The draft amendment to the 2024 Social Insurance Law, submitted by the Government under document No. 865/TTr-CP dated 07/10/2026, proposes phasing in compulsory coverage for workers without employment contracts and platform workers. It also clarifies that recipients of monthly social pension allowances are covered by neither compulsory nor voluntary social insurance, and lets individuals join supplementary pension insurance directly on a voluntary basis. On payments, it would remove the 12-month cap on written authorizations to receive pensions and benefits, and move payments to beneficiaries' bank accounts, including for people living abroad. The draft also revises lump-sum retirement allowances under Article 64 or 65 of the 2024 Law, updates lump-sum survivor benefits and maternity allowances for voluntary contributors, and restructures agencies to match two-tier local government.

- Mint Explainer| How Sebi changes to bonds could help NBFCs
Sebi's October 7 circular raises the number of ISINs an issuer can have maturing in a financial year from 14 to 17, with six extra codes for Section 54EC capital gains tax bonds issued on a private placement basis. Of the 17, up to 12 can be plain-vanilla debt securities, and up to five are set aside for structured, market-linked, floating-rate, zero-coupon and Tier II bonds. Government-serviced, Extra Budgetary Resources and ESG debt securities are excluded from these limits. The changes aim to reduce bunching of repayments and refinancing risk, especially for NBFCs that must match borrowing schedules with lending cash flows. As an example, a bond issued two years ago at a 6.5% coupon may need refinancing when current rates are closer to 8%.
- Can the SEC and CFTC’s pro-crypto rules be overturned? Legal opinion
After the Senate's failed CLARITY cloture vote, the SEC and CFTC issued their own pro-crypto rules, including a five-year exemption allowing stock tokens to be issued and traded. Critics warn that agency rules are easier to rescind, a concern heightened by the Trump-appointed commissioners' reversal of Gary Gensler-era policies and by the 2024 Loper Bright ruling, which overturned Chevron and means courts need not defer to agency interpretations. Yuriy Brisov of D&A Partners argues that agencies have rulemaking power under the Exchange Act of 1934, but rules that impose unbearable burdens can be challenged in court, as in Business Roundtable v. SEC in 2011. The article also notes that a community bank group is suing the OCC for allowing crypto firms to obtain national trust bank charters.
- Australia seeks feedback on crypto platform rules ahead of 2027 rollout
ASIC opened consultation on proposed capital, custody and trading rules for crypto platforms, as it prepares to implement legislation passed in April. The three alternative capital models include one requiring operators without qualifying third-party custody to hold at least 14 million Australian dollars ($9.7 million) in net tangible assets or 10% of average revenue, whichever is greater. Other proposals include restrictions on platforms trading for their own account, quarterly reporting of wallets holding customer assets, and allowing offshore custody, while seeking feedback on emergency access to private keys if an overseas parent fails. Industry figures welcomed the standards, with OKX Australia's CEO saying they could drive consolidation. Feedback is due Nov. 27, with final standards targeted for March 2027 and the law taking effect April 8, 2027.
- A series of changes to Vietnam's key stock index rules
According to ACBS, HOSE published a new index rulebook on 29/09/2026 to standardize its documentation, making information more consistent and easier to look up, with little impact on stock selection criteria. The 13 documents, grouped into five categories, now follow a two-tier structure: general rules that apply to all indices, and rules specific to each index. The biggest change is that results announcements move from the third week of month T to the first week of month T+1, with the buffer to the effective date fixed at two weeks. Other updates include adding a criterion to exclude stocks warned for information disclosure violations between the data cutoff and effective dates, counting shareholders holding 4% to under 5% as non-free-float holders, and shortening the notice period for exceptional basket changes from 5 to 4 working days.
- Big earnings reports , homebuilding and the mood of consumers up front next week
Major U.S. corporations, including technology companies and airlines, will release quarterly results this week, alongside new data on jobs and consumer sentiment. FactSet analysts expect S&P 500 profit growth of just under 30%, led by energy and followed by tech; General Motors, Hasbro and Netflix report Tuesday, and United Airlines is expected to post slimmer profits on Wednesday. Tesla is also expected to show slimmer profits, while Meta and IBM are expected to report profit growth as investors weigh whether big AI spending will pay off. The September housing starts report due Tuesday is expected to show homebuilding edged higher after two months of declines, despite high mortgage rates and rising construction costs. KB Home and Lennar are down more than 20% in 2026, compared with a 14% rise in the S&P 500, while September retail sales rose 0.8% (0.2% excluding gas stations) and wholesale food prices jumped 1.2%.

- Russia fires mysterious weapon at Kyiv, shockwaves spread; President Putin appears in rare image, drawing global attention
On the night of 18 Oct, Russia launched a coordinated strike on multiple Ukrainian targets using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and Geran UAVs, focused on Kyiv. According to TST, around 10 ballistic missiles of the Iskander-M, S-400 or KN-23 types may have been used in the first wave; an above-ground metro station on Kyiv's left bank was reported damaged, disrupting rail and metro services, and videos of blue flashes led observers to suspect a new weapon. In western Ukraine, a 330 kV transformer station near Kovel may have been targeted. Meanwhile, Putin, who rarely appears in military uniform, visited a command post and stressed establishing a “security zone” along the border; blogger Yuri Podolyaka argued Moscow no longer treats these areas as bargaining chips. Front-line correspondent Alexander Kots said the part of Donetsk still controlled by Ukraine is just over 2,700 km².
- Semiconductor Sell-Off: 5 Stocks to Buy on the Dip
The article attributes the semiconductor selloff to investor doubts about the durability of AI infrastructure spending, even as cloud companies report strong demand for AI chips. It highlights five stocks: Nvidia (forward P/E just above 13.5 on fiscal 2028 estimates), Broadcom (custom AI chips, with that revenue expected to quadruple to $230 billion over two years; forward P/E of 11), AMD (riding inference and agentic AI demand), Cerebras Systems (high risk-reward; the company claims 30 times the inference speed of GPUs) and TSMC (forward P/E of 18 on 2027 estimates).
- Tom Lee’s Bitmine Adds $30 Million in Ethereum as Buying Nears Its Finish Line
Bitmine bought another 12,535 ETH (about $30 million), lifting its holdings to 6,041,481 ETH, or 4.9% of supply and 99% of its 5% target. Chairman Tom Lee blamed the crypto selloff on a broad risk-off shift, including AI funding and safety worries, U.S.-Iran tensions, midterm jitters and rising bond yields, and called the dip a historically attractive risk-reward entry. Total holdings reached $15.1 billion as of Oct. 18, including 215 Bitcoin, $582 million in cash and marketable securities, and other investments. About 84% of its ETH (5,067,309 tokens) is staked via its MAVAN platform, with projected annualized revenue of roughly $309 million. The position is currently underwater on paper because much of it was bought at higher prices.
- Opinion: The Most Important Number in Taiwan Semiconductor's Earnings Report Was 68%
The author argues the most important figure in TSMC's Q3 report is 68%, the share of revenue from high-performance computing (HPC), which grew 22% from the prior quarter. Revenue reached $46.72 billion, up 41.2% year over year, net income rose 68.7%, and gross margin hit 66.4%. Processes at 7nm and below made up 79% of wafer revenue, with 3nm at 33% and 2nm at 8%. TSMC guided Q4 revenue to $52.3–54.3 billion and expects roughly 44% full-year growth in U.S. dollars. The author remains bullish, saying ongoing demand for advanced AI chips should keep profits rising.
- Why Meta's Q3 earnings could be a little hard to interpret
Meta is reporting its third-quarter earnings after the market closes Wednesday, and Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi says the report will be hard to interpret. Recent good news on Meta's AI products, including new models and an AI agent, may not appear directly in the results but will likely be discussed on the earnings call. The key uncertainty is how investors will react if Meta raises its capex outlook again: it could be seen as fueling those products, or as overspending on offerings not yet reflected in financials. Sozzi expects the market to give Meta the benefit of the doubt on higher capex, as long as the increase does not shock investors.
