Yemen's information minister said two missiles fired by Houthi forces landed near an IDP camp in Aden's al-Salakhidin area, calling the strikes a serious violation of international law.

Houthi forces said the Saudi-led coalition carried out 56 air and missile strikes on civilian targets in Yemen's Hajjah, Lahij, Amran, Saada, Al Jawf, Taiz and Ibb provinces in the past 24 hours.

Spot gold briefly fell below $4,000/oz in Asian trade on Oct. 23 — the first time since July — and is down more than 3% this week. Wang Jun, chief analyst at Green Dahua Futures, cites three market-moving drivers: (1) high oil prices — Brent topped $114/bbl, reinforcing global and US inflation persistence; (2) firmer Fed December rate-hike expectations, with elevated US inflation lifting the dollar and US Treasury yields and eroding gold’s appeal (Wang calls this the main driver); and (3) global liquidity tightening and deleveraging. He expects international gold to remain under pressure into late October and early November.
