At lunch time, the ASX/S&P 200 index was down around 0.55%.Australia’s year-on-year, inflation has cooled to 2.8%, which is below consensus forecast which expected it to stay at 2.9%.This data is crucial as it will help guide the Reserve Bank’s upcoming monetary policy decisions when they meet next week. There’s been a lot of speculation about potential interest rate cuts.Sectors wise, materials (mostly miners) led today while staples dragged.Staples was pulled down heavily by slumps in Woolworths (ASX:WOW) and Coles Group (ASX:COL). Woolworths tumbled by 5% after issuing a profit warning, while Coles was down almost 2%.In mining, gold stocks traded higher after gold prices hit a new record this morning, reaching $US2775.47 an ounce.Source: Market Index“The concerns around the upcoming US presidential election, combined with the escalating conflicts in the Middle East, are also major factors as they push investors into safe haven assets like gold,” said Datt Capital’s Emanuel Datt.Leading mining giants like BHP (ASX:BHP), Fortescue (ASX:FMG), and Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO) were also doing well this morning, gaining about 1% each due to rising iron ore prices.Still in large caps, Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) was up 5% despite cutting its guidance for FY25 and putting its Ngangaju plant on hold due to the falling lithium price. That will trim output by 100,000t of spodumene concentrate this year.And, Star Entertainment Group’s (ASX:SGR) shares plunged by 12% after reporting an 18% revenue decline, resulting in a loss of $18 million.Not the ASXOvernight on Wall Street, a rally in tech stocks pushed the Nasdaq to a record high. The S&P 500 rose slightly, while the Dow Jones dipped a bit.Alphabet, Google’s parent company, saw its stock jump 1.6% during regular trading and another 6% after hours, after reporting strong earnings driven by digital ads and cloud services.Chipmaker Broadcom rose 4% on news of a partnership with OpenAI.Reddit’s stock soared 22% after it reported strong sales; and VF Corp, which owns brands like Vans and North Face, jumped 27% after exceeding earnings expectations.Bitcoin was also rallying aggressively, trading now at above US$72,000. Its previous high was US$$73,737 achieved in March this year.ASX SMALL CAP WINNERSHere are the best performing ASX small cap stocks for October 30 [intraday]:Swipe or scroll to reveal full table.

Given the unique properties of VHD Graphite, it is expected that the final product will be produced in a mould, allowing a large variety of graphite shapes and blocks to be manufactured.Notwithstanding the proposed acquisition, GCM will continue to be a mineral exploration and development company with its flagship asset – the Mcintosh project in WA – boasting 30.2Mt in WA following a substantial 26% grade upgrade in July.Tryptamine Therapeutics (ASX:TYP), a clinical stage biotech, was surging earlier after having secured firm commitments from new and existing professional, sophisticated, and institutional investors to raise $6 million to accelerate development of its novel IV-infused psilocin formulation TRP-8803.ASX SMALL CAP LOSERSHere are the worst performing ASX small cap stocks for October 30 [intraday]:Swipe or scroll to reveal full table.
