Coffee prices plunge

Coffee prices in Dak Lak and Lam Dong fell for 8 straight sessions to below 90,000 dong per kg, after reaching 104,000 dong in August. On the morning of October 28, prices edged up 200 dong to 88,500 dong per kg but remained about 15% below the August recovery and 35% below the March peak. In world markets, New York Arabica for December 2026 delivery fell 2.39% to 293.75 US cents per pound, while London Robusta for November 2026 delivery rose 1.44% to USD 3,240 per tonne. Vicofa said the 2026-2027 harvest enters its main season from November and forecast that Vietnam's coffee exports could rise 8-10% from 2025. USDA projects record global output of 189.7 million 60-kg bags for 2026-2027, exceeding demand by nearly 10 million bags, which raises oversupply risk and pressure on prices.

  • Proposal for a national agricultural commodity exchange model this year

    At a conference on 27 October, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung asked the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to finalise its list of priority problems by 15 December and propose a national agricultural commodity exchange model by 31 December, as about 20 local exchanges currently operate ineffectively. Agriculture, forestry and fisheries exports reached nearly USD 71 billion in 2025, up about 3.8%; in the first nine months, the sector grew over 4%, earning USD 56.3 billion and targeting about USD 74.2 billion for the full year. Minister of Agriculture and Environment Trinh Viet Hung said the sector will remove institutional obstacles, digitise planting-area data, and require traceability and transparent product information across all sectors. Deputy Minister of Public Security Nguyen Van Long said a national exchange would serve as a focal point to bring products to trading and expand markets and international trade.

  • Setting an unprecedented record in history, a Vietnamese sector passes 1,000 billion USD in just 10 months

    Vietnam's total goods trade reached 1,010.6 billion USD in the first 10 months of 2026, up 32.3% year on year and passing the 1,000 billion USD mark, with October alone at 122.2 billion USD, up 47.6%. Exports were estimated at 499 billion USD, up 27.4%, with processing industry goods making up 87.4% of export turnover and growth recorded in both domestic and FDI sectors. October posted an estimated trade surplus of 6.8 billion USD, the second straight monthly surplus, which cut the cumulative 10-month trade deficit to about 12.7 billion USD. The Ministry of Industry and Trade is drafting a strategy to 2030 targeting export growth of 15-16% a year and import growth of 12-13% a year, and aims for Vietnam to rank among the world's top 10 countries in export and import turnover by 2045.

  • The US spends over VND 7,300 billion on Vietnamese tuna

    Vietnam's tuna exports to the US reached over US$280 million (VND 7,300 billion) in the first nine months of 2026, up 9% year on year, with the US accounting for nearly 39% of total tuna export value. Growth came mainly from frozen tuna meat and loin, as rivals adjusted output and some importers accelerated contracts and early deliveries ahead of expected US tax policy changes. Across all markets, exports reached nearly US$720 million, up 6%, while September hit nearly US$86 million, up 18%, the fourth straight month of growth. The article says the outlook still faces pressure from costs, import requirements, and traceability and certification rules. It also notes that the Vietnam-EFTA free trade agreement (VEFTA) has been signed but is not yet in force, so its tariff preferences cannot yet apply.

  • Arctic Giant: What the West “Doesn’t Want to Reveal” About Russia’s Northern Border Region

    An RT article argues that Russia, which holds about 53% of the Arctic coastline, sees major economic, commercial and military potential in the region amid competition with the West. As ice melts, Moscow aims to turn the Northern Sea Route into a profitable trade link between Europe and Asia, while the Arctic is warming nearly four times faster than the global average. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas described the region on October 20 as the “frontline of global power competition” and accused Moscow of militarizing it, while Russia denies threatening anyone and says NATO is escalating tensions. Estimates of undiscovered but recoverable resources put the Arctic at about 90 billion barrels of oil and 1,669 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and Russia was the first country to formally submit an extended continental shelf claim to the UN in 2001.

Dominic Scriven of Dragon Capital says upgrading the market's status is key to attracting international capital as large inflows shift toward technology and AI.

  • Rising domestic capital needs push Vietnamese banks to seek funding from international markets

    Credit growth is outpacing deposit mobilisation, prompting Vietnamese banks to expand syndicated loans, bilateral loans and planned international bond issuance to raise medium- and long-term funds. Nguyễn Thanh Tùng, chairman of Vietcombank, said reaching GDP growth of 10% or more would require an investment rate of about 40% of GDP, while domestic savings average only 36.5%. As of end-September 2026, system deposits reached VND 19.5 quadrillion (up 10.7%) and credit reached over VND 20.7 quadrillion (up 11.7%). Infrastructure financing needs for 2026–2030 are estimated at about USD 450 billion, versus roughly USD 3.9 billion mobilised through bonds and equity in 2021–2025. HDBank's USD 721 million syndicated loan, about 60% above its initial USD 450 million target, is one example of banks tapping international funding.

  • Interest rates in early November 2026: Savings deposit rates cool across the board, certificate of deposit rates adjust slightly

    Early-November 2026 rate tables show many banks cut savings deposit rates for at least one term or channel, following State Bank of Vietnam guidance to stabilize interest rate levels. The typical cut is 0.5 percentage points a year, concentrated in terms of 6 months and longer, while rates for terms under 6 months at most banks were kept unchanged due to the 4.75% per year ceiling. NCB cut more sharply by 0.6 percentage points and brought its highest rate down to 6.2% a year, while BAC A BANK's highest rate is 6.6% a year for 12 months. After the adjustments, the highest listed rate is 6.6% a year for 1–6 month terms and 7% a year for terms of 12 months and above, and most banks list 12-month rates below 7% a year. For certificates of deposit, MB and Techcombank made small cuts on October 30, while VPBank still lists a top rate of 9% a year for certificates from VND 100 million in the 184–389 day range.

  • Micron's Chinese Rival CXMT Just Grew Its Sales More Than Sevenfold. I'd Buy Micron Stock Now.

    CXMT, China's largest DRAM maker, reported third-quarter revenue up 613% year over year to about 118.7 billion yuan (roughly $18 billion), driven mainly by a global DRAM shortage that lifted both volumes and prices. Its gross margin of about 89.5% suggests memory prices remain high across the industry, though quarter-on-quarter revenue growth slowed to around 19%. CXMT is still roughly a third the size of Micron, and its global DRAM revenue share was 9.5% versus Micron's 23.3%, per TrendForce. The author sees Micron still benefiting from the shortage, but notes the risk that CXMT's large cash pile could fund capacity expansion, which Micron has warned could lead to oversupply. Micron trades at about 12 times fiscal 2026 earnings, and the author still favors the stock at current prices while suggesting building a position gradually, since memory prices can turn quickly.
