- Domestic gold bar prices fall to lowest in over two months
On the morning of October 20, SJC quoted gold bars at 139–142 million VND per tael, down 1.1 million VND from the previous close and the lowest since August 5, with other brands adjusting similarly. World gold closed October 19 down over $24 at $4,139 an ounce and was at $4,135 that morning, about 130 million VND per tael, leaving domestic prices more than 12 million VND above international levels. The decline reflects investors awaiting signals from the Fed's meeting next week, amid a stronger US dollar and higher US Treasury yields. Under Decree 390, from October 16, daily gold purchases and sales of 5 million VND or more must be settled without cash, down from the previous 20 million VND threshold.
- Gold and Silver Prices on Oct. 20 Fall Sharply: Phu Quy, Bao Tin Minh Chau Announce Major Changes
SJC gold at Phu Quy on October 20 was quoted at 138.5 million VND per tael to buy and 142 million VND to sell, down about 0.5 million VND from the previous day, while Phu Quy's 1kg silver bar was around 52.8 million VND per kg to buy. Bao Tin Manh Hai cut 24K gold products by 800,000 VND per tael and its 1kg silver bar by 800,000 VND per kg. Global gold traded around $4,135-4,136 per ounce and silver around $57.02, under pressure from U.S. September CPI up 3.7% and PPI up 1.3%. From mid-October, gold transactions of 5 million VND or more in a day must be paid by non-cash means, and Phu Quy accepts only transfers from bank accounts in the customer's own name, not e-wallets.
- Gold Reverses Early Gains as U . S . 10 - Year Treasury Yield Climbs to 5 . 15 %
Gold gave back an early Monday gain as the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rose to 5.15%. The article cites two quotes: $4,182.30 an ounce, up 0.4% (Reuters), and $4,140, down 0.54% (FXStreet), reflecting different points in the trading day. The 10-year yield was 5.15% on Oct. 19, up 0.06 percentage point from 5.09% on Oct. 16, and FXStreet linked gold's late pressure to higher yields and a firmer dollar. Producer prices rose 1.3% in September, the largest monthly gain since March 2022, and 6.3% over 12 months. Fed minutes showed the target range was raised 0.25 percentage point to 3.75%-4%, with the next meeting on Oct. 27-28.

SJC gold bars were quoted at VND 140.6–143.6 million per tael (buy–sell) early on 18 October, down VND 1.2 million from the previous week, leaving buyers from a week earlier VND 4.2 million in the red per tael. SJC gold rings and bars at Doji and PNJ were adjusted down similarly. From the year's peak of VND 191.3 million on 29 January, domestic prices have fallen VND 47.7 million per tael. Globally, spot gold dropped from USD 5,600/ounce on 29 January to USD 4,164.1 on 17 October; this week it hit a low of USD 4,073.35 after U.S. September CPI rose 3.7%, then rebounded but could not hold above USD 4,200 consistently. Jefferies cut its Q4 2026 average forecast to USD 4,400/ounce (from 4,600) and its 2026 forecast to USD 4,511 (from 4,595), but kept its USD 5,000 target for 2027.
- Gold Price Slides on Hot Inflation, but Schiff Says It's a Gift
- “Giant” fund aggressively buys more than 5 tonnes of gold in just one day
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, bought more than 5 tonnes of gold on 16 October, lifting its holdings to 1,059 tonnes after a series of reversals in recent sessions. Spot gold closed at $4,165 an ounce, down 0.1%, after briefly nearing $4,200. Prices had peaked near $4,700 in late August and dropped to around $4,100 in early October. Investors are weighing persistent inflation against worries about high borrowing costs, and markets now price about an 83% chance the Fed holds rates at its 27–28 October meeting. Oil above $100 a barrel adds to inflation expectations, which the article says could limit gold's recovery.

- Washington-Kyiv rift leaves Ukraine peace facing a new test
U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky while Washington eases some energy sanctions on Russia, deepening public disagreements as the sides seek to restart peace talks before winter. On Oct. 19, Trump again suggested Ukraine send someone else to negotiate, the second time in just over a week, after raising on Oct. 10 the idea that Ukraine needs a new president to reach a deal. He argues Kyiv's strikes on Russian refineries push up global fuel prices, while Zelensky warns that easing sanctions on Russian fuel could reduce Moscow's incentive to end the conflict. The fuel move was announced during a Miami meeting of U.S., Ukrainian and European negotiators on Oct. 9, as energy prices remain high ahead of the U.S. midterm elections on Nov. 3. Some U.S. lawmakers have also opposed easing the sanctions.
- Agricultural firms struggle to secure long - term financing despite preferential credit
Agricultural businesses still struggle to obtain medium- and long-term financing for raw material development and deeper processing, despite banks expanding preferential lending programmes. Experts say agriculture accounts for only around 11 per cent of total outstanding bank credit, with a lack of collateral a major obstacle. The State Bank of Vietnam reported total outstanding credit of VNĐ20.75 quadrillion (US$802 billion) as of September 30, up 11.59 per cent from end-2025, with agriculture and rural development at about 22 per cent of the total. The agriculture credit support programme has been expanded from an initial VNĐ15 trillion to VNĐ185 trillion, with cumulative disbursements of nearly VNĐ238.12 trillion by the end of August. Businesses mostly rely on short-term loans tied to export orders, which do not meet long-term investment needs, while fluctuating interest rates raise costs and make planning less predictable.
- Merz Renews German Reform Pledge as Berlin Seeks Private Investment
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz reaffirmed his administrative and social security reform agenda, including cutting bureaucracy and digitizing public administration, at a Berlin investor reception on Oct. 19. The government is pairing its appeal to investors with the €500 billion Special Fund for Infrastructure and Climate Neutrality and about €30 billion in public money through the Germany Fund, which aims to stimulate over €130 billion in investment. Made for Germany estimates €2.9–4.1 trillion in capital needs across five growth areas through 2035, blaming prolonged underinvestment and high energy and labor costs, corporate taxes and regulation. However, a ZDF poll published Oct. 8 found 59% of respondents thought reforms were heading in the wrong direction, and 80% said the burdens were distributed unfairly. The investor summit on Oct. 20 is expected to bring together about 200 executives and investors.
- High bond yields could more than double drag on US growth in 2027: Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs estimates higher interest rates would cut US economic growth by about 0.2 percentage points in 2027 under its baseline scenario. If borrowing costs stay near current levels, the drag would rise to just over 0.5 percentage points, more than double. Goldman expects US growth close to its estimated potential rate of 2.3% in 2027, but warns that higher financing costs could weigh on housing, consumption and business investment. Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi calls the US economy vulnerable rather than resilient, puts the odds of vulnerabilities pushing it 'completely off the rails' at about one in three, and cites weak hiring and stagnant or declining real wages. Goldman also estimates higher refinancing costs could cut business investment growth by about 0.3 percentage points in 2027 and later years, while AI infrastructure investment has stayed resilient despite flagged risks from rising leverage.
- Brooks Says French Bond Strain Has Reached Eurozone Periphery
Robin J Brooks, writing on Substack on Oct. 19, argues that strain in France's bond market is widening borrowing cost gaps across the eurozone periphery, raising contagion risks for other heavily indebted countries. Spreads of 10-year yields over German yields have risen across the periphery as France's spread climbed, and France's 10-year yield hit its highest level of 2026 on Oct. 19. Brooks expects the ECB may first try to cap yields in peripheral countries, notably Italy, though this is his forecast, not announced policy. He notes the equal-weighted average of 10-year yields in the rest of the G10 rose when French yields jumped, which he sees as evidence the strain reaches beyond the eurozone. He believes markets expect the French government to offer concessions to protesters, which would worsen its budget, and in an earlier outlook he assigned a 30% probability to a French debt crisis by year-end.
- Copper is outshining gold this year. Investors say the rally can survive an AI correction
Copper is becoming more strategic for governments and industries as AI, power-grid investment and defense spending boost demand, investors say. Copper has risen 15.8% year-to-date and more than 30% over the past 12 months, while gold futures have fallen 4.11% year-to-date. Ivanhoe Electric CEO Taylor Melvin said demand from technology and defense is almost inelastic and expects copper to withstand recent tech-stock volatility. The rally is also supported by uncertainty over a possible U.S. tariff on refined copper, which the Commerce Department recommended at 15% from Jan. 1, 2027, though no final decision has been announced. Aberdeen's Iain Pyle noted that a large share of the world's copper is now stored in the U.S. and Chinese inventories look exceptionally low, while still seeing underlying fundamentals as clearly bullish.
