- Domestic gold prices continue downtrend, trading at VND 142.3 million per tael

- Why have fresh investments into gold FoFs been halted , and what should you do ?
About 20 mutual fund houses have reportedly halted fresh lump-sum investments, new SIPs and top-ups into gold fund of funds (FoFs) following regulatory directives issued on 15 and 16 October. The aim is to curb gold import demand and ease rupee pressure during the festive season, while direct gold ETF investments and existing active SIPs are unaffected. Navneet Damani of Motilal Oswal said high crude prices strain the rupee and balance of payments, so gold and silver imports could be curtailed, though import duties raised from 6% to 15% have not halted inflows. Gold FoF industry size stood at ₹47,359 crore in August, down from ₹53,638 crore in March, and experts advised investing based on needs rather than FOMO. Secondary-market sovereign gold bonds (SGBs) no longer qualify for tax-free maturity gains and now face 12.5% long-term capital gains tax.
- Domestic gold prices drop 1.1 million VND per tael this morning
Domestic gold prices fell sharply this morning by 800,000 to 1.1 million VND per tael, while the State Bank's central exchange rate rose slightly to 25,639 VND per USD. SJC gold at Sài Gòn and Doji was quoted at 139 million VND per tael to buy and 142 million to sell. World gold, at about USD 4,137 per ounce and down USD 47, equals roughly 131 million VND per tael, leaving SJC gold about 11 million VND higher.
- Gold prices today (13/10): Broadly down
On the morning of October 13, domestic gold prices fell across the board in step with world prices, with SJC gold bars reaching 143.5 million VND per tael on the sell side. At 9am, SJC quoted 140.5–143.5 million VND per tael, down 1.3 million from the previous morning, while Phu Quy, DOJI, Mi Hong and Bao Tin Minh Chau gold rings fell by similar amounts. World gold stood at $4,165 an ounce, down $40 from the previous morning, which put SJC bars about 12.3 million VND per tael above the world-price equivalent. The State Bank set its central rate at 25,633 VND per USD, up 12 dong, while Vietcombank quoted USD at 25,730–26,110 VND. Pham Chi Quang, Director of the State Bank's Monetary Policy Department, said the dong had gained about 1.12% against the USD but warned that exchange rate swings could feed into CPI, while FX demand typically rises in Q4. The DXY index at one point topped 102 points as several Asian currencies fell 2–7% against the dollar.
- Daily Gold Trading Report - Friday , October 23 , 2026
The Daily Gold Trading Report for October 23, 2026 puts spot gold near $4,004 after an overnight drop to the $4,000 area. Price sits below the 20-hour and 50-hour moving averages, and the report rates the bias as bearish, while the hourly RSI at 14.7 is deeply oversold, which is why the test of $4,000 produced a bounce. Key support is listed at $3,987 and $3,980, with resistance at $4,030, and the June lows near $3,950 are flagged as the next level to watch. The Fed is in its pre-meeting blackout ahead of the October 27 to 28 FOMC, with markets pricing a December hike at 88 to 90% on CME FedWatch and the 10-year Treasury yield near 5.00%. Brent touched $111.99, a five-month high, while the dollar index held near 101.6.

Latest news
- Tanker carrying 43,000 tonnes of Russian oil sends very good news to US
A tanker carrying nearly 43,000 tonnes of ultra-low sulphur diesel left Russia's Primorsk port on October 22 and has repeatedly signalled New York as its destination, with arrival expected on November 7. If completed, it would be the first Russian refined fuel cargo to reach the US since imports nearly stopped after the Ukraine conflict began in 2022, though the signalled destination could change. The shipment comes about two weeks after Trump and Putin agreed to return Russian diesel to international markets, as Washington seeks more supply before the November 3 midterm elections amid rising fuel prices. The US Treasury granted a special licence allowing Russian diesel into the country until April next year, and Trump said Russia would release over 300,000 tonnes immediately, about 500,000 tonnes in November and 2 million tonnes later. Critics, including some lawmakers, argue the deal could give Moscow extra revenue during the Ukraine war and question whether the released volumes are large enough to significantly lower fuel prices.
- Franklin Templeton adds $150 million in fund shares to XRP Ledger, all in one wallet
Franklin Templeton added about $150 million worth of shares in its tokenized money market fund, sgBENJI, to the XRP Ledger, and all the new shares went to a single wallet. That wallet now holds nearly 193 million shares, up from about 48 million, worth roughly $200 million at the $1.039 share price recorded in the transactions. The wallet and Franklin's issuing account share the same eight signing addresses, and Franklin can approve, freeze or recover the fund's tokens on the network. It is unclear whether the wallet represents one investor or several clients, and as of Saturday morning Asia time Franklin had not responded to CoinDesk's questions. RWA.xyz ranks Franklin second among tokenized asset platforms on the XRP Ledger, behind Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin.
- Vietnam's production plant ranked world's second largest, featuring ultra-modern technology
The Sóc Sơn waste-to-energy plant in Hanoi began construction in August 2019, started receiving waste in May 2022, and was inaugurated in October 2025. With a daily intake capacity of 5,000 tons and power output of 90 MW/hour, it is described as the largest in Vietnam, the world's second largest after the Shenzhen plant in China, and the largest in Southeast Asia. The plant uses Belgian Waterleau mechanical grate incinerator technology, and heat from burning waste produces steam that drives turbines to generate electricity fed into the national grid. Under its environmental permit, the plant must halt relevant discharges if pollution, noise or vibration exceed limits, and must continuously transmit wastewater monitoring data to Hanoi's environmental authority. The article notes Hanoi generates about 7,600 tons of household waste daily and has buried over 30 million tons since 1999.
- Prime Minister Le Minh Hung requests at least a 30% further cut in public investment projects, concentrating capital on key projects with wide-reaching impact
Prime Minister Le Minh Hung said that in this term, the Central Government requires cutting public investment projects by at least 30% further, after the previous term saw about 5,000 projects nationwide, to concentrate resources on projects with broad impact. Investment efficiency should be assessed across the full project lifecycle, covering social benefits and contributions to infrastructure, living standards and social security, with priority for poverty reduction, support for ethnic minority and disadvantaged areas, national defense and security, health, education and culture. The draft amended public investment law proposes dropping the separate investment policy approval step for Group C projects, which made up over 60% of projects in the recent period, and integrating those contents into the investment decision step, while Group A, Group B and nationally important projects would still require that step. The Prime Minister also stressed the leading role of the central budget and that simplifying procedures must go hand in hand with strict control.
- Silver price down nearly 60% from peak
World silver prices fell about 5.4% over the past week and are down roughly 54% from their late-January 2026 peak, while Phú Quý silver prices in Vietnam are down nearly 60% from that peak. World silver traded around 53.8 USD/ounce on the morning of 24/10, while gold hovered near 3,995 USD/ounce after slipping below 4,000 USD/ounce. The sell-off was driven by investor concerns that escalating US-Iran tensions would push crude oil to multi-year highs, and by expectations that the Fed will keep monetary policy tight ahead of its FOMC meeting on 27-28/10 and the PCE inflation report on 29/10. BlackRock's iShares Silver Trust (SLV) bought a net over 14 tonnes of silver on 23/10 and now holds 15.5 thousand tonnes, worth 26.85 billion USD. According to Kitco News, silver also faces pressure from higher energy costs weighing on production demand.
- EVN's 2025 electricity production cost is nearly 2,093 VND per kWh
EVN reported total electricity production and business costs of 601,680 billion VND in 2025, equal to a unit cost of 2,092.7 VND per kWh on commercial output of 287.51 billion kWh, about 5% below the average retail price of 2,204.07 VND per kWh applied since 10/5/2025. Power generation accounted for nearly 83% of costs at 498,363 billion VND, followed by distribution and retail at 78,993 billion VND and transmission at over 22,141 billion VND. The article notes the gap does not directly reflect actual profit per kWh, since the average retail price dates from May while unit cost covers the full year. EVN has cleared its consolidated accumulated losses, though the parent company still carried a loss of about 5,611 billion VND, and in the first eight months revenue exceeded 482,000 billion VND with profit estimated at 12,215 billion VND. Prime Minister Le Minh Hung has directed that electricity prices not be raised in the final months of 2026.
