Gold price
Tracks a new gold rally in 2026: “Continues to benefit”

The gold rush will continue next year and the price of the precious metal will rise to 5,000 by the end of 2026, corresponding to an increase of 18 percent. This conclusion was drawn by 36 percent of respondents in a survey conducted by Goldman Sachs with over 900 investors, according to CNBC.

– Global economic developments continue to benefit gold, says Blue Line Futures chief strategist Phil Streible.

Airbus recall
Expert on Airbus solar bug: “It is very strange”

Airbus issued a comprehensive recall on Friday with the requirement that 6,000 aircraft of the A320 model undergo a software update before the next flight. Now the question is how it could happen, writes Bloomberg.

The problem is a bug that caused an aircraft – en route from Cancun to Newark – to suddenly nosedive at the end of October, due to solar radiation disrupting the control system.

The fact that in most cases it seems to be enough to roll back software is “very strange”, according to aviation expert Peter Lemme.

– It suggests that they released a software version that lacked sufficient protection and backup systems for solar radiation events, he tells the news agency.

Tesla's future
The two-year-old Cybertruck flops – sales plummet

The first deliveries of Tesla's Cybertruck were made two years ago, with the long-term goal of selling 250,000 vehicles a year. So far, the pickup truck has been a big flop, writes Market Watch.

In 2024, just under 39,000 vehicles were sold, according to figures from Cox Automotive. In 2025, 17,317 vehicles have been sold through October – a decline of over 40 percent compared to the same period last year.

Market Watch lists several possible explanations for the development, the main one being that the car is much more expensive than initially promised. The car's reputation has also been affected by recurring quality problems and recalls. Tesla is not alone – there are headwinds in the entire market for electric pickups.

– Electric vehicles in this class are a very niche market, says automotive analyst Karl Brauer. 

The gaming boom
Investors believe in gaming: “Always the right opportunity”

There has been a “sobering up” in the Swedish gaming sector after the strong growth that followed the pandemic. This is what investor Per-Arne Lundberg from Bonfire says in this week's episode of Ekonomibyrån on SVT.

At the same time, he says he is convinced that shares from the sector will do well on the stock market in the future.

– I think it is always the right time to invest in games, he says and continues:

– So a game that has innovative takes on existing genres, preferably from young indie companies. I always find that interesting.

The sector has had a rough time on the stock market this year. For example, Starbreeze has fallen 43 percent since the beginning of the year and Embracer 49 percent.
