- Why Did AAPL, KO, KDP Stocks Hit 52-Week Highs Today?
Apple, Coca-Cola and Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) hit fresh 52-week highs on Thursday, lifted by strong early demand for Apple's new foldable phones, improving sentiment toward beverage makers and bullish analyst views. Apple reached an all-time high of $348.36 as sales of its iPhone Duo began, with early demand reportedly exceeding supply and delivery dates moved to late January. Coca-Cola hit a record $95.37 and is on track for its strongest annual performance since 1996, also helped by the resignation of Calley Means, a health adviser to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which may signal that tougher federal food restrictions could be delayed, and by KFC's plan to switch to Coca-Cola beverages from January. KDP hit an annual high of $35.4 after JPMorgan raised its price target to $39 from $38 while keeping an 'Overweight' rating, ahead of its November 3 third-quarter results. So far this year, the three stocks have gained between 24% and 36%.
- Nasdaq dives 2 . 6 % as U . S . and Israel gear up for more attacks on Iran
U.S. stocks other than the Dow fell on Thursday, led by a sell-off in technology shares, after reports that Israel and the United States plan to resume bombing Iran after the midterm elections sent oil prices higher. The Nasdaq Composite was hit hardest, dropping 694.00 points, or 2.60%, to 26,008.86, while the S&P 500 fell 93.78 points, or 1.21%, to 7,663.39. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 10.76 points, or 0.02%, to 52,866.85. Demand for Treasury bonds spiked, pushing prices up and yields down. Most markets in Asia and Europe also closed lower, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng down 3.03%, Japan's Nikkei 225 down 2.65%, South Korea's KOSPI down 3.52% and Germany's DAX down 1.07%; Brussels' BEL 20 was a rare gainer, up 1.97%.
- S & P 500 , Nasdaq end sharply lower as revived AI doubts ignite tech selloff
The S&P 500 ended deep in negative territory, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 2.6%, dragged by chipmakers, as renewed doubts about AI spending hit the sector after earnings reports. Meta slid 7.0% despite beating expectations, after posting its first cash outflow in over a decade due to AI-related expenditures, while Tesla fell 3.1% even though it posted positive free cash flow. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor Index plunged 6.7%, though it remains up 51.5% this year. Crude prices hit a five-month high after Iran-backed Houthis launched new strikes on Saudi targets, and markets are pricing in a chance the Fed raises its policy rate by another 25 basis points before year-end. Meanwhile, 83% of the 111 S&P 500 companies that have reported beat analyst expectations.

- Jim Cramer Calls CoreWeave the "Real Deal," but the Stock Crashed 15% the Very Next Day. Should You Buy the Dip?
Jim Cramer called CoreWeave (CRWV) the “real deal” on Mad Money, but the stock fell about 15% less than 24 hours later, on Oct. 14. The immediate catalyst was an essay by Chamath Palihapitiya noting that CoreWeave’s $1.25 billion bond due 2032 briefly yielded 15% in the secondary market, versus 9.6% at issue in June. Investors are worried about debt, which stood at about $35.1 billion at the end of Q2 2026, or $51.6 billion including leases. In the first half of 2026, operating cash flow was about $3.7 billion against $6.2 billion in principal and interest payments, and consensus expects negative free cash flow of $25 billion in 2026. The author considers the stock too speculative for most long-term investors and would not rush to buy the dip.
- Billionaire Ken Fisher and Jim Cramer Still Like Apple (AAPL). Should You?
Apple has launched the iPhone 18 Pro lineup and the iPhone Duo, its first foldable phone, while reports say it asked suppliers to cut component orders. Parks Associates reports that 62% of US internet households own at least one Apple device, but only about 25% own three or more, leaving room to sell more devices, with the $299 HomeView display as an example. Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management says a large hardware upgrade cycle could begin in mid to late 2027 because on-device AI favors Apple. On the other side, surging memory costs led Apple to raise US prices on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max by $100, and early demand looks soft, with shorter pre-order waiting times than last year. Higher prices may protect revenue, but fewer buyers would reduce the device volume that drives its services business.

Techcombank posted VND 28,900 billion (up 23.7%), while LPBank reported VND 10,421 billion (up nearly 9%).

- World's Largest Gold Fund Dumps Over 10 Tonnes of Gold as Prices Slide
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, continued net selling of nearly 12 tonnes of gold in the 22/10 session, bringing total sales over 2 sessions to nearly 15 tonnes and cutting its holdings to about 1,046 tonnes. Spot gold fell more than 2.8% to around USD 4,025 per ounce at the close of 22/10, and briefly dipped below USD 4,000 per ounce in the morning session of 23/10. Tensions in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices higher, raising concerns about inflation and further Fed tightening, and gold has still not attracted sustained safe-haven demand even as US Treasury yields fell. US September CPI rose 0.6% month on month and 3.7% year on year, while PPI rose 1.3% and 6.3%. Markets price about an 84% chance the Fed holds rates steady at its 27-28/10 meeting and a 16% chance of a 25 basis-point increase; September PCE data due on 29/10 is the next key factor to watch.

The State Bank's central rate was set at 25,627 VND/USD, down 5 dong, while Vietcombank quoted 25,660-26,040 VND/USD (buy-sell).
- Company Linked to Billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong Announces Major Good News
VEFAC (ticker VEF), a Vingroup subsidiary, posted Q3 net revenue of nearly VND 77 billion, up 67% year on year, but a gross loss of about VND 27 billion as cost of sales from its exhibition business exceeded revenue. Q3 profit rose mainly thanks to a gross gain of about VND 65 billion from transferring some schools in a project to a partner, while financial income reached over VND 388 billion, mostly from loan and investment income. For the first nine months of 2026, after-tax profit was nearly VND 865 billion, down about 94% from VND 15,418 billion in the same period of 2025, as the prior year included large gains from transferring part of the Vinhomes Global Gate project. As of 30/9/2026, total assets stood at over VND 31,905 billion, up 36% from the start of the year, while total liabilities exceeded VND 24,364 billion, with short-term customer advances rising from VND 411 billion to over VND 8,373 billion.
- Lotte and Phat Dat Officially Break Ground on VND 60,000 Billion Mega Project in Thu Thiem 'Golden Land'
A joint venture between Lotte Group (South Korea) and Phát Đạt (HoSE: PDR) officially broke ground on 23/10 on Lotte Eco Smart City Thu Thiem in the Thu Thiem New Urban Area, HCMC, with total investment of about VND 60,000 billion.

Lotte Properties HCMC paid VND 17,569 billion in land-use fees on 31/7/2026, and Phát Đạt completed its VND 7,666 billion payment to take its 35% stake.

- International Business : Global stocks nosedive as Meta dents AI optimism
Global stocks retreated as tech earnings failed to ease concerns about the AI outlook, with MSCI's All-World index set for its largest daily fall in two weeks, down 0.4 per cent. Meta beat third-quarter revenue expectations, but its plan to issue non-voting stock revived worries about its mounting capital commitments, and a New Mexico judge ordered it to pay a $25 billion penalty in a data privacy case. Brent crude rose nearly 3% to $112 a barrel, near a five-month high, after more Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia raised supply risks. Investors moved into government bonds, pushing the US 10-year yield down to 5.05%, below France's for the first time in 13 years, while French yields have climbed above 5% amid concerns over social unrest and debt. The France-Germany 10-year spread reached 177.7 basis points, its widest since 2011, while gold fell 1.8% to $4,070 an ounce.
