  2. OpenAI: Apple's integration of ChatGPT falls short of expectations, subscription conversion below forecastsBlockBeats news, September 24 — The UK's Financial Times, citing newly released court documents, reported that after Apple integrated ChatGPT into Apple Intelligence, OpenAI found that new weekly active users fell short of expectations and began lowering its growth forecasts. By the summer of 2025, OpenAI internally regarded the integration as "clearly underwhelming." The documents show that ChatGPT is disabled by default in Apple Intelligence, requiring users to actively enable it, which may have limited its actual usage rate. Although users can invoke ChatGPT through Siri and system writing tools, Apple controls the entry point to AI features, the method of invocation, and the choice of subsequent models. OpenAI had previously hoped to leverage the iPhone's massive user base to expand ChatGPT's reach and further drive user conversion into paid subscribers, but actual subscription conversion also fell short of expectations. The documents did not disclose specific new user or subscriber numbers. Apple this year chose Google Gemini as the model foundation for the new version of Siri AI, further highlighting Apple's control over the core AI entry point. The disclosures come from court documents related to litigation between Apple and OpenAI, reflecting OpenAI's position in the litigation, not publicly released operating data from the two companies.

  6. Gold falls below $4,300, TD Securities and BMO still expect a run toward $5,000 by 2027BlockBeats news, September 24 — Gold recently fell below $4,300 per ounce, with a stronger dollar, rising U.S. Treasury yields, and the Federal Reserve restarting rate hikes all weighing on prices. However, both TD Securities and BMO Capital Markets believe that medium- to long-term demand for gold remains resilient and expect gold prices to break back above $5,000 in 2027. Ryan McKay, senior commodity strategist at TD Securities, said the traditional negative correlation between gold and real interest rates is weakening, and geopolitical risks, de-dollarization, fiscal sustainability concerns, and currency debasement risks may continue to support gold demand. TD Securities expects gold to break back above $5,000 in 2027. On fund flows, TD Securities estimates that global gold ETFs have accumulated about 6.3 million ounces since July, while central banks bought nearly 70 tonnes of gold per month on a three-month moving average basis. The firm believes that if investment demand continues to recover, the gold market still has room to absorb further capital. BMO also noted that global physical gold demand is improving, with support from India's wedding season, China's gold imports, and ETF inflows. Over the past week, global gold ETFs attracted about $4.2 billion in inflows; China's net non-monetary gold imports in August rose 48% year-on-year to 124.5 tonnes. BMO believes that gold's ability to hold near $4,300 to $4,400 even as the dollar and 10-year U.S. Treasury yields rose simultaneously shows that its traditional relationship with bond yields is weakening. The bank expects gold to break back above $5,000 in the first quarter of 2027, but short-term attention should still be paid to China-U.S. talks and U.S. core PCE inflation data.
