Barrick Mining reported Q3 revenue of $5.07 bln, below the $5.3 bln consensus. Q3 gold production was 816,000 oz and copper production 50,000 tonnes. The company reiterated its full-year production guidance.

CPCA said November has 21 working days—same as last year and two more than October—giving a longer effective production and sales window. Cold weather and migrant-worker returns should boost county and township demand; CPCA sees structural opportunities in new-energy vehicles and low- to mid-end internal-combustion-engine cars, but warns November is historically volatile and can be weak as external macro conditions and seasonality interact. CPCA views November as a reasonable time to actively build inventory ahead of typically stronger year-end demand, noting the constraint of weak dealer confidence, some dealer exits and reduced channel stocking, which leaves significant year-end destocking pressure.
