World spot gold fell 146 USD on the morning of October 31 to 3,875 USD/ounce, its lowest since October 2025 and more than 30% below the peak of about 5,595 USD/ounce in January 2026. Domestic SJC gold bars dropped 2.4 million VND per tael to 136–139 million VND per tael (buy–sell). The gap between domestic and converted world prices remains near 19 million VND per tael, while the SJC bar buy-sell spread is about 3 million VND per tael, meaning buyers could lose money if they sell immediately at the listed price. PGS.TS Đinh Trọng Thịnh attributes the drop to shifts in US monetary policy expectations, profit-taking after a sharp rally, and changes in capital flows. TS Nguyễn Trí Hiếu identifies five factor groups to watch through the end of 2026: Fed policy, the US dollar and Treasury yields, geopolitics and energy prices, central bank gold buying, and ETF, futures and physical demand flows.

- Geopolitical tensions complicate the gold bull case, says AHG president
Max Baecker, president of American Hartford Gold, says Middle East tensions are complicating the gold outlook, even as central bank buying supports demand. He argues higher energy prices could fuel inflation and tighter monetary policy expectations, strengthening the dollar and weighing on gold, which is why gold does not always rise during a geopolitical crisis. He notes central bank buying has roughly doubled from its pre-2022 average, and the People's Bank of China has increased its gold reserves for 23 consecutive months, with Chinese net gold imports reportedly reaching 316 tonnes in the first quarter. In the near term, he says the Fed sets the pace of gold's moves rather than its direction.
- UBS sees dip buyers stepping in to support gold at this level
UBS says gold may retest support around $4,000 an ounce in the near term, but expects structural dip buyers to set a floor there. Gold has fallen as rising U.S. real yields and a stronger dollar raise the opportunity cost of holding it, though UBS notes its sensitivity to real rates has weakened. Central bank diversification, concerns over public debt, and robust Chinese buying are cited as structural support, with annual central bank purchases expected at 750 to 1,000 metric tons. UBS expects gold to stabilize and resume its uptrend toward year-end and into 2027, viewing pullbacks toward $4,000/oz as opportunities to add exposure.
- SJC gold price today 13/10: Down 800,000 dong per tael across the board
SJC gold bars opened at 140.5–143.5 million VND per tael (buy–sell) on October 13, 2026, down 800,000 VND per tael on both sides from the previous session and down 1.3 million from the morning of October 12. Doji, PNJ and Bảo Tín Mạnh Hải posted similar cuts, and SJC 99.99% gold rings fell by the same amount, with the buy-sell spread at 3 million VND per tael. Internationally, gold traded near $4,168 an ounce, down $16 from the previous morning, after a 0.55% drop on October 12 as a stronger US dollar and higher oil prices weighed. Invesco said higher bond yields could keep pressure on gold in Q4 2026, while central bank buying and demand for gold-backed ETPs should support prices over the longer term, and it warned that prices could swing sharply.
- Gold Prices Decline Towards $4,040 as Stronger Dollar and Fed Rate Outlook Weigh on Bullion
Spot gold fell 0.6% to $4,037.98 per ounce on Wednesday as the US Dollar Index rose 0.1% to 102.42 and investors awaited the Federal Reserve's policy decision, which is widely expected to leave rates unchanged. Markets are still weighing a possible rate hike before year-end amid elevated energy costs and inflation concerns, and will focus on Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference for signals on future policy. Gold briefly traded below $4,000 in recent sessions and hit its lowest level since mid-July on Friday, partly as investors sold bullion to cover losses from the AI-related technology stock selloff. According to ANZ, buying by Chinese households has helped limit the decline, with physical demand strengthening over the past two months.
- Gold prices reverse, rising by 1 million VND
Domestic gold bar prices rose by 1 million VND to 140-143 million VND per lượng (tael) on the morning of 28/10, following a recovery in global gold. Spot gold rebounded to USD 4,050-4,060 per ounce after trading below USD 4,000 earlier in the week; converted at Vietcombank's selling rate, domestic gold bars were about 16 million VND per lượng higher than the global price. Fed officials signaled no further rate hikes at this week's meeting, but CME FedWatch shows markets pricing an 83% chance of a Fed hike in December. A Reuters poll of 30 analysts cut the median full-year gold forecast to USD 4,495 per ounce from USD 4,509 three months earlier, the second straight quarter of downgrades. Analysts expect gold to recover next year as dependence on the US dollar declines.
- Domestic gold bar prices fall to lowest in over two months
On the morning of October 20, SJC quoted gold bars at 139–142 million VND per tael, down 1.1 million VND from the previous close and the lowest since August 5, with other brands adjusting similarly. World gold closed October 19 down over $24 at $4,139 an ounce and was at $4,135 that morning, about 130 million VND per tael, leaving domestic prices more than 12 million VND above international levels. The decline reflects investors awaiting signals from the Fed's meeting next week, amid a stronger US dollar and higher US Treasury yields. Under Decree 390, from October 16, daily gold purchases and sales of 5 million VND or more must be settled without cash, down from the previous 20 million VND threshold.

- Governor: People deposit a lot of money because they trust the banking system
Governor Phạm Đức Ấn explained that credit still carries most of the economy's capital needs because Vietnamese people keep depositing savings, reflecting trust in the banking system, and he expects this balance to shift as capital markets become more attractive. Although short-term deposits make up 80% of total deposits, people roll them over continuously, so deposits function as stable, long-term funding. As of end-August, household deposits reached over 11.43 million billion VND, up nearly 1.1 million billion VND (10.6%) since the start of the year; over the latest five months, net deposit inflows averaged 175,000 billion VND a month, nearly 2.4 times the average of the five months before. After nine months, credit grew 12.27%, deposit rates rose 1.42% while lending rates rose only 0.99%, and real estate lending grew 9.84%. He also urged SMEs to operate more transparently and not keep two balance sheets, so banks can assess their financial health when lending.
- Betting on Archer Aviation or Joby Aviation Being the Tesla of eVTOLs? They Could End Up More Like Lucid.
The article argues that Archer Aviation and Joby Aviation, the highest-profile U.S. eVTOL players, are unlikely to achieve profitability in the consumer market over the next five years and may not reach positive gross margins in that category by the end of 2030. It uses Lucid as an illustration: although its production, deliveries and revenue rose, first-half cost of goods sold climbed to $1.43 billion from $995.3 million, and its gross margin was -112.6%, worse than -101.3% a year earlier. Joby targets four aircraft per month in 2027 and a long-term output of 500 a year, while Archer expects to produce 650 aircraft a year by 2030 but has stopped providing production updates. Neither company has FAA type certification for its flagship commercial aircraft, and the optimistic case depends on replicating Tesla's shift to positive gross margins after the Model S launch in 2012.
- President Trump: Iran wants to negotiate with the US
On October 30, President Donald Trump said Iran wants to keep negotiating, but Washington is in no rush to reach a deal while Tehran faces many difficulties. He dismissed cost concerns, saying any money spent on the conflict with Iran is recouped many times over from Venezuela, about 10 times, though he offered no figures to back this up. Trump also claimed Iran is struggling to pay its soldiers and police, and reiterated that Tehran must be stopped from developing nuclear weapons. He had earlier said the US would not carry out further airstrikes on Iran before the election.
- Roblox Q3 Earnings Call Highlights
Roblox reported third-quarter bookings above the high end of its guidance, driven by retention at its highest level since 2021 and rising engagement. The platform had 138 million daily active users, up 12% sequentially, and nearly 34 billion engagement hours, up 17%. In the U.S., daily active users aged 18 and older grew 18% year over year, and adult users monetize at least 50% more than users under 18. Over 80% of the top 100 games by hours used AI in creation, and Roblox plans a broader U.S. rollout of its Build tool in December. However, the company expects fourth-quarter bookings to decline 10%–15% year over year as infrastructure and marketing spending rise.

- Is the ‘tariff knife’ cutting Trump’s own hand?
A report from Germany’s IW Institute, cited by Reuters, says Donald Trump’s tariff policy has failed to reduce the US trade deficit, which widened to 134.9 billion USD in September, the highest since March 2025. US goods imports hit a record 344.1 billion USD in September, with capital goods up 77.2% year on year, mainly due to investment in data centres and AI equipment, while foreign direct investment into the US fell 8.2% to 248 billion USD in 2025. A Pew Research Center survey found 84% of registered voters said the economy is a very important factor in their vote. Average US diesel prices reached 6.28 USD per gallon on October 23, 2026, up nearly 69% from February 2026, and publicly held federal debt reached 100.03% of GDP in fiscal 2026, the first time since 1946 it has hit 100% at fiscal year-end.
