TKG Taekwang Cần Thơ said its orders are still growing, but a shortage of workers in Cần Thơ means it cannot fulfil them all, so it has shifted some orders to its plants in other provinces. The company is expanding phase 2 of its factory and plans to grow its workforce to 35,000 over the next five years, hiring 17,000 more. Another enterprise raised land allocation and lease hurdles at Hưng Phú 1 Industrial Park, while others asked for help connecting labour supply and for worker housing and dormitory policies. Cần Thơ People's Committee Chairman Trương Cảnh Tuyên pledged to resolve issues within the city's authority and urged businesses to raise productivity and capacity.

- Private sector growth in India hits 4 - month high in October , but hiring slows
Private-sector business activity in India expanded at its fastest pace since June in October, with HSBC's Flash Composite Output Index rising to 56.7 from 55.9 in September, though still below the 2026 average. New business from abroad grew at its fastest rate in six months, with orders from the US, UK, Middle East and Bangladesh. Companies were more cautious on hiring: employment rose only marginally, the services workforce was unchanged after nine months of gains, and backlogs of work fell for the third time in four months, at a pace matching August 2021. The manufacturing PMI eased to 54.9 from 55.1.
- India business activity hits 4 - month high in October : PMI data
The HSBC Flash India Composite Output Index rose to 56.7 in October from 55.9 in September, its strongest growth since June, as stronger domestic and overseas demand lifted new orders. Export orders rose at the fastest pace in six months, and the manufacturing PMI came in at 54.9. Employment growth slowed, with services companies halting net job additions after nine consecutive months of growth, while manufacturers added workers only marginally. Input cost inflation and selling price pressures continued to ease, and outstanding work declined for the third time in four months, at the joint fastest rate in six and a half years.
- China's Solar Bubble Bursts: Over 40,000 Jobs Cut, Prices Down 63%
Five major Chinese solar manufacturers, Longi Green Energy, Trina Solar, Jinko Solar, JA Solar and Tongwei, cut 40,589 employees in 2025, leaving 154,061 staff, a 21% reduction after a 31% cut in 2024. The main driver is production capacity roughly double global demand, which has pushed prices down and left many firms loss-making. Average module prices for the group fell to about US$130/kW in 2025 from US$350/kW in 2019, a drop of nearly 63%, while the average EBIT margin worsened to -13% from -8% in 2024. China's exports of solar cells and modules fell 10% in volume over the first 8 months, and Jefferies forecasts 150-200 GW of Chinese solar installations in 2026 versus a record 315 GW in 2025. Morningstar analyst Cheng Wang expects job cuts to likely continue this year.
- China economic growth picks up as exports boom
China's third-quarter economic growth came in at 4.5%, rebounding from three-year lows and beating forecasts, as a surge in exports offset consumers' tight spending. Analysts warn that growing reliance on external drivers is deepening structural imbalances, while the property market remains in a downturn that has eroded household wealth over the past five years. Weak domestic demand has pushed firms such as Zhang Chao's motorbike headlight maker to shift toward exports, while fierce price wars are forcing companies to cut costs, including payroll. Trade surpluses with Germany and France each jumped more than 200% year-on-year in September, prompting the EU to agree to limit hybrid car exports and plan further curbs. The 5.2% unemployment rate may be flattered by the gig economy, where anyone working even one hour a week counts as employed; Societe Generale economist Michelle Lam warns that without a shift toward supporting household incomes, China risks a prolonged period of low inflation and sub-par growth.
- China Opens 'Century Canal' as Multiple Shipping Routes Shift: What Opportunities for Vietnam?
Lucio Blanco Pitlo III, a board member of a Chinese studies association in the Philippines, writes that the 134.2 km Binglu Canal links the Beibu Gulf with inland waterways in Guangxi, shortening sea access for southwest China and giving ASEAN countries a new route to Western markets via the China-Europe rail network. The 72.7 billion yuan (about $10.8 billion) project, completed in four years, opened on September 16 to vessels of up to 5,000 tons. Guangxi officials forecast logistics costs will fall 18-30%, saving over 5 billion yuan ($745 million) a year. Container throughput at Beibu Gulf Port rose from 2.28 million TEU in 2017 to 10.06 million TEU last year. The author says Vietnam could benefit considerably from its proximity, citing a container ship that carried 40 containers of Vietnamese rice bran on a round trip from Nanning to Can Tho.

- Bitcoin nears $81,000 ahead of Fed decision as ZEC jumps 8%
Bitcoin rose nearly 2% to just under $81,000 in Wednesday's Asian morning session, recovering from a weekend dip to nearly $79,000 as traders awaited the Federal Reserve's rate decision. Among major cryptocurrencies, ZEC led with an 8% jump to about $1,320, HYPE gained nearly 5%, and XRP and DOGE rose roughly 3%. Galaxy said Bitcoin's bear market likely ended in June, when it traded below $58,000, and that the asset is now in an accumulation phase, citing its return above the 50-week moving average, lighter selling pressure and rising U.S. debt. Traders will watch Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference for hints of a December rate hike, while a daily close above $82,500 could signal the recovery is gaining momentum.

- Robinhood’s Tenev warns US tokenization uncertainty deters ‘serious assets’
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says uncertainty over how long US tokenization rules will last could keep investors from putting substantial assets into tokenized markets, even though the SEC has opened a temporary path through an innovation exemption. He says further rulemaking or legislation is needed to provide longer-term certainty, and Binance Research projects the tokenized equities market could reach $349 billion by 2030 under its base case, from $4.43 billion as of Sept. 15. In the third quarter, Robinhood's crypto revenue fell 55% year on year to $120 million and crypto notional trading volume fell 38% to $50 billion. By contrast, event-contract revenue rose sixfold to $173 million, and total net revenue rose 12% to a record $1.42 billion, below analyst expectations. Adjusted EPS was $0.60, missing estimates by 4 cents.
- Is Anthropic a SaaS Stock? Here's How It Stacks Up With the Other Top Software Players
Anthropic has released its S-1 filing ahead of what could be the biggest IPO ever, targeting a valuation of around $2 trillion. Although it is often called an AI lab, the company shares several traits with SaaS stocks: it sells Claude and Claude Code through monthly subscriptions and reports metrics such as customers by annual recurring revenue (ARR), with more than 11,900 customers at $10,000 or more ARR as of the end of the third quarter. Sales, marketing and partnerships took less than 20% of revenue in the first half of 2026, and the company had 5,300 employees at the end of the third quarter, far fewer than Salesforce's roughly 83,000. Based on third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion (annualised to $67 billion), the $2 trillion valuation implies a price-to-sales ratio of around 30, close to Datadog at 25.4 and Snowflake at 21.9. The article says this looks relatively low given sequential revenue growth of nearly 50% and adjusted profitability, though the stock carries risks such as large cloud spending commitments.
