For the first time in about a year and a half, many domestic banks quoted both buy and sell USD rates below 26,000 dong. At Vietcombank, the rate was 25,610 dong to buy and 25,990 dong to sell, down 30 dong from the start of the day; other state-owned banks ranged 25,440–25,980 dong, while Sacombank and TPBank still held selling rates near 26,000 dong. The bank rate is about 1.5% lower than at the start of the year, and the gap with the free market has widened again. MBS expects USD to strengthen in the final months of the year on high oil prices and Fed rates staying high, forecasting 26,800–27,000 dong by year-end. UOB, noting a Fed hike in September and possibly two more before Q1 2027, forecasts 26,300 dong in Q4, then 26,600 and 26,800 dong in Q1 and Q2 of next year.

The U.S. Dollar Index was flat at 101.60 by 03:33 GMT, near a three-week low and on track for a second straight weekly loss. USD/JPY edged up 0.1% to 156.90 after a nearly 1% drop in the previous session, as the yen reached its highest level in more than a month. Brent crude near $114 a barrel, after a 4% jump on Thursday following attacks in Saudi Arabia, raises inflation risks for energy importers such as Japan, India and South Korea. The Indian rupee extended its losses, with USD/INR up 0.3% to 95.109, while the yuan hovered near four-year lows; the Fed is expected to hold rates at 3.75%-4.00% on October 28, with ECB and BoJ decisions due on October 29 and 30.

- Global US Dollar Price Hovers Near 18-Month Peak
The Dollar Index stood at 102.1 on the morning of Oct. 12, slightly lower from last week but still near the 18-month high set a few days earlier, as Middle East tensions and oil prices kept the dollar elevated. The greenback fell 0.14% against the yen to 158.1 per dollar, while the euro rose 0.1% after five straight sessions of declines, with trading thin due to a Japanese holiday.

- World Gold Prices Suffer Steepest Drop in a Year
Spot gold fell 3.58% to $3,875.53 per ounce, its lowest level since October 2025, as a wave of tech-stock selling heightened concerns about returns on AI investments. Silver dropped 6.5% to $49 per ounce, breaking below $50 for the first time in 11 months, while palladium lost the $1,000 mark and platinum faced heavy selling. Commerzbank said the tech-stock slump could trigger selling of safe-haven assets such as gold, but still expects precious metals to recover. Gold has fallen about 30% from its record high of $5,595 per ounce in January, weighed down by expectations of interest rates staying high for longer and weaker gold demand in Asia. HSBC forecasts silver's 2027 average at $64 per ounce, down from its $71 forecast for this year.
- Detailed Guidance on 30% Cut in Personal and Corporate Income Tax Payable from Businesses with Revenue Up to VND 10 Billion
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang signed Decree No. 398/2026/NĐ-CP detailing Resolution No. 43/2026/QH16 on cutting personal income tax (PIT) and corporate income tax (CIT). Resident individuals running businesses, including household businesses, with annual revenue of up to VND 10 billion in 2026 and 2027 will get a 30% reduction in PIT payable on business income. Individuals expecting revenue within this threshold declare the cut with their periodic tax filings, while entities that withhold or pay tax on behalf of individuals apply the 30% reduction to the tax they withhold or pay. If actual annual revenue exceeds VND 10 billion, the individual loses the reduction and must pay back the amount reduced, though this supplementary tax is not subject to late-payment interest up to the filing deadline of the period in which revenue exceeded the threshold. The decree also covers a 30% cut in CIT payable for 2026 and 2027, but this part of the article is cut short.

- Elon Musk Warns Of AI Shakeout, While Zuckerberg, Pichai, Nadella, Jassy Discuss The Costs: MAG 7 Voices This Week

Meta launched about $35 billion of stock offerings as part of a plan to raise nearly $100 billion, with Nvidia agreeing to invest $3 billion. Alphabet reported negative free cash flow of $9.07 billion for a second straight quarter as capital spending reached $51.4 billion, while Amazon's trailing free cash flow was negative $42.4 billion. Alphabet's Q3 revenue rose 25% to $127.6 billion and Google Cloud revenue jumped 103% to $30.7 billion, yet the stock suffered its worst day ever, wiping out over $500 billion of market value.
- Why Intel Stock Crashed on Friday
Intel shares fell more than 28% on Friday after its fourth-quarter guidance came in well below Wall Street estimates. Third-quarter revenue rose 21% to $16.5 billion, with data center and AI sales up 78% to $7.3 billion, while client computing revenue fell 5% to $8.1 billion. Adjusted net income rose 169% to $2.8 billion and adjusted EPS climbed 126% to $0.52. For the fourth quarter, Intel forecast revenue of $15–16 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.25, versus estimates of $17.1 billion and $0.43, as CEO Lip-Bu Tan cited soaring memory chip prices straining IT budgets and an extended shutdown after a factory accident in Israel. CFO David Zinsner said the PC slowdown could continue at least through the first half of next year, while analysts worry memory chip shortages could persist for years.
- Johnson & Johnson Just Took $7 Billion in Charges and Still Raised Its Outlook. Here's What That Tells Investors.
Johnson & Johnson recorded about $7 billion in charges in Q3 2026, including a proposed talc litigation resolution and expenses tied to the Firefly Bio transaction and a Sail Biomedicines collaboration, which weighed heavily on earnings. Despite this, the company raised its full-year revenue and earnings guidance, with quarterly revenue up nearly 6% while GAAP earnings per share fell about 96%. The proposed talc settlement totals $5.5 billion, with an initial $3 billion payment due in 2027 and the remainder paid in later years. The author views the settlement as a net positive that could let J&J focus on long-term growth, noting that healthcare spending tends to hold up in recessions. J&J has increased its dividend for 64 consecutive years, which the author cites as evidence of the company's resilience.
