- Limited credit ratings for Vietnamese bank bonds make risk pricing difficult for investors
VIS Rating's report says domestic credit ratings for Vietnamese bank bonds remain limited, even though banks are the largest issuers, accounting for about 46% of outstanding corporate bond value as of end-September 2026. At end-2025, only 2 of 28 commercial banks analysed had domestically rated bonds, about 7%, compared with roughly 60% in Thailand and above 75% in Malaysia, South Korea and China. Overall, only about 12% of outstanding corporate bond value is domestically rated, versus 96% in Thailand. Mandatory rating rules do not cover most bank bonds: public offerings of bank bonds are exempt, and privately placed bonds sold only to institutional investors are not mandatory either. VIS Rating says broader ratings would help investors compare risk across the largest bond issuers.
- IDJ Investment Vietnam fined for late information disclosure
The State Securities Inspectorate fined IDJ Investment Vietnam JSC (IDJ, HNX) 92.5 million VND for publishing its 2025 audited separate and consolidated financial statements and its 2025 annual report at least 15 days late. Its reviewed first-half 2026 consolidated net revenue fell 86.9% to about 87.9 billion VND, mainly because real estate revenue dropped from over 612 billion VND to 69.7 billion VND, linked to the Apec Mandala Wyndham Mui Ne project. After cost of sales, gross profit was negative by nearly 12.3 billion VND, and the company posted a net loss of nearly 37.7 billion VND for the six months, compared with a profit of nearly 18.1 billion VND a year earlier. Total assets stood at over 3,214.3 billion VND as of September 30, 2026, slightly lower than at the start of the year.
- Gold slips after Fed holds rates, PCE inflation data in focus
Spot gold fell 0.4% to $4,051.91 an ounce after the Fed held its benchmark rate unchanged in a 10-2 vote. Chair Kevin Warsh said the Fed could cut its scheduled policy meetings from eight to six annually starting next fall. Traders still expect a rate increase in December as high energy prices complicate efforts to control inflation, and they are waiting for Thursday's September PCE data. Gold has fallen 2.5% in October and is on track for a second straight monthly decline, after some investors sold bullion to cover losses from last week's AI-driven stock rout. Goldman Sachs estimates central banks bought 79 tonnes of gold in August, with China accounting for 25 tonnes; Rick Kanda of The Gold Bullion Company said sustained central-bank demand could support prices over the long term.
- Update on profits of 18 banks as of the morning of October 29: VIB and TPBank report, one bank's profit up 4.5 times year on year
Eighteen banks reported a combined pre-tax profit of nearly 141,600 billion VND for the first nine months of 2026. NCB posted about 1,574 billion VND, up 141%, and its third-quarter pre-tax profit rose 346% year on year to over 847 billion VND. VIB's nine-month pre-tax profit was nearly 7,600 billion VND, up 8% and equal to 65% of its full-year plan, with its non-performing loan ratio at 2.29%. TPBank reported 7,464 billion VND, up 23.4% and equal to 72% of its annual plan, while BVBank earned 825 billion VND, up 90%, reaching about 118% of its 700 billion VND full-year target.
- The U.S. has spent nearly $50 billion on the war with Iran
According to a U.S. Central Command estimate submitted to Congress, military spending on the Iran war reached $47.1 billion as of mid-October, according to analysts citing the Telegram channel Military Chronicle. Of this, over $29 billion went to replenishing munitions such as interceptor missiles and air-to-air weapons, about $12 billion to operations and support, and $6.1 billion to replacing lost or damaged equipment. These figures exclude the cost of rebuilding U.S. bases in the Middle East damaged by Iranian missile and drone attacks, so the total could be substantially higher, possibly doubling. Analysts estimate continued operations would cost an extra $2-3 billion per month, while Moody's Analytics says each American household has lost about $2,000 through higher fuel prices, freight costs and borrowing costs. Trump is reportedly weighing a resumption of large-scale operations after the November 3 midterm elections.
- The Fed Holds Interest Rates in a 10–2 Vote. Here's What This Means for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks.
The Fed held its benchmark rate at 3.75%-4%, but the decision was not unanimous: the vote was 10–2, with Lisa Cook and Beth Hammack voting for a quarter-point rate increase and giving no explanation. After Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference, the S&P 500 gave up its brief early gain, while the VanEck Semiconductor ETF rose 1.7% against the index's 0.3%. AI infrastructure stocks are highly sensitive to rates because many are borrowing tens of billions of dollars to build data centers; CoreWeave (CRWV) gained 5.6% in the regular session. Warsh called the decision a 'hawkish skip', implying possible future hikes, and CME FedWatch shows a 78% chance of a rate hike at the December meeting.
