- ACB General Director Từ Tiến Phát: Bank will also cut lending rates by 1.5–2% per year today
At the State Bank of Vietnam's meeting with top commercial bank executives on the morning of 19/10, ACB General Director Từ Tiến Phát said the bank would immediately implement the government's and central bank's directives. ACB will cut rates on its deposit rate table from today, effective the next day, and launch a special lending program reducing loan rates by 1.5% to 2% for businesses. He said its earlier program, a 1% rate cut, had disbursed about VND 5,000 billion so far. He described the central bank's warning that non-compliant banks could face reduced credit growth targets as a strong message that reinforces market discipline. He also expressed confidence that the State Bank will keep monetary policy flexible to support the system.
- S&P Global Ratings assigns 'AA' to SHB bonds guaranteed by ADB trust fund
S&P Global Ratings assigned a long-term 'AA' rating, with a Stable outlook, to SHB's planned Singapore dollar-denominated unsecured bonds guaranteed by the Credit Guarantee and Investment Facility (CGIF), a trust fund of the Asian Development Bank. The rating equals CGIF's long-term foreign-currency issuer rating, reflecting the guarantee's unconditional, timely and irrevocable nature. SHB plans to launch the international bond offering and a syndicated loan in October 2026, with the Singapore Exchange approving in-principle listing on Oct. 12 and Vietnam's securities regulator approving the offering registration. The bank says the move diversifies its funding sources and currencies and widens its investor base. In 2025, SHB raised two medium-term USD syndicated loans totaling $600 million from 26 international financial institutions.

- Keystone breach deepens: Hackers stole key used to verify wallets as genuine
Hardware wallet maker Keystone said an attacker who breached its website last week also stole a key used to verify device authenticity, which could let counterfeit wallets pass its checks. The company plans to destroy 18,835 devices in inventory that contain the compromised key and has suspended shipments of devices using it. It disclosed that 25,964 buyer records from 2024 to 2026 were stolen after a faulty data-erasure tool failed to delete them, and that 12,873 checkout records held by Shopify were also taken. Devices made and delivered before the Oct. 20 incident are considered safe, but the authenticity of later devices cannot be guaranteed. The breach follows other security issues at hardware wallet makers this year, including Ledger, Coinkite and Trezor.
- BB Stock Rises Overnight: BlackBerry CEO Says QNX's Alloy Kore Expanding Market— 'The Products We Sell Are Pervasive Around You'
BlackBerry (BB) stock edged 0.5% higher overnight after a 3% gain in the regular session, as CEO John Giamatteo highlighted prospects in automotive software, robotics and physical AI. He said the Alloy Kore platform, which combines the QNX operating system with middleware, expands the addressable market, and its first design win is expected to bring more than $100 million in future royalties, the biggest in QNX's history. QNX reported a record royalty backlog of over $1.2 billion, up 26% from about $950 million in the previous fiscal year. Giamatteo also pointed to Nvidia's adoption of QNX as the platform for its robot stack, opening opportunities beyond automotive. The stock is up 142%, on track for its best year since 2007.
- Cathie Wood Says Tesla, SpaceX Could Drive Up To 9% GDP Growth: ARK Sees Merger As Win For Both Shareholder Bases
Cathie Wood says Tesla and SpaceX are leading the economy toward 7% to 9% real GDP growth, while ARK Investment Management sees a merger of the two companies as delivering substantial gains for both shareholder bases. ARK's share-swap model, with no premium paid, projects a 3.8-fold boost to Tesla investors' returns and a 7.2-fold boost to SpaceX investors' incremental returns, with Tesla shareholders holding about 42% of the combined company's projected 2031 market value. ARK argues Tesla's robotaxi and Cybercab cash flow could fund SpaceX's capital-intensive expansion, though it estimates installing 10 gigawatts of Nvidia Vera Rubin systems could cost more than $400 billion before other data-center costs. Musk, however, said assuming a merger is certain would be overstating it, and independent board committees are reviewing a possible deal without having agreed on terms.
- China industrial profits post strongest growth in three months, rising 14.4%
Profits at large Chinese industrial firms rose 14.4% last month from a year earlier, the strongest pace since June, as a boom in AI-related manufacturing offset weak domestic demand. For the first nine months of the year, industrial profits climbed 15.5%. High-tech sectors such as AI and robotics have outperformed consumer-related industries including clothing, autos and furniture, while higher commodity prices from the war in Iran have raised input costs for downstream manufacturers. GDP grew 4.5% in the third quarter and 4.6% in the first nine months, within the government's 4.5% to 5% full-year target, while retail sales rose just 1.1% in September. Shena Yue of Oxford Economics said household demand is the weak link as the property downturn weighs on housing purchases, and China's export strength cannot fully offset domestic weakness.
- Should You Forget Nike Stock Near a 52-Week Low?
Nike shares closed at $37.30 on Oct. 23, near their 52-week low of $31.97 and well below the high of $70.44. Fiscal first-quarter sales, for the period ended Aug. 31, dropped 5% year over year on a foreign-currency-adjusted basis, and management forecasts sales will fall by a high single-digit percentage this year. CEO Elliott Hill has outlined steps including rebuilding retailer relationships, developing products and refocusing on sports merchandise, but rebuilding the brand's relevance remains challenging. Amid intense competition and a turnaround that has yet to show tangible results, the author considers the stock a possible value trap and would pass on it despite the big price drop.
