Data from the Ministry of Construction shows 947 social housing projects are under way nationwide, about 91% of the target of at least 1 million units, yet completed units still fall short of strong demand. After cases of forged documents and unauthorized brokering, many businesses and provincial Departments of Construction have proposed a shared database of eligible buyers on the VNeID app, which already holds tax, insurance and residence information. Under this proposal, authorities could verify, score and confirm eligible applicants, while developers sign sales contracts with approved buyers. Some localities, however, say complete and synchronized land and income data must be in place first.

- Dismantling a Virtual Gold Investment Scam Ring Operating via the Phantom App
Cần Thơ City Police have prosecuted 24 suspects in a virtual gold investment scam ring that lured victims through the Phantom app, with its operations based in Cambodia. Initial findings show the group stole over VND 26.5 billion across four cases, and investigators believe the actual number of victims may be higher. Suspects guided victims to install the app, create accounts and transfer money into a virtual gold trading platform. After taking the money, they ran a second-round fraud by posing as lawyers offering to recover the losses and demanding further payments, then cut off contact once victims could pay no more. Police urge people nationwide who were lured into virtual gold investments via Phantom or similar methods to come forward with information.

- $50k/month founder nearly killed his app by spending thousands on UGC 😊
Founder Lino spent thousands of dollars on UGC content without a proven winning format, nearly killing the business. He initially worked with large fitness influencers at thousands per video, while margins were only 5-10% and revenue barely reached $3-4K. The fix was partnering with one major fitness creator in exchange for equity, which made the content effectively free and let the AbMaxx app take off. He then cut other UGC deals, focused on Meta ads at 2-2.5X ROAS, and moved the same creatives to TikTok, reaching 4-5X ROAS with a younger audience.
- Will Yum! Brands' (YUM) AI-Driven Operations and Supplier Strategy Shift Its Post-Pizza Hut Narrative?
Yum! Brands has highlighted deeper long-term supplier partnerships, expanded AI such as automated drive-thru ordering at Taco Bell, and a unified global supply chain. Analysts updated their outlook after the Pizza Hut divestiture and softer Taco Bell trends, and some near-term earnings forecasts have been reduced. Under the Simply Wall St narrative, Yum! Brands projects $9.7 billion in revenue and $2.1 billion in earnings by 2029, versus $2.2 billion today. That scenario yields a fair value of $172.89, about 18% above the current price, while four Simply Wall St Community members see fair value between US$171.06 and US$181.89.
- Apple Prepares New Smart Home Devices Featuring AI-Enhanced Siri
Apple is expected to unveil a new range of smart home products on Tuesday, including a wall-mounted or tabletop iPad-like device that will showcase its upgraded Siri assistant. The device could centrally control connected home gear such as video doorbells, thermostats and smart locks. Analysts also suggest updated HomePod and Apple TV models may arrive. Apple has spent about a decade building its connected home ecosystem but has not achieved a dominant position against Amazon and Google. TECHnalysis Research's Bob O'Donnell said setup remains too complicated and that Apple must show its devices can work beyond its own ecosystem.
- Google Signed a Deal for Existing Reactors. So Why Did Oklo and NuScale Jump on the Constellation Energy News? The Read-Through Investors Are Missing.
Alphabet, Google's parent company, agreed to buy nuclear power from Constellation Energy's existing plants for 15 years, plus a 20-year deal for 890 megawatts from plants Constellation will build, which lets Constellation invest $4.3 billion in new nuclear capacity. Shares of Oklo and NuScale rose too despite having no role in the deal, as investors read it as a broader sign that nuclear power is gaining acceptance again. The article notes that the small modular reactors (SMRs) of Oklo and NuScale target on-site users such as refineries and desalination plants, unlike Constellation's model of serving hundreds of thousands of utility customers. According to the World Nuclear Association, over 70 SMRs are planned or under construction, though none is yet in true commercial operation.

- An AI bust could come from places investors arent watching , an economist says
Concerns about an AI bubble are growing, and TS Lombard's Dario Perkins warns that investors may be overlooking other risks. Debt among smaller cloud providers, model developers and suppliers could reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027. Perkins does not see this as a systemic risk, but warns that earnings disappointments and canceled orders could ripple through the ecosystem, and that a chip glut could follow over-ordering. Much of the industry's revenue growth still comes from spending within the AI ecosystem rather than from businesses and consumers outside it. He also flags political backlash, noting that ordinary people dislike AI and nearby datacenters, and warns that one high-profile accident could turn AI toxic.
- Yen jumps after JGB auction draws big demand , euro finds relief
The yen rose 0.2% to 158.15 per dollar in Asian trading after a 20-year Japanese government bond auction drew bids of 5.84 times the amount sold, well above the 4.01 times at the previous auction, and the yield fell 6 basis points to 3.71%. A State Street strategist said the record demand suggests sidelined cash is returning and that JGBs are becoming a relative haven from political and fiscal volatility in Europe, particularly France. Anti-government protests in France prompted curfews in several cities, while Italy said it would send 500 troops after two days of unrest, and the euro rallied 0.2% to $1.1234. Elsewhere, bitcoin slipped 0.3% to $81,674.25 and ether edged down 0.2% to $2,393.21.
- Unemployment rate dips to 4 . 7 % - but vacancies hit five - year low
Vacancies fell by 21,000 to 691,000 in the three months to September, the biggest drop since the three months to March and the lowest since July to September 2014 outside the pandemic, while unemployment dipped in the three months to August. Payroll numbers were down 66,000 over the year to September. The ONS said the fall was mainly among smaller firms struggling with higher labour costs, following rises in employer national insurance, the minimum wage and workers' rights. A CBI survey found labour costs and regulations were making it harder to create jobs, and firms urged the Chancellor not to add to their burden in the October 28 Budget. ICAEW's Suren Thiru said the labour market is 'running on idle' and unemployment could climb above 5 per cent, while Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith blamed Labour's 'Jobs Tax' and red tape.
- CNBC Daily Open: Tech rebounds in the U.S., but Asia isn’t buying it yet
U.S. tech stocks rebounded as the Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1% on Monday, with Nvidia up 1.4% and Tesla up 3.8%. In Asia, however, tech shares fell on Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi down over 4% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 1.6%. Nvidia also unveiled plans to back four German AI startups as part of its nearly $10 billion European investment commitment. Jenny Lee of Granite Asia said Asian companies are reaching IPOs much sooner, often at four to five years old, while Jio Platforms' Indian IPO saw its anchor investor quota oversubscribed more than 30 times, aiming to raise up to 302 billion rupees ($3.2 billion). In Singapore, several agricultural stocks fell after Senior Minister K Shanmugam warned that companies would not escape responsibility for possible roles in the haze, noting seven firms had been questioned by the Singapore Exchange.
- NiSource (NI) Stock Looks Overvalued Against Its Dividend Outlook
NiSource has nearly doubled shareholders' money over the past five years, delivering a 97.6% total return, which raises the question of whether dividends can justify the current share price. The article highlights a new 20-year energy agreement with Microsoft, including customer-funded grid upgrades and long-term electric service for data centers, which may affect future capital needs and cash-flow visibility. Using a Dividend Discount Model with inputs of about $1.35 dividend per share, roughly 9.07% return on equity, a payout ratio slightly above 61%, and implied dividend growth of about 3.5%, the estimated intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current share price of $41.95. The model still does not bridge that gap, suggesting income investors are paying a premium for a relatively steady payout with modest assumed growth.
