boosted their bets on a December rate decrease, they are now putting in a 67% possibility. The government and retail sectors experienced employment losses in October, and enterprises’ use of artificial intelligence and cost-cutting measures resulted in a spike in announced layoffs. According to private data released on Thursday, cost-cutting and the deployment of AI were the main causes of the US economy’s October job loss of 153,000, the most in 22 years.

All That Glitters: The Jewellery Moments Everyone Talked About at the 2026 Golden Globes
From archival diamonds to playful brooches, Hollywood’s biggest night sparkled with fearless jewellery statements
The 2026 Golden Globes didn’t just celebrate cinematic brilliance—it redefined red-carpet glamour. Set against a newly designed red carpet at the Beverly Hills Hotel, the evening shimmered beneath four magnificent Swarovski crystal chandeliers, casting a radiant glow on Hollywood’s finest. But the true spectacle lay in the extraordinary jewellery moments that unfolded as stars stepped into the spotlight.
Teyana Taylor delivered one of the night’s most talked-about looks, pairing her Best Supporting Actress win for One Battle After Another with striking 1940s Tiffany & Co. earrings. The archival diamonds perfectly offset the playful audacity of her custom Schiaparelli gown, proving once again that classic jewels and modern fashion can collide spectacularly.
Zoë Kravitz championed the romantic return of the hair pin, wearing a bespoke creation by Jessica McCormack that felt both intimate and effortlessly chic. Meanwhile, Charli xcx leaned fully into Old Hollywood glamour, completing her custom Saint Laurent ensemble with cascading De Beers diamond strands that echoed timeless screen sirens.
Men’s jewellery continued its powerful rise on the Golden Globes carpet. Colman Domingo stood out with an elegant suite of Boucheron diamonds, styled as ivy-like tendrils flowing over his custom black Valentino tuxedo—an artful blend of couture and craftsmanship. Paul Mescal reaffirmed his love for refined accessories with a Cartier tie pin, while Connor Storrie brought playful elegance with Tiffany & Co.’s iconic Bird on a Rock brooch.
One of the most imaginative jewellery moments belonged to Wicked director Jon M. Chu, who wore two beaded figurative brooches depicting his co-stars and fellow nominees Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Designed by Italy-based embroidery artist Nerd Bead—discovered by Chu on Instagram—the pieces added personality, storytelling and warmth to the red carpet.
Elsewhere, Emily Blunt sparkled in Tiffany & Co., Priyanka Chopra Jonas turned heads in Bulgari, Hailee Steinfeld chose the architectural elegance of Repossi, Claire Danes glowed in Pomellato, Natasha Lyonne dazzled in Chopard, Jennifer Lawrence opted for Swarovski, and Timothée Chalamet continued his refined jewellery streak with Cartier.
At the 2026 Golden Globes, jewellery wasn’t merely an accessory—it was a statement of individuality, creativity and evolving red-carpet expression. From archival diamonds to bold brooches, the night served as a brilliant reminder that fine jewellery remains one of Hollywood’s most powerful storytelling tools
