class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Nvidia (<a href=\"\/stock\/NVDA\">NVDA<\/a>) reported record Q3 FY2026 revenue of $57.0 billion, driven by robust demand for its Blackwell AI chips, with CEO Jensen Huang affirming &quot;very, very strong&quot; business conditions and secure supply.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Japan experienced a significant surge in foreign investment, with foreign buying of Japanese bonds reaching \u00a5961.6 billion and Japanese stocks hitting \u00a51,020.9 billion for the week ending November 14.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/gold-price.aspx\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"gold price today\">Gold prices<\/a> remain firm, trading above $4,000 per ounce, nearing its best year since 1979, fueled by heavy central bank buying and a notable correlation with the AI-led equity rally.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The U.S. is reportedly pushing a new 28-point Ukraine peace plan, secretly drafted with Russia, which may involve Kyiv ceding territory and reducing its military size.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Lenovo (<a href=\"\/stock\/LNVGY\">LNVGY<\/a>) exceeded Q2 revenue estimates, posting $20.45 billion in revenue and $340 million in net income, while Australia and Turkey reached a compromise on the COP31 climate conference presidency.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nvidias_AI_Dominance_Fuels_Record_Earnings\"><\/span>Nvidia&#39;s AI Dominance Fuels Record Earnings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nvidia (<a href=\"\/stock\/NVDA\">NVDA<\/a>) continues to demonstrate exceptional financial performance, reporting record third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of <strong>$57.0 billion<\/strong>, a 62% increase year-over-year. The company&#39;s crucial Data Center segment was a primary driver, achieving <strong>$51.2 billion<\/strong> in revenue, up 66% from a year ago. CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the &quot;very, very strong&quot; business conditions and confirmed ample supply of their next-generation Blackwell chips, crediting manufacturing partner TSMC for their support in wafer production.<\/p>\n<p>Despite geopolitical tensions, Huang stated there are currently &quot;no active discussions&quot; to sell Blackwell chips to China due to U.S. export restrictions. This highlights the ongoing impact of U.S. policy on global semiconductor trade, even as Nvidia secures long-term price agreements with memory suppliers amid global shortages.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Japan_Sees_Robust_Foreign_Capital_Inflows\"><\/span>Japan Sees Robust Foreign Capital Inflows<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For the week ending November 14, Japan witnessed a substantial increase in foreign investment. Foreign investors significantly boosted their holdings of Japanese bonds, with buying reaching <strong>\u00a5961.6 billion<\/strong>, a sharp rise from the previous week&#39;s \u00a591.5 billion. Similarly, foreign buying of Japanese stocks surged to <strong>\u00a51,020.9 billion<\/strong>, reversing the previous week&#39;s net outflow of \u00a5\u2013347.3 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, Japanese investors reduced their acquisition of foreign bonds, which fell to <strong>\u00a5348.4 billion<\/strong> from \u00a5566.3 billion, and increased their buying of foreign stocks to <strong>\u00a5183.3 billion<\/strong> from a prior net selling of \u00a5\u2013439.5 billion. These figures indicate a strong renewed interest from international investors in Japanese assets.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gold_Maintains_Strong_Performance_Amid_Central_Bank_Demand\"><\/span>Gold Maintains Strong Performance Amid Central Bank Demand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Gold prices are holding firm, trading above <strong>$4,000 per ounce<\/strong> and nearing its best year since 1979. This robust performance is largely attributed to heavy central bank buying, with institutions accumulating over 1,000 tonnes of gold annually since 2022. Analysts at Goldman Sachs project gold could reach <strong>$4,900 per ounce by the end of 2026<\/strong>, driven by ongoing diversification away from the U.S. dollar, strong safe-haven flows, and an unusual 0.9 correlation with the AI-led equity rally.<\/p>\n<p>The consistent central bank demand, particularly from emerging markets, signifies a structural shift in global monetary architecture, reinforcing gold&#39;s role as a critical asset in diversified portfolios.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Geopolitical_Developments_Ukraine_Peace_Plan_and_COP31_Resolution\"><\/span>Geopolitical Developments: Ukraine Peace Plan and COP31 Resolution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In a significant geopolitical development, the U.S. is reportedly advancing a new 28-point peace plan for Ukraine, drafted in secret discussions with Russia. Inspired by former President <a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/live\/trump-stock-market\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Trump\">Trump<\/a>&#39;s Gaza ceasefire deal, the proposal is said to involve Kyiv ceding territory and drastically reducing its military size. <a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/live\/trump-stock-market\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Trump\">Trump<\/a>&#39;s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, has engaged with both Russian and Ukrainian officials on the framework, which covers peace in Ukraine, security guarantees, European security, and future U.S.-Russia relations.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a diplomatic standoff over the hosting of the COP31 climate conference has been resolved. Australia will serve as the COP President for negotiations, while Turkey will host the event in Antalya in November 2026. A pre-COP meeting focused on climate financing is also planned for the Pacific region.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lenovo_Exceeds_Expectations_Trump_Considers_New_AI_Order\"><\/span>Lenovo Exceeds Expectations, Trump Considers New AI Order<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Lenovo Group (<a href=\"\/stock\/LNVGY\">LNVGY<\/a>) reported strong second-quarter results, with net income reaching <strong>$340 million<\/strong> on revenue of <strong>$20.45 billion<\/strong>. This revenue figure surpassed analyst estimates of $20.01 billion. The company also declared an interim dividend of HK$0.085 per share.<\/p>\n<p>In U.S. policy news, former President Trump is reportedly considering signing a new executive order on Artificial Intelligence as soon as Friday. This follows previous orders in January and July 2025, which aimed to bolster U.S. leadership in AI, promote unbiased AI development, and streamline data center infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Nvidia (NVDA) reported record Q3 FY2026 revenue of $57.0 billion, driven by robust demand for its Blackwell AI
