On 13 October, the Lộc Hà commune police in Hà Tĩnh said they had worked with a local Agribank branch to stop a scam in which fraudsters impersonated police. On 12 October, Mr. T.V.C. (55, Lộc Hà commune) received a call from an unknown number from people claiming to be police, who said he and his spouse were linked to a drug case and demanded his savings book details, ID card photo and personal data, while telling him to keep it secret. The group then instructed him to withdraw VND 1.5 billion from his savings and transfer it to a designated account. A bank teller spotted warning signs and reported the case to police, who explained the scam to him; he realized he had been deceived and stopped the transaction.

- Reserve Bank governor paid $1 . 2 million as RBA workers fight real wage cuts
RBA Governor Michele Bullock received total remuneration of $1.22 million in 2025-26, while RBA staff are pushing for an 11 per cent pay rise over three years plus an inflation-protection mechanism to avoid real wage cuts; the bank has offered 9.5 per cent. Hours after the RBA lifted rates for the fourth time this year, Ms Bullock emailed staff urging them to accept the offer, even though a majority had rejected a similar proposal in July. Australia's unemployment rate has risen to 4.7 per cent, up 0.6 percentage points from 4.1 per cent since the RBA began raising rates in February, and Ms Bullock has said unemployment between 4.5 and 5 per cent could ease inflation pressure. Economists say the RBA may not have finished lifting rates.
- Jamie Dimon Warns AI Agents That Make Payments on Your Behalf May Not Act Properly : AI Revolution Like a Tsunami That Must Be Managed
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned that if AI agents can make payments, customers must hand over their bank codes, putting the agents inside the bank with no assurance they will act in customers' interests. He said such agents could behave in "treacherous" ways for banks, citing Meta's consumer agent Muse, launched in September. Dimon likened AI to a tsunami moving far faster than the Industrial Revolution and said AI tools are surfacing hundreds of significant vulnerabilities in open-source code that leave industries "completely unprotected" against criminals. The Federal Reserve, OCC and FDIC are questioning lenders about advanced AI systems and safeguards, while the Bank of England and ECB are pressing banks to improve recovery plans for AI-related disruptions. Dimon also predicted AI could help treat diseases such as cancer, cut road deaths by as much as 80%, and let people work as little as 3.5 days a week within 30 years.
- Jamie Dimon Warns AI Agents That Make Payments on Your Behalf 'May Not' Act Properly: AI Revolution Like a 'Tsunami' That Must Be Managed
Speaking at the Economic Club of Chicago, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned that if AI agents are allowed to make payments, customers would have to hand over their bank codes, putting the agents 'in your bank' without assurance they will act properly. He said this could be 'treacherous' for the bank and, on the earnings call, warned of possibly thousands of rogue agents, pointing to consumer agents such as Muse from Meta Platforms. Dimon described AI as a 'tsunami' moving far faster than the Industrial Revolution that must be managed, while JPMorgan has used AI since 2012 and is piloting its Smart Cash tool. He said AI tools are surfacing hundreds of significant open-source code vulnerabilities, leaving industries 'completely unprotected,' and that US regulators are questioning lenders about AI safeguards. Still, Dimon predicted AI could help treat cancer and cut road deaths by as much as 80%.
- ACT public schools face budget cuts as support staff slashed | The Canberra Times
This piece compiles reader letters to The Canberra Times, mainly opposing ACT public school budget cuts, including to learning support assistants (LSAs). The writer argues LSAs are integral to pupil learning and teacher welfare, and that the cuts stem from mismanaged territory budgeting rather than the education budget itself. Other letters oppose a stadium proposal by Canberra Airport Group on Commonwealth Park and Archbishop's house land, criticise Trump for lifting sanctions on Russian diesel, and call for a more balanced approach to western edge housing. One letter argues Labor's 9% pay offer over three years is reasonable compared with the CPSU's 15% demand.
- Federal Agencies Clarify What Banks May Tell Customers And Other Third Parties About Suspected Fraud And SARs
On September 2, 2026, the Federal Reserve, FDIC, FinCEN, NCUA and OCC issued a joint statement clarifying that SAR confidentiality generally does not stop banks from discussing suspected fraud or suspicious transactions with customers, including the subject of a SAR, and with other third parties. Banks may also tell customers that an account restriction or closure is related to suspected fraud, as long as they do not reveal that a SAR was or will be filed. The statement does not change Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) requirements and does not cover non-bank institutions such as money services businesses and casinos. Banks remain strictly prohibited from disclosing a SAR or information revealing it, and violations can bring civil and criminal penalties. The statement recommends case-by-case assessment and focusing communications on observations, concerns, policies or actions rather than on whether a SAR was filed.

- Winning over Vingroup and Sun Group with concrete and special materials: Vietnamese company's profit up 136%, chairman speaks out
Song Da Cao Cuong (SCL) reported Q3/2026 profit of VND 38 billion, up 136%, on net revenue of over VND 263 billion (up nearly 98%), while gross profit margin rose from about 36% to 41%.

Over the past two years, the company has invested about VND 1,000 billion in factories and technology.

At the annual general meeting on October 20, Coteccons (HoSE: CTD) set fiscal 2027 targets of VND 42,000 billion in revenue and VND 1,050 billion in after-tax profit, and said it is considering expanding into residential construction for individual customers (B2C).

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.
- Asian shares mostly decline after AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street
Asian shares mostly fell in cautious trading on Tuesday after AI-related stocks rebounded on Wall Street, while other sectors stayed shaky and oil prices stayed high. Japan's Nikkei 225 slipped 0.6% to 64,512.35 in early trading, South Korea's Kospi dropped 2.8%, and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.8%. On Wall Street, the S&P 500 rose 0.4% and the Nasdaq gained 1.1%, helped by Nvidia's 1.4% gain, while most stocks outside AI and tech fell and the Dow slipped 0.1%. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14%, and U.S. crude rose to $103.50 a barrel and Brent to $109.47, as uncertainty about when the energy industry will return to normal after the war with Iran means oil is unlikely to ease soon.

- What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?
X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase. The article says the deal offers commercial validation for X-Energy's reactor platform rather than immediate financial relief, as the company, with a $4.3b market cap, reported $150.28 million in revenue, a $448.87 million loss, and a 20.2x price-to-sales ratio. The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
