- Outstanding credit as of October 14 tops 20.7 million billion dong; banks agree to cut lending rates after meeting with the State Bank on the morning of October 19
As of October 14, 2026, outstanding credit to the economy reached 20,721,583 billion dong, up 11.44% from the end of last year and 16.73% year-on-year. On the morning of October 19, State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) Governor Phạm Đức Ấn met with chairs and CEOs of commercial banks, and the banks agreed to cut interest rates. Specifically, listed deposit rates for terms of 6 months or more will fall by at least 0.5%/year, while lending rates will drop by 1.5–2%/year, focusing on production, business and priority sectors. The backdrop includes Middle East conflict driving up oil prices, several major central banks raising rates and a stronger US dollar, all of which pressure Vietnam's monetary policy. The SBV also asks banks to channel credit into production and business while tightly controlling lending to risky sectors, including real estate.
- Official proposal for a controlled sandbox mechanism in the securities sector
Finance Minister Ngo Van Tuan presented on 17 October a draft Securities Law amendment adding Article 6a, a controlled sandbox for testing new technologies, products and business models within limited scope, duration and state oversight. The draft also codifies administrative simplification under Resolution No. 66.16/NQ-CP and requires the Prime Minister to issue a decision on the operating model of stock exchanges within one year of the law's effect, which is proposed for 1 March 2027. The Economic and Finance Committee broadly agreed but asked for clear rules on authority, testing limits, risk warnings, asset segregation, data protection and handling of failed tests. It also urged that liability exemptions be strict and not cover compensation for fault or violations.
- Surprising Profit Forecasts for Securities, Oil & Gas and Fertilizer Groups in 2027
Pinetree forecasts 2027 profit growth of about 34% for insurance, 18% for industrial parks and 7% for technology, while securities profit may fall 19%. Banks account for about 45% of projected 2026 listed profit, with profit at 27 listed banks expected to rise 12.6% in 2026 before slowing to 4.9% in 2027 as funding costs climb following recent deposit rate increases. Oil and gas, fertilizer and mining, whose profits were boosted by commodity prices in 2026, are forecast to see profit fall about 30%, 29% and 24% respectively. On foreign capital, foreign investors had net sold over 98,300 billion VND through September 2026, and Pinetree expects this trend to continue in Q4 2026 and early 2027.
- After a TikToker spread false information about margin lending, the State Securities Commission urges investors to stay cautious
The State Securities Commission (UBCKNN) urges investors to stay alert, avoid trusting, and not share unverified information online. The Cybersecurity Department of the Ministry of Public Security, working with Hanoi police and UBCKNN, handled the TikTok account “Kiến Trúc Sư”, whose owner posted videos from July 25, 2026 with sweeping, false claims about securities firms’ margin lending. On September 21, 2026, Hanoi police fined the account owner VND 12.5 million for providing and sharing fabricated, false information that harmed the reputation of agencies and organizations. UBCKNN warns that publishing false or misleading information about the securities market will be strictly penalized under the law.
- Foreign investors record longest net-selling streak in two years
Foreign investors net sold more than VND 770 billion today, extending a 16-session selling streak with a total outflow of about VND 22,800 billion (US$900 million), the longest such run since 2024. Year to date, they have withdrawn VND 116,000 billion (US$4.5 billion), close to the record US$5.1 billion sold across the market last year, and their ownership on the HCMC exchange has fallen to about 13% from 15% a year earlier. Experts attribute the outflows mainly to opportunity costs and global capital shifting toward markets with stronger earnings growth, along with active funds taking profits to rebalance after buying ahead of the market upgrade. The VN-Index fell for six straight sessions to close at 1,704 points, and some analysts warn it could slip toward the 1,680 zone. Observers expect roughly US$2.7 billion in passive FTSE Russell-tracking inflows to be disbursed next year, which could halt the outflow trend.
- Vietnam enters a period of its strongest capital demand growth in years; expert points to key capital channels for the coming period
S&I Ratings believes Vietnam's economy will likely keep its positive growth momentum in Q4 2026, driven by manufacturing, public investment and exports, although the outlook for the final months of the year is more challenging than the first half. At its September 2026 meeting, the Fed raised its policy rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4% and signaled it would keep rates high for longer, reversing the 2024-2025 period when it cut rates six times. The US 10-year Treasury yield rose to about 5.3%, while Vietnam's 10-year government bond yield stayed around 4.45%, a gap that could reduce the appeal of VND assets and add pressure on the USD/VND exchange rate. The State Bank of Vietnam must balance low rates to support growth with exchange-rate stability. The report says full-year 2026 growth will likely reach its highest level in several years, but the 10% target will be a major challenge.

- Tesla Stock vs. the S&P 500: Which Investment Wins Through 2030?
The article argues Tesla trades at roughly 203 times this year's expected earnings and 13 times expected sales, a valuation that looks very expensive given gross margin pressure and a slower-than-expected robotaxi rollout. The flying Roadster, slated for production in 2028, is unlikely to make a meaningful sales or earnings contribution before 2030. The author thinks a Tesla-SpaceX merger by the end of the decade, likely an all-stock deal, is more likely than not and would be a key factor in how Tesla stock performs against the S&P 500 through 2030.
- SpaceX surprises Wall Street with Oct. 20 earnings date — here's why
SpaceX (SPCX) will release earnings on Oct. 20 after the market close, a surprise since earnings dates are usually shared weeks in advance. Evercore ISI analyst Kutgun Maral says possible reasons include putting updated financials on record before new financing or getting ahead of major lock-up releases, though scheduling is also possible. Reuters reported SpaceX is seeking $40 billion in financing to buy advanced Nvidia AI chips, including about $10 billion in bank loans and $30 billion in investment-grade debt, with Apollo expected to lead. The lock-up schedule includes 1.30 billion shares two days after earnings, 329 million on 10/24, and a remaining 857 million tranche of the 180-day group.
- AEP Partners with Amazon and X-energy to Explore Advanced Nuclear Energy in Indiana
American Electric Power (AEP) has announced a joint development agreement with X-energy to evaluate the feasibility of a 960-megawatt advanced nuclear project at a former coal plant site in Sullivan County, Indiana. Amazon is supporting development through a funding agreement. If the project reaches a final investment decision and is built, Amazon intends to buy the power under a long-term contract covering the facility's costs and operations. The initial project would include 12 Xe-100 units of 80 MW each, and the companies say it could create jobs, expand the local tax base and strengthen the grid for more than 60 years. AEP says the agreements include the financial safeguards it considers essential for any nuclear project to move forward.
