- Margin lending relative to market capitalization hits a new record: what is happening?
Total lending at securities firms, including margin loans and advances on sales, is estimated at about VND 455,000 billion at the end of Q3/2026, up VND 10,000 billion from the previous quarter, equal to roughly 5.1% of the market capitalization of the two exchanges and the highest level in history. Meanwhile, HoSE's matched trading value averaged only over VND 13,403 billion per session in September, down more than 60% year on year, and the VN-Index fell nearly 4.7% in Q3. Bùi Văn Huy, General Director of FIDT, says most margin balances are likely in bespoke “deal” loans where shares serve as collateral, though public data cannot precisely determine the share. Balances are concentrated among 18 securities firms with lending above VND 10,000 billion, about two-thirds of which have bank backing. The article also notes that margin balances have grown roughly in line with foreign investors' cumulative net selling of about VND 350,000 billion over roughly the past five years.
- Stock market awaits boost from trading infrastructure
SGI Capital says Vietnam's macro picture after the first three quarters of 2026 still shows bright spots, but the stock market enters the fourth quarter facing two risks: policy pressure and liquidity risk from margin leverage. After the FTSE upgrade, trading liquidity fell below VND 15,000 billion per session and foreign investors turned to heavy net selling, driven by fears of rising global inflation and interest rates. Margin debt at a historically high level is seen as a risk that could trigger forced-sale pressure as cash demand rises in the fourth quarter. Longer term, Circular 145/2026/TT-BTC, effective 16/11/2026, introduces CCP clearing and removes the 100% cash pre-funding (NPF) requirement for foreign institutional investors, which Hàn Hữu Hậu, CEO of Hy Maxpro, called an important upgrade.

EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen said the bloc expects a difficult winter due to high gas and oil prices amid the situation in the Middle East, though there is no direct threat of an energy shortage. EU member states may temporarily use targeted subsidies to support consumers facing high energy prices. Euronews reported that the EU's monthly spending on imported oil rose by 9.9 billion euros in the second quarter of 2026 to 27.6 billion euros, 55.8% higher than a year earlier, compared with an estimated 17.7 billion euros per month in 2025.

On Thursday, Alphabet shares closed 13% lower, their worst single-day drop on record, after it also reported sharply negative free cash flow. Investors are worried about whether the massive AI spending by tech giants will pay off, while Microsoft shares rose after it stayed cash flow positive in the September quarter.

- Will Midterm Elections Cause a Stock Market Crash? 4 Catalysts That Can Push the Trump Bull Market Over the Edge.
The article outlines four catalysts from the midterm elections that could push the Trump bull market over the edge for the Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq. According to Retirement Researcher, the S&P 500 posted the lowest average annual return (7.33%) under a Republican president with a divided Congress, while Polymarket shows a 66% chance that Democrats sweep both the House and Senate. A divided Congress would make major tax and spending laws less likely but raise the risk of debt-ceiling disputes, with the ceiling expected to be reached by early to mid-2027. U.S. total debt has passed $40 trillion, and the FY2026 deficit reached $1.99 trillion, up 12% from the prior year, keeping long-duration Treasury yields near quarter-century highs. If Democrats control the House and/or Senate, AI regulation could be tightened further, although Trump would retain veto power.
- IMF: This year, Vietnam's GDP per capita will officially surpass that of the largest economy in Southeast Asia
According to the IMF's October 2026 World Economic Outlook, Vietnam's nominal GDP per capita in 2026 is forecast at USD 5,259, above Indonesia's USD 5,153 and ranking fifth in ASEAN. The figure rises 8.9% from USD 4,829 in 2025 and reaches USD 7,105 by 2030, the highest growth among the 11 ASEAN economies. The IMF still projects Vietnam's GDP growth at 8.4% this year, below the government's target of at least 10%. Q3 GDP is estimated to have grown 9.95%, and 9-month growth of 9.01% is the highest in 15 years, supported by public investment, FDI and exports. Mai Fujita, a senior researcher at Japan's Institute of Developing Economies (IDE), says Vietnam also needs to develop human resources and technology to sustain long-term growth.
