SK Hynix reported revenue up 328% to some $78.7 billion and operating profit up 632%, helping ease concerns about the AI trade.

- Why Intel Stock Fell Today | The Motley Fool
Intel shares fell 8.1% on Thursday, October 22, as rising oil prices and concerns over AI spending weighed on chip stocks. Brent crude topped $112 a barrel after attacks in Saudi Arabia, fuelling worries that inflation and borrowing costs will stay high, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.2% and 2.6%. The article notes that Treasury yields fell during the session but remain well above pre-war levels, while financing costs for massive data center build-outs keep rising. Meta reported negative free cash flow for the first time since 2012 and said it may spend more on capital expenditures than planned; it also approved a non-voting stock class that could raise capital without diluting CEO Mark Zuckerberg's voting control, which was seen as a sign that financing costs make borrowing less attractive.

- Discussion on the draft amended Law on Real Estate Business: Not letting developers deliberately commit violations and then 'just pay a fine and it's over'
On 30 October, the National Assembly debated the draft amended Law on Real Estate Business in plenary session. Deputy Vũ Văn Tiến (Hai Phong delegation) cited more than 3,900 apartments in Muong Thanh Group projects in Hanoi that are included in a planned plan to address violations of planning and construction order. He urged tighter control from the point of sale, cross-checking apartment lists against approved documents, publishing lists of eligible units, clarifying each agency's responsibility, and requiring developers to bear full responsibility and recover unlawful gains rather than simply paying fines. On contract transfers, delegates said deposits for future housing should be capped at 5% and collected only once the property is eligible for business; Tô Ái Vang (Can Tho delegation) proposed placing the deposit in a blocked account, while Dương Khắc Mai (Lam Dong delegation) warned of collections under names such as 'slot reservation' before they are permitted.

- Iran claims four tankers struck mines in Hormuz as strike fears grow after U.S. midterms
Iran said four tankers struck mines in the Strait of Hormuz, while Yemen's Houthis claimed missile strikes on Saudi Arabia, adding pressure on two fronts. The IRGC said three tankers caught fire after striking mines on an "unauthorized southern route" near the Omani coast, and Iran's army said a fourth burned east of the strait. The UK Maritime Trade Operations agency reported a small boat attaching two explosive devices to a tanker about 25 nautical miles northeast of Khasab, Oman, causing an engine-room fire that disabled the vessel; the crew was safe. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance is seeking to reopen talks with Iran, and the U.S. is reportedly weighing renewed military action after the Nov. 3 midterm elections, raising fears that fighting could resume around the vote. Traffic through the strait has fallen to single-digit daily transits since the war began in late February.
