- Trade turnover tops $1,000 billion for the first time
Vietnam's total goods trade reached about $1,001 billion as of October 29, according to the Customs Department, the first time it has passed the $1,000 billion mark. Exports were about $493 billion (up 27.2%) and imports nearly $508 billion (up 37.6%), leaving a trade deficit of about $14.02 billion.

- Choosing the right breakthrough to reach a growth target of 10% or higher
Phan Van Mai, chair of the National Assembly's Economic and Financial Committee, said reaching a growth target of 10% or higher in 2027 depends on choosing the right breakthrough and improving implementation, productivity and economic self-reliance. The committee's review says growth is high but its foundations are weak: the four largest localities, which account for nearly 47% of national GRDP, are all expected to miss their 2026 targets. Exports rose 24.5% while imports rose 36.7%, leaving a trade deficit of US$19.42 billion. Average CPI for nine months rose 4.52%, and credit growing faster than deposit mobilization added pressure on macroeconomic stability. Public investment disbursement reached 62.9% of plan, but 37% of disbursed funds were unrecovered advances. The report urged the government to set clear responsibilities, deadlines and outputs.
- Vietnam's Q4 economy: Accelerating but not complacent on inflation
Vietnam's GDP grew 9.01% in the first nine months and 9.95% in Q3, but reaching the full-year target of 10% or more will require strong Q4 growth. FDI disbursement reached $21.07 billion in nine months, up 12.1%, while public investment disbursement hit 62.9% of the Prime Minister's plan. Retail sales of goods and services rose 13.4% in nine months, or 7.8% excluding price effects. Exports reached $434.3 billion, up 24.5%, but imports rose 36.7%, producing a goods trade deficit of $19.42 billion; the FDI sector accounted for 80.7% of exports. ADB's Bùi Minh Giáp stressed raising domestic value added, disbursement efficiency and inflation control, but the source's section on monetary policy is incomplete.
- China GDP beats forecasts as export boom offsets weak demand
China's third-quarter GDP grew 4.5%, beating the 4.4% forecast and rebounding from three-year lows, as a surge in exports offset weak consumer spending and a prolonged property downturn. Growth in the first nine months was 4.6%, and analysts expect Beijing to meet its 4.5% to 5.0% target for 2026 without additional stimulus. However, September retail sales rose only 1.1% from a low base, fixed-asset investment fell 7.2% in January–September, and exports rose by more than a third, deepening reliance on overseas demand. ANZ and Societe Generale warned that trade tensions and weak household consumption pose risks to growth. The yuan rose to its strongest level since July 2022 after the data.
- Economic Watch: China economy sustains growth as innovation, openness gain ground
Official data released Monday showed China's GDP grew 4.6 percent year on year in the first three quarters, with third-quarter growth at 4.5 percent, up from 4.3 percent in the second quarter. The economy added 5.7 trillion yuan (about 851.9 billion U.S. dollars) in output over January to September, the largest increase for that period in five years, while September industrial output rose 5.5 percent. Experts quoted by Xinhua, including the IMF's Rodrigo Valdes, credited China's resilience, low interest rates, high savings and a not-fully-open financial account for limiting risks, and said growth within the 4.5 to 5 percent range reflects strong economic foundations. The article also highlights innovation-driven trade: exports of industrial robots, electronic components and electrical equipment exceeded 10 trillion yuan, up 58.9 percent, while integrated circuit exports surged 99.1 percent.

- Ukraine aid could cost EU at least 35 billion euros in interest; four countries object
The European Commission estimates the EU budget will need at least 35 billion euros (about $40.6 billion) over the next seven-year cycle to cover interest on loans tied to the 90 billion euro support package for Ukraine. Total interest could reach 41.9 billion euros (about $48.6 billion) if rates rise by one percentage point. An EC official said the joint budget has enough fiscal room, but the specific source of funding for these costs has not been clearly identified. The package, agreed in late 2025, covers Ukraine's needs for 2026-2027, and since 2014 the EU has provided about 171 billion euros (about $198.4 billion) in loans, mostly disbursed since 2022. The issue will be discussed at a special EU summit in Brussels on November 26-27, where Hungary, Czechia, Slovakia and Bulgaria reportedly oppose bearing interest costs on any new loans to Kyiv.

- Nvidia's web of AI bets: smart strategy or bubble risk?
Nvidia's $3 billion investment in Meta's share sale adds to a growing portfolio of stakes, loans and guarantees that some analysts say has made it the central bank of the AI boom. Its stakes include OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, neocloud providers CoreWeave and Nebius, and partners in Europe and Asia. Nvidia committed to buy up to $6.3 billion of unused CoreWeave computing capacity and, according to US media, holds about $36 billion in cloud backstops and a guarantee of up to $105 billion linked to an OpenAI data center. MIT's Michael Cusumano says its huge profits leave few better options, while Gil Luria of D.A. Davidson calls the approach unprecedented but says it "appears to be working." Some doubters still ask whether the deals are inflating an AI bubble.
- ServiceNow Stock Just Plunged More Than 20% in a Single Day. Here's What It Did After Its Other Biggest Drops.
ServiceNow shares fell about 25% to near $112 on Thursday after its third-quarter report, on track for their worst day since the company went public in 2012. Subscription revenue rose 21% to $3.99 billion and beat guidance, but the outlook disappointed, with fourth-quarter cRPO growth guided at just 18.5%. Management says much of the slowdown reflects early renewals in the third quarter that pulled deals out of the fourth, and expects fourth-quarter subscription revenue to grow 21.5% in constant currency. The stock has often recovered from past sharp drops, though it kept sliding after the January 2025 and December 2025 declines. At around 23 times expected 2027 earnings, the stock is now much cheaper than the roughly 30 times of the previous day.
- Intel plunges on a major guidance miss. What went wrong — and how to proceed
Intel's third-quarter revenue rose 21% year over year to 16.513 billion USD, slightly above the LSEG consensus of 16.496 billion USD, while non-GAAP EPS more than doubled to 52 cents against an estimate of 40 cents. However, its guidance showed heavy dependence on the struggling PC market, and the shares fell sharply after hours. PC sales fell 5% year over year but still account for more than half of the CCPG + DCAI products group's revenue and about 43% of Intel Products' operating income. Surging memory prices and limited manufacturing capacity are pressuring the PC market; CEO Lip-Bu Tan said demand for 2027 is significant, while CFO David Zinsner estimated a 300 million USD impact in the fourth quarter, likely similar in the first quarter. The article says analysts will need to revise estimates downward for several quarters, the rating is under review, and the price target is cut to 100 USD.
