At a conference on 27 October, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung asked the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to finalise its list of priority problems by 15 December and propose a national agricultural commodity exchange model by 31 December, as about 20 local exchanges currently operate ineffectively. Agriculture, forestry and fisheries exports reached nearly USD 71 billion in 2025, up about 3.8%; in the first nine months, the sector grew over 4%, earning USD 56.3 billion and targeting about USD 74.2 billion for the full year. Minister of Agriculture and Environment Trinh Viet Hung said the sector will remove institutional obstacles, digitise planting-area data, and require traceability and transparent product information across all sectors. Deputy Minister of Public Security Nguyen Van Long said a national exchange would serve as a focal point to bring products to trading and expand markets and international trade.

DICERA (DC4) saw nine-month revenue fall 27% and profit drop 9%, with operating cash flow negative by over 115 billion VND compared with a positive 459 billion VND a year earlier.

- Rising domestic capital needs push Vietnamese banks to seek funding from international markets
Credit growth is outpacing deposit mobilisation, prompting Vietnamese banks to expand syndicated loans, bilateral loans and planned international bond issuance to raise medium- and long-term funds. Nguyễn Thanh Tùng, chairman of Vietcombank, said reaching GDP growth of 10% or more would require an investment rate of about 40% of GDP, while domestic savings average only 36.5%. As of end-September 2026, system deposits reached VND 19.5 quadrillion (up 10.7%) and credit reached over VND 20.7 quadrillion (up 11.7%). Infrastructure financing needs for 2026–2030 are estimated at about USD 450 billion, versus roughly USD 3.9 billion mobilised through bonds and equity in 2021–2025. HDBank's USD 721 million syndicated loan, about 60% above its initial USD 450 million target, is one example of banks tapping international funding.
- Interest rates in early November 2026: Savings deposit rates cool across the board, certificate of deposit rates adjust slightly
Early-November 2026 rate tables show many banks cut savings deposit rates for at least one term or channel, following State Bank of Vietnam guidance to stabilize interest rate levels. The typical cut is 0.5 percentage points a year, concentrated in terms of 6 months and longer, while rates for terms under 6 months at most banks were kept unchanged due to the 4.75% per year ceiling. NCB cut more sharply by 0.6 percentage points and brought its highest rate down to 6.2% a year, while BAC A BANK's highest rate is 6.6% a year for 12 months. After the adjustments, the highest listed rate is 6.6% a year for 1–6 month terms and 7% a year for terms of 12 months and above, and most banks list 12-month rates below 7% a year. For certificates of deposit, MB and Techcombank made small cuts on October 30, while VPBank still lists a top rate of 9% a year for certificates from VND 100 million in the 184–389 day range.

- Medtronic Just Retired 55 Million Shares Without Spending Cash. Is the Stock a Buy?
After spinning off its diabetes business as MiniMed (MMED), Medtronic (MDT) received about 55 million of its own shares in the final results of its oversubscribed split-off and exchange offer, so future net income will be spread across fewer shares, which the article says can support EPS growth. It gives three points: Medtronic has raised its dividend for 49 consecutive years and could reach the 50-year mark if it raises the dividend in 2027 as expected, while only 59 of roughly 7,000 major U.S.-listed stocks are on the “Dividend King” list; and its trailing cash dividend payout ratio is just under 60%. Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 rose nearly 14% to $9.8 billion, and EPS rose 15% to $1.45. Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $36.4 billion, up 8.4%, supported by more than 50 new FDA approvals and clearances. The stock trades at about 16 times forward earnings and 24 times trailing earnings, below Johnson & Johnson, Edwards Lifesciences, Abbott Labs and Stryker.
- Pentagon urges Baltic NATO members to stop 'provoking' Russia
According to four sources close to the matter, US Under Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby has privately urged officials in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to refrain from 'provoking' Russia, and pressed Estonia to be cautious in its public statements. The Pentagon declined to comment on the private exchanges, and it is unclear whether other NATO allies received similar warnings. The message follows sharp rhetoric from Baltic leaders, including Estonia's prime minister comparing Vladimir Putin to a 'cornered rat' and Latvia's foreign minister accusing Russia of 'state-sponsored terrorism' over an explosive-laden drone found at a German airport, which Putin denied. The development comes as Washington temporarily eased sanctions to allow Russian diesel imports after a 9 October call between President Trump and Putin.
- AMZN Q3 deep dive: cloud surge and AI investments drive mixed market reception
Amazon's third-quarter 2026 revenue rose 12.1% year on year to $201.9 billion, in line with the $202.3 billion analyst estimate, while GAAP EPS of $1.89 missed the $1.96 expectation by 3.4%. Operating margin widened to 13.9% from 9.7% a year earlier. AWS grew 39.3%, its fastest pace in nearly five years and an acceleration for a sixth straight quarter, driven by AI infrastructure demand and custom chips such as Trainium and Graviton, which saved customers more than $2 billion in Q3 alone. Management expects next-quarter revenue of about $243.5 billion and said it believes AWS can grow north of 40% in 2027 and 2028, although near-term profitability may fluctuate with higher operating costs. Prime members ordering groceries with same-day delivery have tripled, and advertising growth is expected to return to the high teens after a slowdown tied to Prime Day timing.
- VNG posts first profit exceeding 1,000 billion VND

VNZ shares closed the last session of October at 533,000 VND, giving a market capitalization of over 16,000 billion VND.
- Arctic Giant: What the West “Doesn’t Want to Reveal” About Russia’s Northern Border Region
An RT article argues that Russia, which holds about 53% of the Arctic coastline, sees major economic, commercial and military potential in the region amid competition with the West. As ice melts, Moscow aims to turn the Northern Sea Route into a profitable trade link between Europe and Asia, while the Arctic is warming nearly four times faster than the global average. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas described the region on October 20 as the “frontline of global power competition” and accused Moscow of militarizing it, while Russia denies threatening anyone and says NATO is escalating tensions. Estimates of undiscovered but recoverable resources put the Arctic at about 90 billion barrels of oil and 1,669 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and Russia was the first country to formally submit an extended continental shelf claim to the UN in 2001.
