- More than US$1 billion set to flow into stocks: has the time to deploy arrived?
BSC (BIDV Securities) maintains that valuations across many sectors have become more attractive, making now a reasonable time to allocate to stocks for the medium to long term. Market-wide profits rose 50% year on year in Q2 2026, and BSC raised its 2026 profit growth forecast to 26% and expects 12% growth in 2027. The VN-Index's trailing 12-month P/E, excluding the Vingroup group, is 10.5x, while the 2027 forward P/E is about 9.5x, a discount of nearly 30% to the average. Liquidity remains the main bottleneck, though banking-system liquidity pressure has begun to ease and the probability of rate cuts in 2027 has risen. Foreign outflows are expected to ease, with about VND 33,000 billion (US$1.27 billion) of inflows from the market upgrade expected mainly in 2027.
- Securities companies' update as of morning 20/10: Q3 financial reports pour in, and several major names unexpectedly report profit declines
As of the morning of 20/10, 31 securities companies had released their Q3/2026 financial statements with mixed results, and some saw profits drop 80-98% year on year. VIX reported Q3 pre-tax profit of about VND 192 billion, down 94%, as gains from selling FVTPL assets fell sharply, revaluation losses reached nearly VND 1,363 billion, and operating expenses rose to over VND 1,744 billion. BVSC's pre-tax profit was about VND 20 billion, down 80%, while ABS rose 552% to VND 376 billion, driven by FVTPL gains of nearly VND 412 billion. KIS edged up 2% to VND 248 billion on lower costs, while BMS and AIS swung to losses of over VND 63 billion and about VND 3 billion, respectively.
- China third-quarter growth narrowly beats forecasts
China's economy grew 4.5% in July–September from a year earlier, slightly above the 4.4% AFP poll forecast and up from 4.3% in the previous quarter, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. The figure still sits at the lower end of Beijing's 4.5–5.0% annual target, and officials described domestic demand as insufficient. September retail sales rose 1.1%, the fastest since March, while fixed-asset investment fell 7.2% over the first nine months. Exports, boosted by AI-related demand, remain a bright spot and could top last year's $1.2 trillion trade surplus, stoking tensions with the EU and US. The IMF recently lowered its forecast for China's annual growth this year to 4.5%.
- China economy accelerated in July - September quarter on robust exports
China said its economy grew 4.5% in the July–September quarter from a year earlier, up from 4.3% in April–June, helped by strong exports. Growth for the first three quarters reached 4.6%, and Beijing's full-year target is 4.5% to 5%, below last year's 5%; the IMF cut its 2026 forecast to 4.5%. Weak domestic demand, weighed down by a prolonged property slump, contrasts with booming trade: exports rose 36% last month, and the trade surplus reached $938 billion from January to September, on track to beat last year's record $1.2 trillion. Exports to the EU rose 16% in the first nine months, and the EU and China agreed this month to roughly halve Chinese hybrid vehicle imports over the next few years, though economists say trade imbalances will be hard to resolve quickly.
- Sensex sinks 876 points , Nifty falls 1 . 11 % as Crude oil nears USD 109
The Nifty 50 closed down 257.20 points (1.11%) at 22,888.95 and the BSE Sensex fell 876.37 points (1.17%) to 73,852.90 on Monday, as weakness in private banks, disappointing earnings and rising crude prices hit sentiment. Almost all NSE sectoral indices closed lower, with only the Nifty PSU Bank index rising 2.41%. Axis Bank fell more than 4%, while SBI, JSW Steel, Eicher Motors and Adani Ports led the gainers. Brent crude traded at USD 108.50 per barrel, raising concerns about imported inflation, while the rupee rose for a seventh straight session to around 94.95 per dollar. However, RBI reserves fell USD 8.6 billion to USD 726 billion in the week ended October 9, a drawdown of nearly USD 60 billion since early September, and analysts said markets could stay volatile.
- Stock Market Crash Today : Investors Lose Rs 5 Lakh Crore As Sensex , Nifty Plunge . What Went Wrong ?
Indian stock markets fell sharply on Monday, October 19, erasing the previous week's recovery and wiping out more than Rs 5 lakh crore in investor wealth. The BSE Sensex dropped over 1,000 points, or 1.4%, to an intraday low of 73,709, while the NSE Nifty 50 lost about 300 points. Major drivers included heavy selling in banking stocks after September-quarter results, with HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank accounting for half of the Sensex's decline; Brent crude near $108-$109 per barrel amid tensions around the Strait of Hormuz; and foreign investors pulling out Rs 52,100 crore in October after Rs 35,861 crore in September.

- Securities firm names 2 companies directly benefiting from proposed fertilizer export tax cut
MBS views the Ministry of Finance's proposal to cut export tariffs on urea, superphosphate and sulphate of potash (SOP) from 5% to 0% as a positive factor for the fertilizer sector, though the effective date has not yet been set. Đạm Cà Mau (DCM) is seen as the biggest beneficiary, with estimated savings of about VND 203 billion per year (9.2% of 2025 pre-tax profit), as urea accounted for about 59.7% of its sales volume in the first eight months of 2026. Đạm Phú Mỹ (DPM) is estimated to save about VND 93 billion per year (6.9%), a smaller benefit than DCM. LAS's benefit is limited, DDV does not benefit directly, and BFC could face cost pressure if domestic urea prices rise.
- Why Palantir Technologies Stock Rallied Today
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) shares rose sharply on Monday morning, reaching as much as 5.9% and still up 5.5% as of 12:19 p.m. ET.

- Tesla Rises 4% as DeSantis Vows to Make Flying Roadster Legal in Florida; Rivian and Lucid Slip
Tesla shares rose 4% to $367.59 in afternoon trading after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis pledged to make the company's flying Roadster legal in his state, saying on X that the state would ensure it is legal. The pledge followed Tesla's unveiling of the long-delayed Roadster last week, where a version fitted with air tanks and thrusters launched from a ramp, flew briefly and landed on its wheels. Rivian fell 0.9% to $12.31 and Lucid slipped 1.12% to $3.10, while Tesla's gain also reflected a broad tech rebound, with the QQQ up 2%. The article notes that federal regulators decide whether a vehicle can fly, production is years away, and Tesla has not announced a price for the flying version.
- U.S. CFTC rebuffs CME legal stance in consequential fight over perpetual futures
The CFTC filed a brief arguing that CME Group has not shown its business is harmed by the agency's new push into perpetual futures, so it lacks legal standing to challenge the policy. The regulator approved the first bitcoin perpetual from Kalshi in May and says it will regulate such products case by case as futures, while CME insists perps are swaps because they have no expiration date. The CFTC noted that CME's crypto futures volume has risen since the policy change and said CME cannot take one position in court and another on earnings calls. TD Cowen analyst Jaret Seiberg warned that rapid growth in perps during the litigation could complicate unwinding the market if CME prevails.
