Permanent topic: Money & Markets. Dario Fontaine covers Money & Markets permanently — once a columnist starts on a topic, it stays theirs for good; the topic never changes. Daily cadence: a new article on this topic every day. How the beat never empties: each day's article takes a different form — fresh news, guide/explainer, comparison/list, FAQ/answer.
The Money & Markets Desk is an editorial voice of the Europe Unfolded newsroom, covering business, gold, markets and personal finance — what moves money and what readers follow in markets. Column names are the newsroom's editorial identities: the newsroom writes every article under the column's name and beat. No author biography, face photo, social-media profile, or claim about where a correspondent is based is published for any column.
Gold slipped to $4,000.52 an ounce on Tuesday 27 October 2026 as a stronger dollar and higher Treasury yields pressed on the metal — while European shares fell, HSBC dropped 6.9%, and France's protests kept investors wary. This week, the Fed, the Bank of Japan and the ECB all meet. That is why a round number like $4,000 matters: it is the line traders are watching before the decisions land.
