Latest news
- Despite stalled talks, Trump yet to decide on new Iran strike
On October 31, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said President Donald Trump has not yet decided whether to strike Iran again, amid reports the U.S. could resume attacks after the November 3 midterm elections. Rubio accused Iran of openly and deliberately targeting commercial vessels, while stressing that Trump prefers a diplomatic solution, and declined to comment on negotiations or give a timeline for a deal. Iranian negotiators are meeting Qatari mediators in Doha; Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran has reviewed a letter from U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and called it a “positive step.” According to Reuters, Iranian officials reportedly dislike Qatar's seven-day plan and have proposed their own: the U.S. would lift its blockade of Iranian ports, release frozen assets and approve an Iran-backed shipping arrangement through the Strait of Hormuz. Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned the U.S. and Israel not to carry out further attacks and ordered the armed forces to be ready to respond immediately.
- AI investors rush to hedge against potential tech market downturn - WSJ
According to The Wall Street Journal, investors and technology executives are increasingly seeking protection against a possible downturn in the AI market, as concerns grow over the sustainability of trillions of dollars in AI-related investment. Demand for hedging tools such as put options and credit-default swaps (CDS) has accelerated after sharp declines in tech stocks; the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.9% on Friday, its worst monthly performance since March 2025. CoreWeave has drawn particularly strong demand for downside protection, with trading volumes for put options tied to the company hitting record levels in October, according to Cboe Global Markets. The risk has also spread to corporate debt, as the cost of insuring against defaults by Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Oracle has risen to its highest level since 2021, with Oracle's CDS spreads widening by more than one percentage point. Jump Trading has launched a computing-power trading desk offering derivatives to protect data center operators against falling chip rental prices, as Nvidia B300 rental rates have risen about 56% this year.
- 30% Tax Cut: Over 81% of Enterprises and 99.98% of Household Businesses Benefit

Under it, household businesses and enterprises with annual revenue of up to 10 billion VND get a 30% reduction in tax for this year and next; if revenue exceeds 10 billion VND, they must pay back the reduced tax. Taxpayers determine the reduction themselves when paying tax quarterly or per declaration period, and for 2026, reductions not yet declared will be applied at annual finalization. According to the Ministry of Finance, 99.98% of household businesses and about 81.11% of enterprises are eligible. The policy is expected to reduce state budget revenue by about 6,700 billion VND over 2026–2027.
- KOS Extends Floor-Price Streak to 29 Sessions, but Not a Record: This Is the Name With the Most Dramatic Floor-Price Losing Streak in Vietnam's Stock Market History
Shares of Kosy JSC (KOS) have hit the floor price for 29 consecutive sessions, falling nearly 90% in about six weeks and wiping out thousands of billions of VND in market capitalization. The slide came as securities firms repeatedly force-sold shares held by several executives and organizations linked to Kosy. KOS has not broken the record of 34 consecutive floor-price sessions set by CDO in 2016–2017, though FTM (30 sessions, 2019) and ATG (29 sessions, 2016–2017) also had long streaks. The article notes that when margin-selling pressure hits thinly traded stocks, investors may find it very hard to exit their positions, even after steep price declines.

- Bloom Energy Trades at 140 Times Earnings. Here's the Growth Rate It Needs to Justify That.
Bloom Energy's price-to-earnings ratio has fallen from over 350x to about 140x, after its share price declined and the company reported third-quarter earnings. Third-quarter revenue rose 138% year over year, driven mainly by a 179% increase in fuel cell sales, lifting adjusted quarterly earnings to $0.94 per share, up $0.78 from a year earlier. According to the article, sustaining third-quarter earnings would bring the P/E to about 60x, while doubling earnings would bring it to 30x, slightly below the technology sector average of around 32x. The P/E would also reach 30x if the share price were halved with earnings unchanged. The article warns the stock remains high-risk, as many fear the AI trade has become a bubble.
