PVcomBank has announced a list of seven investors planning to buy 300 million shares in a private placement under its 2026 charter capital increase plan, equal to 25% of shares outstanding after the issue. Four companies, I.P Real Estate Investment, Ly Thanh Sao, Construction Investment Consulting and DTH Technology, and Vuong Phat Real Estate Construction, each plan to buy about 59-60 million shares, nearly 5% of post-issue capital. Phuong Dong Trade and Financial Consulting Investment will buy more than 30.28 million shares (2.53%), while individuals Pham Thanh Tien and Cao Hung Cuong will also buy more, each lifting their stake to close to 5%. The offering price of VND 13,628 per share is 50-60% above the trading price over the past month, so the group could spend more than VND 4,000 billion. After the placement, charter capital will rise from VND 9,000 billion to VND 12,000 billion for the first time in 13 years, and foreign ownership is expected to fall from 8.05% at end-2025 to about 6%.

- Boeing Fell Back Below $200 Ahead of a Strike Deadline. Here's Why I'd Buy the Fear After New Contracts Were Signed
Boeing averted a strike earlier this month after new contracts were signed with 17,000 engineers and technical workers represented by SPEEA. Still, its shares are down 11.3% over the past month and 26.7% from their 52-week high. The defense side stands out: the U.S. Navy picked Boeing over Northrop Grumman for the sixth-generation carrier-based fighter, likely delivering in the 2030s, and the Air Force chose Boeing to develop the F-47 to replace the F-15. The commercial business has weighed on the stock, with supply chain problems for the 737 and an autopilot software glitch that triggered a sell-off on Sept. 28. The author sees the decline as an opportunity and cites Barclays analyst Anthony Valentini naming Boeing a potential winner in an industrial revolution scenario.
- Pham Thanh Tien, Cao Hung Cuong and 5 companies plan to buy 300 million shares of a bank
Pham Thanh Tien, Cao Hung Cuong and five companies have registered to buy a combined 300 million PVcomBank (PCB) shares in the 2026 private placement at VND 13,628 per share, or about VND 4,088 billion if fully sold. The five companies plan to buy over 268.9 million shares for about VND 3,666 billion, while the rest goes to two individual existing shareholders. The article notes the offer price is well above the market: PCB closed on October 15 at VND 8,300, about 39% lower. PVcomBank said foreign ownership is expected to fall from 8.05% to 6.039% after the offering, and Petrovietnam holds 52% of charter capital.
- Exxon Wants to Repeat Its Guyana Success in Trinidad. Should You Buy the Stock Now or Wait for the First Well?
ExxonMobil (XOM) is looking for its next major offshore oil discovery, and Trinidad and Tobago could be where it finds one. Its TTUD-1 exploration block covers about 7,165 square kilometers near Guyana, where Exxon and partners have found roughly 11 billion barrels of recoverable oil. Exxon sees Trinidad as a geological extension of Guyana, with a first drilling location expected by mid-2027 and an initial well potentially in late 2027 or early 2028, though there is no guarantee of comparable resources. In Q2 2026, Exxon reported $14.5 billion in earnings, $17.2 billion in free cash flow and $9.4 billion returned to shareholders, while Permian output hit a record 1.8 million oil-equivalent barrels per day. The author argues the existing business supports the investment case, so a Trinidad result would be an added benefit rather than the deciding factor.

- The S&P 500 Is Expecting Something Extraordinary. History Says Investors Should Be Careful What They Wish For.
According to LSEG, S&P 500 earnings are forecast to grow 31% year over year in the third quarter, driven mainly by tech and semiconductors, with energy also contributing. The forward P/E has dipped slightly to 21, suggesting the recent rally has been fueled by earnings growth rather than higher valuations. The author warns that if this growth is already priced in, a downside surprise could trigger a 10% correction, though not necessarily a crash. Comparing with earnings booms in 2000, 2004, 2010 and 2021, the article notes that roughly two-thirds of growth comes from AI-adjacent tech firms, while energy gains are tied to oil prices lifted by the Iran war. It suggests keeping core holdings such as VOO and VTI and reviewing overall tech sector exposure.
- The S&P 500 Is Expecting Something Extraordinary. History Says Investors Should Be Careful What They Wish For.
LSEG forecasts S&P 500 earnings to grow 31% year over year in the third quarter, driven mainly by tech and semiconductors, with energy also contributing. The forward P/E has eased slightly to 21, so the recent rally has been fueled by earnings growth rather than multiple expansion. The article argues much of this good news may already be priced in, so an earnings shortfall could trigger a 10% correction, the first in about a year and a half. It compares today’s AI-driven boom with 2021, 2010, 2004 and 2000, when growth above 30% in 2000 preceded the collapse of the tech bubble. About two-thirds of expected growth comes from AI-adjacent tech firms, and energy’s boost depends on oil prices tied to the Iran war, making the growth vulnerable to reversal.

- The sorrow of Europe's “big brother” economy: Bonds keep selling off heavily after a “turbulent weekend”
French 10-year government bond yields rose 0.14 percentage points to 4.93% after a turbulent weekend, while the spread over German bonds returned to 1.47 percentage points. Nationwide protests over rising living costs and student education conditions turned into widespread rioting and looting; the government said at least 3,000 shops and businesses were looted, and the French retail federation estimated damages could reach “several hundred million euros.” More than 2,500 people are under formal investigation, 67 of them detained, and several cities have imposed curfews. President Macron rejected Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez’s resignation offer, even though Nuñez admitted police were deployed too thinly for protests of over 550,000 people, against an expected 200,000. Opposition politicians and the mayors of Paris and Marseille criticized the government for letting police lose control of the situation.
- President Donald Trump Claims, "We Don't Have Inflation, and Tariffs Don't Cause Inflation," but a New Report Strongly Disagrees
Although the stock market has posted strong returns under President Trump, the article argues his inflation-driving policies may be the biggest threat to the AI-driven bull market. A New York Federal Reserve report by three economists finds that by February 2026, tariffs had added 2.9 percentage points to goods price inflation, and each percentage point increase in average tariffs lifted consumer prices by about a quarter of a point after one year. Beyond tariffs, the Iran war and the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz have pushed fuel prices sharply higher, with fuel oil up 74.0% and gasoline up 34.2% over the past year, while overall CPI rose 3.7%. The article warns that persistent inflation could prompt the Fed to raise rates more aggressively, slowing AI infrastructure investment and sending stocks lower.
- Bitcoin ETFs just saw their biggest day in a month thanks entirely to BlackRock
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $526.6 million on Monday, the largest daily net inflow in nearly a month, driven entirely by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in $665.2 million, its biggest daily inflow since Oct. 7 last year, according to SoSoValue data. Fidelity's FBTC lost $83.6 million and Grayscale's GBTC shed $54.9 million, while the remaining funds recorded no net flows. The inflow more than erased last week's $228.5 million of withdrawals, but funds remain about $90.5 million in net outflows for October, according to CoinDesk calculations. Ether funds moved the opposite way, losing $103.3 million in their fourth consecutive session of outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $95.4 million of that.
- A Big4 bank cut deposit rates in the morning, then raised them again in the afternoon
VietinBank cut its deposit rates for terms of 6 months and longer on the morning of Oct. 20, then restored them to pre-adjustment levels by the afternoon. Its afternoon rate board showed 3.5% per year for 6 to under 12 months, 5.9% for 12 to under 24 months and 6% for 24 months and longer, versus 3%, 5.4% and 5.5% in the morning. Rates for terms under 6 months stayed unchanged, including 2.1% for 1 to under 3 months and 2.4% for 3 to under 6 months. The move came as banks followed the State Bank of Vietnam's guidance to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points for terms of 6 months and longer, and Vietcombank and Agribank were among those reducing rates.
- IVV vs. SPY: Which S&P 500 ETF Is the Better Buy for Long-Term Investors?
The article compares two ETFs that track the S&P 500, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which have nearly identical holdings. The main difference is the expense ratio: IVV charges 0.03% a year, one-third of SPY's 0.09%, and its distribution yield is about 1.1% versus 1% for SPY. SPY's high liquidity remains valuable for active traders. The article concludes that IVV is the better choice for long-term investors, since lower costs can compound over time.
