On Wednesday, $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ fell below the $4,000/oz level for the first time since November 2025. From the record high of $5,594 reached in January, gold has now fallen nearly 29%.

First, the bad news for the home crowd. No Southeast Asian team made it this time. Indonesia got the closest it ever has in qualifying and still came up short, and Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore never got near. Asia's flag is carried by 9 AFC teams instead: Japan, South Korea, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Australia, plus first-timers Jordan and Uzbekistan. So for most of us, this one's about picking a side on vibes, not passports.

SpaceX generated roughly $18.7 billion in revenue in 2025. At a $1.77 trillion valuation, that implies a staggering 94x price-to-sales ratio. If the stock quickly reaches a $2 trillion valuation, that multiple rises to 107x sales.
