The cut equals the maximum standard profit included in the fuel base price. The move aims to share cost pressures with consumers and businesses and support government efforts to stabilise markets and curb inflation. The lower prices apply for 14 days from the price adjustment period of 15-10-2026, under Decision No. 920/PLX-QĐ-TGĐ. At a price steering meeting on 9-10-2026, a Deputy Prime Minister asked ministries to keep inflation under control and ensure adequate supply.

- Expert: World oil prices set for unprecedented surge
Brent crude is trading near $110 a barrel and U.S. crude near $100, up about 80% and more than 70% respectively since the start of the year. William Blair analyst Neal Dingmann warns of a possible “super spike,” as tanker attacks linked to Iran and record shipping costs tighten physical supply. The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at its lowest since 1982, limiting the effect of releases, while heating oil futures have more than doubled this year. Goldman Sachs raised its December Brent forecast to $90 a barrel but sees a possible $125 if oil infrastructure is destroyed or geopolitical risk premiums stay high. Meanwhile, many U.S. producers posted record free cash flow in the second quarter.
- Brent crude hovers near $109 a barrel as Ukraine resumes energy strikes, tankers attacked in Middle East
Crude oil prices hovered near recent highs on Sunday as traders weighed Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil facilities and more tanker attacks in the Persian Gulf. Brent fell $1.04 to $108.82 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate lost 26 cents to $101.15. Fires broke out at an oil terminal and depot in St. Petersburg after a massive Ukrainian drone attack; the terminal exports about 120,000 barrels per day of refined products, but the extent of the damage is unclear. Ukraine had briefly paused energy strikes after Trump announced a truce on Oct. 11, but Russia kept hitting Ukrainian energy infrastructure, so Zelenskyy said Kyiv would resume strikes on Russian facilities. Two tankers were also attacked off Saudi Arabia on Friday, according to UKMTO, amid Iran's escalating attacks on tankers aimed at choking off regional crude exports.
- Number of Vessels Attacked in the Strait of Hormuz Hits Record High
According to data from the Tổ chức Hàng hải Quốc tế obtained by TASS, 22 vessels reported being attacked in the Strait of Hormuz from October 1 to 13. The estimated count surpassed the total for all of March 2026, the previous record. The attacks left 15 sailors injured, 2 missing, and 1 ship sunk. October 11 saw the most incidents, with 6 vessels reporting damage, while on October 4 and 13, three vessels each reported damage. The backdrop: the US and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28, 2026. In June 2026, the two sides signed a memorandum for an immediate ceasefire, but on the night of July 8, the Pentagon resumed large-scale strikes on Iran, accusing it of violating agreements related to the Strait of Hormuz.

- 2 High-Flying Dividend Stocks to Buy and Hold for a Decade
The article argues healthcare is rebounding in 2026, with Merck (MRK) shares up 39% and AbbVie (ABBV) up 24% year to date, versus about 12% for the S&P 500. Merck's second-quarter revenue rose 5% to $16.6 billion, beating estimates, with Keytruda sales of $8.4 billion, though Keytruda may lose patent exclusivity by 2028. AbbVie's second-quarter revenue grew 10.2% to nearly $17 billion and adjusted EPS rose 22.9% to $3.65, driven by Skyrizi and Rinvoq sales growing about 24%. AbbVie is on a streak of 54 consecutive annual dividend increases, including its time as part of Abbott Laboratories, qualifying it as a Dividend King.

- Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Price Lags Massive Earnings Growth—A Compelling Value Opportunity
Munro Partners' Munro Global Growth Fund posted a -12.6% net return in Q3 2026, trailing the MAET.ASX return of -13.8%, with long holdings the main detractors.

The fund says demand for semiconductors and AI remains strong, creating a constructive setup as capex and political fears are now priced in.

- Salazar Resources to Begin Drilling the Yumi Gold-Silver Veins at Tarqui, with Porphyry Drilling Planned at Monja, Ecuador
Salazar Resources closed a $3,500,000 non-brokered private placement announced on October 8, 2026, and outlined its exploration plan. Phase 1 is about 1,500 metres of drilling in five holes at the Yumi gold-silver veins on its 100%-owned Tarqui project, with drilling expected to begin in late October 2026, and the veins have not previously been drilled. Selective rock-chip samples returned 105 g/t Au and 1,038 g/t Ag, and historical BHP holes intersected porphyry-style mineralization nearby, which the company interprets as lying on the periphery of a porphyry center not yet located. Phase 2 contemplates up to about 3,500 metres of drilling in four holes at the 100%-owned Monja copper-gold porphyry target from the first quarter of 2027, subject to surface access and permits. A soil survey of about 895 samples is also planned at Quimi, part of the Tarqui-Quimi project.
- Musk: AI’s Hard Part Is “Scaling Power”: 3 Stocks Uniquely Suited to Win This New Bottleneck Trade
Microsoft said it will scale its Maia chips to multi-gigawatt deployments starting next calendar year, and Elon Musk said scaling power is the hard part of AI. The article argues power is an input that chip and app companies cannot copy quickly, which favors Vistra (VST), Constellation Energy (CEG) and GE Vernova (GEV). Vistra has lost nearly a fifth of its value over the past year even though its adjusted EBITDA rose to $5.91 billion, while Constellation's normalized EPS is expected to reach $13.29 in fiscal 2027. GE Vernova's revenue is expected to reach $60.7 billion by fiscal 2028, and Jefferies has a $298 price target on Vistra. The article warns that all three stocks could move with the mood around AI, regardless of their results.
