The Ministry of Construction has directed project owners and management boards to tighten control over the pace, volume and value of public investment disbursement in 2026, with just over 2 months left in the year. Operations must follow the “6 clears” principle: clear people, tasks, timelines, responsibilities, products and authority. Project owners must draft detailed construction schedules, specify completed volumes, disbursement values and plans for transferring capital between projects. Contractors on delayed projects must immediately resolve land clearance, materials and weather issues, with progress reviewed weekly and monthly. Disbursement results will be a criterion for assessing performance, and delayed contractors will be sanctioned, publicly listed on the National Bidding Network System and reported to the Ministry.

- Over 3,000 km of Ho Chi Minh Highway from Cao Bang to Ca Mau nearing completion
On the morning of 18/10, Minister of Construction Tran Hong Minh, on behalf of the Prime Minister, reported on implementing National Assembly Resolution 66/2013 and concluding investment in the Ho Chi Minh Highway, a 3,183 km route from Pac Bo (Cao Bang) to Dat Mui (Ca Mau). The project is expected to be substantially completed end to end at a minimum 2-lane scale by the end of this year, using National Highways 32 and 21. So far, 2,488 of the 2,744 km main route is complete, 168.5 km across three projects is under construction, and 777.5 km has been upgraded to expressway standard. The National Assembly's Committee on Science, Technology and Environment said the project is 6 years behind the 2020 target, with the Rach Soi - Ben Nhat and Go Quao - Vinh Thuan sections pushed to Q1/2027. The committee urged the government to reconcile project data, quantify extra costs from the delays, and assign responsibility to each agency.
- Prime Minister Le Minh Hung requests at least a 30% further cut in public investment projects, concentrating capital on key projects with wide-reaching impact
Prime Minister Le Minh Hung said that in this term, the Central Government requires cutting public investment projects by at least 30% further, after the previous term saw about 5,000 projects nationwide, to concentrate resources on projects with broad impact. Investment efficiency should be assessed across the full project lifecycle, covering social benefits and contributions to infrastructure, living standards and social security, with priority for poverty reduction, support for ethnic minority and disadvantaged areas, national defense and security, health, education and culture. The draft amended public investment law proposes dropping the separate investment policy approval step for Group C projects, which made up over 60% of projects in the recent period, and integrating those contents into the investment decision step, while Group A, Group B and nationally important projects would still require that step. The Prime Minister also stressed the leading role of the central budget and that simplifying procedures must go hand in hand with strict control.
- What did Coteccons' leadership say as turnover at CTD surged and staff were offered salaries 2-3 times higher?
According to Vietcap's report after Coteccons' (CTD) FY2027 AGM, management acknowledged an industry-wide shortage of engineers and construction workers. CTD's turnover rose above its historical level but remains below the industry average, mostly among young staff with 1-2 years of experience, some lured by salaries 2-3 times higher. CTD says it will not match every competitive pay offer, instead focusing on a consistent pay framework, training, and succession planning. The FY2027 plan targets revenue of VND 42,000 billion (+22%) and after-tax profit of VND 1,050 billion (+33%), while Q1 preliminary revenue was VND 11,270 billion but new contract value fell 25%. Vietcap notes more quarters are needed to judge whether gross margins above 5% can be sustained.

The company also aims to reduce its reliance on traditional general contracting by expanding into industrial, infrastructure and overseas projects.

The move follows the company's annual general meeting on October 20, where Coteccons approved a fiscal 2027 plan targeting consolidated revenue of VND 42,000 billion (up 22%) and after-tax profit of VND 1,050 billion (up over 30%). For fiscal 2026, the company reported net revenue of VND 34,340 billion and after-tax profit of VND 788 billion, while the first quarter of fiscal 2027 is estimated to have reached 27% of revenue and 29% of profit targets for the year.

- A $68 million bitcoin bet is targeting a post-midterm election breakout to $90,000
A single wallet bought 800 call contracts on bitcoin with a $90,000 strike expiring November 6 on the decentralized platform Derive, worth about $68 million in face value and the largest open bitcoin position on the exchange. The wallet financed the purchase by selling 400 calls at $100,000 expiring March 2027 and 400 calls at $90,000 expiring October 30, netting about $940,000. Derive's market-implied chance of bitcoin exceeding $100,000 by Christmas rose from 9.7% to 12%, while the implied chance of falling below $70,000 dropped from 15.6% to 11%. Bitcoin was trading near $80,000, roughly flat. Derive remains much smaller than the centralized Deribit, which handles several billions of dollars in volume and open interest every day.
- Chevron Eyes 150% EPS Jump on Oct. 30 — But Are the Risks Already Priced In?
Chevron (CVX) reports third-quarter results on October 30, with shares up 57.27% year to date and analysts forecasting a steep earnings rebound from a weak year-ago quarter. Last quarter, adjusted EPS of $6.06 marked its seventh straight consensus beat, revenue rose 51.4% to $67.20 billion as Brent averaged $104 a barrel, and free cash flow reached $18.10 billion. Downstream posted $4.87 billion versus $737 million a year earlier, and key items to watch include refining margins, Tengizchevroil output that depends on the CPC pipeline, and the 2.67-gigawatt power deal with Microsoft. Analysts' third-quarter EPS estimate rose from $4.0094 to $4.8878 over 90 days, and the stock trades at about 13x full-year consensus EPS. The article notes that after a 45.56% first-quarter beat, shares fell 4.73% within a week, suggesting that cash flow durability once oil prices cool may determine the stock's next move.
