Keywords: Power supply delay, chip financing, AI correction
1. On October 9, 2026, Oracle considered trucking in natural gas as a substitute for delayed pipeline supply to power its New Mexico data center, reflecting uncertainty in project energy support and construction progress.
2. From October 7 to 8, 2026, Oracle was reported to be in talks with Apollo and Goldman Sachs to finance the procurement of AI chips through an independent entity; as of August 2026, the company's total debt had risen to about $169.1 billion, with quarterly capital expenditures around $28.5 billion, leading to a reassessment of financing and cash flow pressures.
3. Between October 8 and 9, 2026, the US AI sector saw a correction. Meanwhile, OpenAI's annualized revenue was approximately $5 billion, lower than the previously disclosed $7 billion, diminishing expectations for AI infrastructure demand and putting pressure on Oracle's share price.

Spot gold: Range-bound fluctuations, sell on rallies, buy on dips
Reason for analysis: Spot gold rebounded near a two-month low, but the Federal Reserve meeting minutes show that most officials believe it may continue to raise interest rates this year.

Analysts at ANZ Bank stated in a research report that rising energy prices and an overnight sell-off in the Nasdaq, which is dominated by tech stocks, have dampened investors’ risk appetite. However, copper prices remain near historic highs, supported by constrained supply. The analysts noted that workers at the Centinela copper mine in Chile are on strike, exacerbating supply limitations. They also indicated that market sentiment has turned relatively optimistic as Chinese traders return after a week-long holiday, providing some support for copper prices.
