• Trump says he'd meet with Putin and Xi, criticizes Zelenskyy

  President Donald Trump said he would meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss ending the Ukraine war, and suggested such a meeting could happen without Zelenskyy present. He said Russia and China have done 'very little' to help Tehran, which has been accused of receiving their support in its military efforts against the U.S. Trump also criticized Zelenskyy's reaction to his decision to waive new sanctions against Russia, saying Zelenskyy 'doesn't know what he's talking about' and should have settled the war long ago. He added that 'it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine,' echoing his earlier call for Kyiv to get a new president.

• European leaders rally around Zelensky as Trump ties slump

  European leaders on Friday rallied around Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as ties between Kyiv and US President Donald Trump deteriorated after Trump eased sanctions on Russia in exchange for Moscow releasing diesel onto global markets. Zelensky ordered renewed strikes on Russian oil refineries despite Washington’s demands, which Trump called a “disgrace” while saying he found Zelensky more difficult to deal with than Putin. Kyiv’s anger has also been fuelled by disruptions to the Starshield satellite system from SpaceX, which Musk said his company did not cause and whose usage limits are set by the US military. EU leaders will discuss how to keep Ukraine funded, as a 90-billion-euro loan covers only until the end of 2027, and calls to use about 200 billion euros in frozen Russian central bank assets remain blocked by Belgium.

• Amid Rift With US President, Ukrainian President Praises 'True Leaders' in Europe

  At a Brussels summit on October 16, Ukrainian President Zelensky thanked European leaders for their support without mentioning strained ties with the United States. He said Ukraine would resume strikes on Russian oil refineries because Russia had not honored the energy ceasefire proposed by President Trump, after Ukraine had paused its attacks for three days at Washington's request. Trump had recently reached a deal allowing Russia to export diesel, which Zelensky described as a betrayal, and on October 15 he told Newsmax that Zelensky was not easy to work with. EU leaders are preparing a 22nd sanctions package against Russia, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Russia did not respect the truce 'even for a minute'. Citing a CNN source, the report says Ukraine has run out of Patriot missiles, and Zelensky is calling for more air defense and financial support.

• Russian Foreign Minister: Zelensky Is Challenging President Trump

  Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on October 15 that Ukrainian President Zelensky is seeking US weapons to strike Russian energy infrastructure, including refineries, which he called a direct challenge to President Trump. The remark follows an energy deal Trump reached with Putin on October 9, under which the US eased sanctions on Russian diesel exports until April 2027 while Russia pledged substantial fuel supplies. Zelensky called the deal a “weak decision” that boosts Russian revenue, accused Trump of betrayal, blamed the US war against Iran for global energy shortages, and condemned the withdrawal of US intelligence support. Trump rejected the criticism and said Ukraine needs a new president, while the Financial Times reports that European leaders plan to press Zelensky to tone down his rhetoric at the Brussels summit on October 16.

• Donald Trump, Aligning with Vladimir Putin Yet Again , Leaves Ukraine and US Relations with Europe Under Pressure

  The October 9 deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin allows Russia to sell millions of tonnes of diesel, a major departure from US policy that runs counter to Ukrainian and European interests and contradicts a US law signed in September to authorise sanctions and tariffs on nations importing Russian oil and gas. The volume is just under six million barrels, roughly a day and a half of US diesel demand, so it is unlikely to significantly affect global diesel prices. Talks in Miami with Ukrainian and European officials ended without agreement, and those officials were reportedly blindsided by the announcement. Kyiv's strikes on Russian refineries have reportedly cut Russian refining capacity by up to 60%, and Zelensky says Ukraine will stop if Russia stops attacking its energy infrastructure. After the announcement Russia struck a Ukrainian power plant, Trump told Ukraine on October 10 to 'get a new leader', and Washington has reportedly threatened to cut intelligence sharing and block weapons sales if the strikes continue.

• 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.

• Fuelling Two-Digit Growth

  The target of average GDP growth of 10% or more over 2026–2030 requires very large investment capital. According to Dr. Cấn Văn Lực, Chief Economist at BIDV, Vietnam needs to sustain growth in total social investment of about 13–15% a year, with total investment needs estimated at 280–300 billion USD a year, while the state budget is expected to cover only about 22%. The capital mix still relies heavily on banks, while the stock and corporate bond markets have not yet realised their potential, so developing channels outside bank lending is needed. Dr. Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Hà noted that as of the end of Q3 2026, public investment disbursement reached only 62.9% of plan (central agencies 44.1%, localities 73.6%), while investment capital grew 15% at current prices but only 7.6% at comparable prices. A narrowing government bond yield spread between Vietnam and the US could add pressure on foreign capital flows and the exchange rate, so flexible, controlled exchange rate management, stronger FX reserves and inflation control are needed.

• Musk says SpaceX raised $40 bln in debt, warns of neocloud collapse

  Elon Musk said SpaceX closed 40 billion USD in debt financing to buy AI chips and warned that more than 200 specialised cloud providers face widespread failures and consolidation as credit tightens. He said debt markets have almost shut off funding for companies without substantial revenue independent of AI data centers. SpaceX secured the loan thanks to its investment-grade credit and revenue from Starlink and rocket launches, unlike neocloud providers that rely on renting computing capacity to AI developers. The debt mainly funds GPUs expected in Q1 and Q2 2027, following earlier reports that SpaceX sought 40 billion USD for Nvidia chips. Investors are increasingly concerned about debt-funded AI infrastructure, with neoclouds such as CoreWeave and Nebius exposed to financing costs and demand uncertainty.

• Cleaning Up Tax Codes to Open the Way for Businesses

  The Tax Department launched a campaign in May 2026 to clean up tax identification numbers (MST) for about 600,000 businesses that have stopped operating but have not completed the termination procedures or no longer operate at their registered address. As of end-August 2026, tax authorities had terminated MST validity for nearly 125,000 enterprises, branches and organizations, up about 30% from end-2025, while more than 52,000 cases were confirmed to have met tax obligations for dissolution and over 4,000 businesses had their MST restored. The campaign sorts cases by status and risk, supporting compliant firms while screening for abuse of legal entities, such as registrations using citizen ID cards without business activity or illegal invoice trading. Coordination among tax, business registration, police, customs and local authorities is seen as key, and the tax department urged businesses that have stopped operating to check their MST status and remaining obligations.

• U.S. stock futures edge higher after bruising tech losses; Fed, earnings on tap

  U.S. stock index futures rose slightly on Sunday evening after deep tech-driven losses over the past week. S&P 500 Futures gained 0.13% to 7,669.0 points, Nasdaq 100 Futures rose 0.1% to 29,151.50 points, and Dow Jones Futures climbed 0.12% to 52,455.0 points. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posted two straight weeks of losses, mainly due to a slump in tech and AI valuations. Several major third-quarter earnings reports are due this week, with Alphabet and Microsoft reporting on Wednesday and Amazon on Thursday, and investors watching AI spending. The Fed is expected to hold rates after a 25 basis point hike to 4.0% in September, but expectations for a 25 bps hike in December have risen quickly as inflation remains well above the Fed's 2% target.

• Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Still Looks Reasonable Following Its 7x Five Year Run

  Nvidia has gained about 7x over the past five years, and a recent pullback has not erased most of those gains. The article questions whether the company's cash flows can still support its current share price. Its discounted cash flow (DCF) model, based on last-twelve-month free cash flow of about $126.7b, puts intrinsic value substantially above the $210.96 share price. The price stays below that value largely due to concerns over the durability of AI-driven cash flows, including risks from highly indebted AI infrastructure customers such as CoreWeave. The article also cites a P/E of 26.4x.
