哈萨克斯坦央行副行长：计划在中期内将储备中黄金的占比降至75%以下。

Asian chip stocks tumbled on Friday as a global tech rout hit the region, erasing more than $18bn from the wealth of 22 Asia-based billionaires among the world’s 500 richest (peak losses exceeded $21bn). SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son lost about $3.9bn, trimming his net worth to roughly $29bn. Founders tied to AI-centric firms — including Keyence’s Takemitsu Takizaki and ASE Technology Holding’s Zhang Qiansheng — each lost at least $1bn. Samsung Electronics shareholder Lee Jae-yong and his family saw about $2.5bn wiped off their wealth. Companies at the core of the AI boom were hardest hit.

Chile annual CPI accelerated to 4.5% YoY in October, matching the highest since April 2025 and slightly below the Bloomberg median of 4.6%. CPI rose 0.5% MoM. Transport costs were up 2% MoM, energy +2.7% MoM, food and non‑alcoholic beverages +1%; clothing fell 4.1% MoM, according to the National Statistics Institute. The Central Bank of Chile has kept its policy rate at 4.5% year‑to‑date, but officials have discussed possible rate hikes as the Middle East conflict and extreme weather add upward price pressure, raising the prospect of a policy shift.
