BlockBeats news, on November 26, according to Bloomberg, S&P Global Ratings has downgraded Tether's USDT stablecoin's ability to maintain its peg to the USD to the lowest rating, warning that a fall in Bitcoin prices could lead to insufficient collateral for the stablecoin.

PANews, November 24 - The Office of the Special Task Force for Preventing and Combating Illegal Financial Activities in Shenzhen issued a risk alert titled "Beware of the Risks of Illegal Financial Activities in the Gold Trading Sector." It states that recently, with fluctuations in gold prices, some criminals and unscrupulous companies have been engaging in illegal activities under the guise of physical gold trading, such as "gold entrustment," "gold leasing," and "gold investment," which are suspected of illegal fundraising, fraud, gambling, and illegal operations. These activities disrupt the economic and financial order and seriously endanger the safety of public property. We urge the general public to remain vigilant, choose legitimate investment channels, and consciously resist phrases like "capital preservation and guaranteed returns," "gold leasing with high interest," "insider information with no losses," and "low thresholds, low investments, high returns" to avoid falling into traps of illegal financial activities in the gold investment sector.

According to a report by Jinse Finance, a research report from China International Capital Corporation indicates that, unlike the past three years, the current rise in precious metals is primarily driven by the cyclical demand for gold, while the price increase of silver has surpassed that of gold. Looking ahead to 2026, the firm believes that cyclical demand and structural trends are expected to continue driving the upward trend in gold and silver prices. In the benchmark scenario, the firm estimates that the COMEX gold price will rise to $4,500 per ounce by 2026, and the silver price will rise to $55 per ounce, indicating further upward potential compared to the current trend. The firm believes that the cyclical investment demand for precious metals has not yet reached its peak, as the U.S. monetary policy may shift to easing in the short term, and the long-term risk of inflation expectations becoming unanchored may persist. On the other hand, under the new macro order, the unique allocation value of physical gold and the strategic resource attributes of silver will become increasingly prominent, providing structural support for global central banks to buy gold, private physical investments, and regional stockpiling.

Gold Ten Data, November 12 — According to U.S. media reports, U.S. President Donald Trump has written to Israeli President Isaac Herzog, urging him to exercise his legal pardon authority for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. Although Trump previously called for Netanyahu’s pardon, including during a speech to the Israeli Knesset last month, this is the first known letter he has sent to Herzog on this matter. Retired Israeli law professor Frances Raday (who has litigated before the Israeli Supreme Court) stated, “This shows great disrespect for the Israeli judicial system.” Netanyahu, the country’s longest-serving leader, is expected to call elections next year. According to Israeli law, if a prime minister is convicted of crimes involving “moral turpitude” and all appeals are exhausted, his term will automatically end. The government will then become a caretaker government until a new government is sworn in.
