According to Nutifood, the project's sponsor, the roughly 3,000-ton pedestrian bridge span is being lowered from the Dai Dung Group factory onto a barge overnight on October 15, with completion expected around 3 a.m. on October 16. The barge will stay moored for one day on October 17 for checks before being towed to the former District 2 area on October 18-19, with the span joined on October 21. The project missed its planned launch for the September 2 National Day because the barge Trung Nam S05 was committed to Petrovietnam oil and gas projects, and bad weather at sea delayed the handover. The bridge is about 720 meters long, with a 187-meter central span, and construction began on April 30, 2025 with total investment of nearly 1,000 billion VND.

- LIVE : Two oil tankers reportedly hit mines in Strait of Hormuz , Iran says
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps said two oil tankers carrying a combined 4 million barrels of crude caught fire after hitting naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, according to IRNA; the vessel names and cargo origin were not immediately available. The IRGC alleged both ships had switched off their positioning and radar systems and used an unauthorized route, with one reportedly crossing with US support, though these claims have not been independently verified. Tehran now requires vessels to obtain Iranian authorisation before transiting the strait, while the US has imposed a naval counter-blockade on Iranian oil exports. Kpler data showed oil transits fell from about 20.8 million barrels on October 8 to 2.9 million barrels on October 11. Separately, a tugboat near Khor Fakkan in the UAE was struck by two unidentified projectiles, sustaining damage and one minor injury, but continued its journey.
- More drops for AI stocks drag Wall Street lower after whipping around the world
AI stocks fell again on Thursday, pulling the Nasdaq Composite down 0.4%, while the Dow rose 440 points, or 0.9%, and the S&P 500 was roughly flat as most U.S. stocks climbed. The AI sell-off began on Wall Street Wednesday and spread abroad, sending South Korea's Kospi down 7.6% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 4.9%, as worldwide bond yields hit multi-year highs and fueled concern about heavy AI spending funded by debt. CoreWeave fell 5.2% after a 15.5% drop the day before, and Nvidia slipped 1.9%. TSMC's profit beat expectations, yet its U.S.-listed shares fell 2.6%. Marsh & McLennan rose 6.4% after a stronger-than-expected quarterly profit, and the 10-year Treasury yield fell to 5.07% from 5.19%.

- Bank shares drop as John Healey prepares to raise taxes on the banking sector in the budget – business live
According to the Guardian, Chancellor John Healey is poised to raise tax revenue from UK banks in the 28 October budget to repair public finances damaged by the Middle East war. One option under discussion is reversing Jeremy Hunt's cut to the bank surcharge, which could raise upwards of £2bn a year by lifting the surcharge from 3% to around 8%. The industry trade body UKFinance warned that further bank tax increases would weaken competitiveness, discourage investment and job creation. Lloyds and NatWest shares fell around 2%, far less than the roughly 6% drop expected if the surcharge rose by 5 percentage points, and one analyst said much of the bad news is already priced in. Elsewhere, South Korea's Kospi fell 14.5% in its worst week since October 2008 as investors worried about borrowing, spending and profitability at AI companies.
- Meta Unveils Powerful Muse Wonder AI Models To Directly Compete With OpenAI
Meta launched Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, which the company calls its most capable AI models yet. Muse Wonder will soon power the Muse personal AI agent for subscribers, while Muse Wonder Full is available to Muse Code subscribers, Meta's AI coding tool. The launch is seen as a direct challenge to OpenAI and Anthropic, after Mark Zuckerberg pledged billions of dollars and hired top researchers over the past year. Meta stock rose about 4% in afternoon trading. Q2 revenue was $60.8 billion, up 28%, but Meta expects 2026 capital expenditures of $130 billion to $145 billion, and free cash flow was only $784 million last quarter. Susan Li also warned that youth-related trials scheduled this year could result in a material loss.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.

The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14%, and U.S. crude rose to $103.50 a barrel and Brent to $109.47, as uncertainty about when the energy industry will return to normal after the war with Iran means oil is unlikely to ease soon.

- What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?
X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase. The article says the deal offers commercial validation for X-Energy's reactor platform rather than immediate financial relief, as the company, with a $4.3b market cap, reported $150.28 million in revenue, a $448.87 million loss, and a 20.2x price-to-sales ratio. The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
