- Nvidia CEO Says All of This Is Going to Pass After Tech Lost $1 Trillion in a Day
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking in Berlin on October 16, 2026, said “all of this is going to pass” after a selloff that wiped more than $1 trillion from tech stocks in one day. The Nasdaq 100 fell 2.5% to 29,187.55, while the Philadelphia semiconductor index dropped 3.8% for its eighth straight losing day, its longest streak since 2008, as oil hit a five-month high. Nvidia slipped 1.43% to $214.13, while AMD, Intel, Micron and Broadcom fell between 4.52% and 5.95%. The article argues the pressure came mainly from oil and Treasury yields, with the 10-year at 5.10%, rather than from AI itself, and notes that Huang announced no new orders or guidance. Investors will look to Nvidia's November 18 earnings, where management guided to fiscal third-quarter revenue of $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%.

- Nvidia’s CEO Says “All of This Is Going to Pass” After Tech Lost $1 Trillion in a Day
On October 16, 2026, tech stocks lost more than $1 trillion in value in a single session as oil and Treasury yields rose. In Berlin, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said “all of this is going to pass” and that AI will benefit every industry, but he announced no new orders, guidance or customers. The Nasdaq 100 fell 2.5% to 29,187.55, and the Philadelphia semiconductor index dropped 3.8%, its eighth straight losing day and longest such streak since 2008. Nvidia slipped 1.43% to $214.13, a $5.17 trillion market value, holding up better than AMD, Intel, Micron and Broadcom. The article argues Huang’s comments do not address the real drivers of the selloff, namely WTI crude at $101.91 on October 14 and the 10-year Treasury yield at 5.10% on October 15, and calls the November 18 earnings report the key test.

- Why have many stocks fallen deeply even though the VN-Index has not broken its October low?
The VN-Index closed October 2026 at 1,741.62 points, down about 27 points from end-September, its second consecutive monthly decline; in the last week of the month it lost 32.53 points (1.83%). The drop was modest, but only tourism and Vingroup-linked stocks moved against the trend that week, while technology fell 7.5% and logistics 6.7%. Excluding Vingroup's support, the rest of the market has already dropped below its October low. October average trading value was 17,183 billion VND, the lowest monthly level of the year, while foreign investors net sold 20,848 billion VND during the month. The article argues that recovery depends on broad-based cash flow returning, not just on index price levels.
- On November 3, the National Assembly debates amendments to the Electricity Law
On November 3, the National Assembly debated the draft amendments to the Electricity Law in plenary, after hearing the proposal and verification report on October 20. Minister of Industry and Trade Lê Mạnh Hùng stressed decentralization linked to implementation capacity, cutting administrative procedures, and removing practical bottlenecks. The government made two major changes: only the Electricity Law will apply to investment approval for power projects, and no special mechanism will be set for urgent power projects to keep construction law uniform. The three-article draft seeks to narrow state monopolies, add electricity bill support for vulnerable groups, use winning bid prices as the basis for power purchase contracts to limit price renegotiation, and allow PPP investment in transmission grids. It also sets a roadmap to reduce and eventually eliminate cross-subsidies between customer groups and introduces incentive pricing for renewable energy and storage.
- North Korea denies links to Binance hack as researchers trace stolen billions
North Korea has rejected U.S. allegations that it was behind the roughly $6.3 billion Binance hack, calling the accusation a “grave political provocation,” according to state media. Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un, criticized the FBI for attributing the attack to the North Korea-linked group TraderTraitor. Blockchain analysts Elliptic and Chainalysis say the hackers used roughly 12,000 wallets across 11 blockchains in the first four days, making more than 40,000 transactions, mostly routed through Tron before moving to Ethereum via cross-chain bridges. About $2.85 billion, or 44% of the $6.43 billion Elliptic says was stolen, has been frozen or seized, while about $3.24 billion remains in linked addresses. Binance said it has covered about 95% of the affected amount and is resuming withdrawals in phases.

- Trump hints at unprecedented move toward Iran ahead of midterm elections
On November 2 (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump said a deal with Iran was feasible after Tehran disclosed indirect talks with Washington and proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz under strict conditions, adding that oil prices had fallen nearly $10 a barrel. He nonetheless called Tehran “not very reliable” and said Washington would wait to see whether Iran truly wants a deal. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had granted the government certain authority to negotiate an end to the conflict with the U.S., while insisting Iran will not surrender. According to The Wall Street Journal, Iranian missile and drone attacks caused estimated damage of $5-15 billion to military facilities hosting U.S. forces in the Middle East, and satellite imagery shows 274 buildings damaged at 24 sites. Washington is reportedly considering scaling back its military presence in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
- Gold holds near $3,950 as Iran peace hopes ease oil, U.S. vote in focus
Spot gold held above $3,950 an ounce after its biggest daily gain in two months, as hopes for progress in U.S.-Iran peace talks eased energy-driven inflation worries. Spot gold rose 0.3% to $3,956.32, while U.S. gold futures slipped 0.1% to $3,966.17. Bullion had climbed 1.9% on Monday after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said his government had gained greater authority from the supreme leader to pursue negotiations, while signals of progress from Trump helped Brent crude fall more than 7%. Gold fell 6.8% in October, dipping below $4,000 to a one-year low, and was also hit as investors sold bullion to cover losses following a retreat in AI-related stocks. Investors are now awaiting U.S. midterm election results, which could shift the outlook for inflation and fiscal deficits.
