• VN-Index jumps nearly 70 points, why are accounts still in the red?

  VN-Index rose 21.96 points (1.26%) to 1,760.63 in the 22 October session, extending its recovery after two straight gains. Breadth was weak, with 164 stocks falling and 147 rising on HoSE, and liquidity dropped nearly 25% to about VND 15,300 billion, suggesting money flow has not spread evenly.

The article says an index gain does not mean all portfolios rose, so investors need to watch market breadth.

• FPT: Rebirth or Miscalculation?

  FPT rose 1.4% to VND 57,100 per share on October 14, ending a streak of 15 consecutive sessions without a gain. However, foreign investors still net sold nearly VND 550 billion, extending nine consecutive sessions of net selling. Since the start of 2026, foreign investors have net sold more than VND 15,000 billion of FPT shares, pushing foreign ownership below 28%. The company's market capitalization has halved from its record high at the end of January 2025, now at about VND 108,000 billion. BIDV Securities (BSC) said FPT could be removed from the VN-Diamond basket if average foreign ownership fails to exceed 37% during October 2026 to March 2027. However, in the first eight months of the year, revenue rose 13.5% to VND 35,408 billion and pre-tax profit rose 17.5% to VND 7,648 billion, while new contracts signed in international markets reached VND 33,285 billion, up more than 28%.

• Meta Platforms Just Delivered Great News to AI Stock Investors

  Meta announced several stock offerings this week, including a $22.5 billion offering upsized to $25 billion, plans to sell $12.5 billion of preferred stock, and $60 billion of new non-voting Class C stock, totaling $97.5 billion. The move comes amid investor concern over rising interest rates and a tight credit market, after CoreWeave's bond yields reached as high as 15%, which triggered a sell-off in neocloud and AI infrastructure stocks such as Oracle. Media reports said the offering was oversubscribed five times, meaning Meta could have sold $125 billion of stock, with Nvidia and AMD among the investors. The article argues this demand signals strong funding for AI and notes Meta trades at a P/E of around 21 after its post-earnings sell-off. It also suggests some of that money could go to Anthropic's planned IPO at a valuation of around $2 trillion next month.

• Otto Group and Sereact Bring NVIDIA-Powered Physical AI to Returns Processing

  Otto Group and Sereact will deploy AI-controlled dual-arm robots at a logistics center in Poland in two phases, starting with 10 robots and adding 15 more if initial results are positive, for a total of 25. The robots run Sereact's Cortex Physical AI model, which can handle items it has never encountered without product-specific training, and Cortex is trained with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab and Cosmos. Under a Robotics-as-a-Service model, Sereact operates and maintains the systems, while employees shift to supervision, exception handling and quality checks. The project is part of Otto Group's medium-term commitment to invest €350 million in technology and AI, and the group will evaluate a wider rollout across its logistics network if phase two succeeds.

• Why US President Donald Trump Will Ban the Term “AI” (Artificial Intelligence)

  President Donald Trump said he will ban the term “artificial intelligence” from official documents and other areas, calling it inaccurate and preferring “super intelligence” (SI). The executive order says the executive branch will no longer accept “artificial intelligence” and “AI” in appropriate contexts from now on, but does not require agencies to revise existing rules, contracts or documents. Science and technology adviser Michael Kratsios has 60 days to determine how far the new term will replace the current legal definition of “artificial intelligence.” Trump has disliked the term since July 2025, ran a Truth Social poll in September 2026, and after meeting with billionaires who lead AI companies, signed what he called an ethics-binding deal, known as the White House Accord on Super Intelligence.

• Billionaire Ken Griffin Says AI Is "Almost Certainly" in a Bubble. Here's What That Means for Crypto Investors.

  At Citadel’s Future of Global Markets Conference in New York, billionaire Ken Griffin said AI is “almost certainly” in a bubble, while remaining optimistic about companies that survive the bursting. The article says it is hard to tell which AI firms will be winners or losers, which is why the stock market struggles to value many AI stocks. For crypto investors, it outlines shifting capital from AI-linked assets toward more established names such as Bitcoin, which has risen to $80,000 from a summer low of $60,000 and is seen by some as a possible safe haven. It also points to the intersection of AI and blockchain, citing NEAR Protocol, which is up nearly 180% this year, and cautions against crypto firms that have recently pivoted to AI.

• The US signals again to Russia: Washington unexpectedly considers lifting sanctions on Russia's major investment fund

  According to TASS, the US Treasury may review a sanctions exemption request from the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) through its standard process, an anonymous US official said. This is only an initial review and does not mean Washington has decided to lift restrictions; RDIF was placed on the sanctions list on February 28, 2022. RDIF CEO Kirill Dmitriev, who is also Putin's special envoy, is taking part in contacts aimed at boosting Russia-US economic ties and finding a solution to the Ukraine conflict. Earlier, on October 9, President Trump announced a deal with President Putin to bring Russian diesel back to the US and international markets, with planned shipments of about 300,000 tonnes in October, 500,000 tonnes in November and one million tonnes after that. If sanctions are eventually eased, the article says, this could open more room for economic cooperation between the two countries.
