THD shares of Thaiholdings hit the daily limit up 9.99% to VND 98,000 on October 12, their second consecutive limit-up session, though liquidity was only 4,400 shares. Thaiholdings registered to buy 78.32 million more Thaigroup shares in a rights offering, which would raise its holding to 250.64 million shares, though its ownership ratio is expected to fall to 44.36%. Earlier, the company cancelled its 2026 first extraordinary general meeting, so the planned charter capital increase was not put forward for consideration. Thaiholdings is also one of three partners proposing the Hanoi Twin Towers 99 project in Hanoi, about 568 m tall with total investment of USD 3–3.5 billion. In the first six months of 2026, net revenue reached VND 572 billion (+9%) and after-tax profit reached VND 101 billion, double the same period last year.

- Proposal Requires Fuel Firms to Announce New Prices at Least 30 Minutes in Advance
A draft decree from the Ministry of Industry and Trade proposes letting fuel importers and distributors set their own prices, but new prices must be announced at least 30 minutes in advance, with no early increases or delayed reductions. The state would stop periodically publishing base prices, though it could still set maximum prices or price bands when the market moves abnormally. Importers would need to own at least 40 retail stores, while existing firms must own at least 10 petrol stations in 2028, rising four-fold from early 2029. For the Petroleum Price Stabilisation Fund, the draft proposes ending contributions and spending from 2027, except budget advances under Resolution 69. Firms more than 60 days late in settling the fund could be temporarily suspended, and their licences revoked after 90 days.
- High Rates, Tight Funding: VIS Rating Warns of Weaker Credit for Banks and Businesses
VIS Rating expects rising operating costs and tighter funding to weaken the credit environment for Vietnamese banks and companies over the next 12 months, less favorable than the stable outlook for the first half of 2026. Retail fuel prices rose 19%-52% year on year and CPI rose 4.9%, squeezing debt-servicing cash flows, while lending rates are expected to stay high and credit growth is outpacing deposit mobilization. Residential real estate developers face the greatest risk: nationwide property transactions fell 36% year on year in Q2 2026, and the absorption rate for primary apartments in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City dropped to 73% from 95% in 2025. In contrast, infrastructure firms, large domestic consumer companies, and large and state-owned banks are seen as more resilient.
- What is it like running a Fortune 500 business? HP’s regional CTO on adopting AI safely and motivating tech teams
HP has fallen from 11th place on Fortune's 2006 list to No. 84 this year, overtaken by Apple, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft. To regain ground against tech rivals, HP is shifting its focus from hardware to solutions and experiences, which means understanding clients' challenges and identifying the right technologies and services. Rajendra Sitompoel, HP's CTO for the Nordics and Benelux, says his role recently expanded to cover the Nordics, making it a challenge to balance internal change with engagement with clients, CIOs and CTOs on AI and security. To motivate his team, he gives staff freedom to stress-test security within clear boundaries and keeps the focus on how customers and end users actually use and benefit from HP products.

- The sorrow of Europe's “big brother” economy: Bonds keep selling off heavily after a “turbulent weekend”
French 10-year government bond yields rose 0.14 percentage points to 4.93% after a turbulent weekend, while the spread over German bonds returned to 1.47 percentage points. Nationwide protests over rising living costs and student education conditions turned into widespread rioting and looting; the government said at least 3,000 shops and businesses were looted, and the French retail federation estimated damages could reach “several hundred million euros.” More than 2,500 people are under formal investigation, 67 of them detained, and several cities have imposed curfews. President Macron rejected Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez’s resignation offer, even though Nuñez admitted police were deployed too thinly for protests of over 550,000 people, against an expected 200,000. Opposition politicians and the mayors of Paris and Marseille criticized the government for letting police lose control of the situation.
- President Donald Trump Claims, "We Don't Have Inflation, and Tariffs Don't Cause Inflation," but a New Report Strongly Disagrees
Although the stock market has posted strong returns under President Trump, the article argues his inflation-driving policies may be the biggest threat to the AI-driven bull market. A New York Federal Reserve report by three economists finds that by February 2026, tariffs had added 2.9 percentage points to goods price inflation, and each percentage point increase in average tariffs lifted consumer prices by about a quarter of a point after one year. Beyond tariffs, the Iran war and the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz have pushed fuel prices sharply higher, with fuel oil up 74.0% and gasoline up 34.2% over the past year, while overall CPI rose 3.7%. The article warns that persistent inflation could prompt the Fed to raise rates more aggressively, slowing AI infrastructure investment and sending stocks lower.
- Bitcoin ETFs just saw their biggest day in a month thanks entirely to BlackRock
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $526.6 million on Monday, the largest daily net inflow in nearly a month, driven entirely by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in $665.2 million, its biggest daily inflow since Oct. 7 last year, according to SoSoValue data. Fidelity's FBTC lost $83.6 million and Grayscale's GBTC shed $54.9 million, while the remaining funds recorded no net flows. The inflow more than erased last week's $228.5 million of withdrawals, but funds remain about $90.5 million in net outflows for October, according to CoinDesk calculations. Ether funds moved the opposite way, losing $103.3 million in their fourth consecutive session of outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $95.4 million of that.
- A Big4 bank cut deposit rates in the morning, then raised them again in the afternoon
VietinBank cut its deposit rates for terms of 6 months and longer on the morning of Oct. 20, then restored them to pre-adjustment levels by the afternoon. Its afternoon rate board showed 3.5% per year for 6 to under 12 months, 5.9% for 12 to under 24 months and 6% for 24 months and longer, versus 3%, 5.4% and 5.5% in the morning. Rates for terms under 6 months stayed unchanged, including 2.1% for 1 to under 3 months and 2.4% for 3 to under 6 months. The move came as banks followed the State Bank of Vietnam's guidance to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points for terms of 6 months and longer, and Vietcombank and Agribank were among those reducing rates.
- IVV vs. SPY: Which S&P 500 ETF Is the Better Buy for Long-Term Investors?
The article compares two ETFs that track the S&P 500, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which have nearly identical holdings. The main difference is the expense ratio: IVV charges 0.03% a year, one-third of SPY's 0.09%, and its distribution yield is about 1.1% versus 1% for SPY. SPY's high liquidity remains valuable for active traders. The article concludes that IVV is the better choice for long-term investors, since lower costs can compound over time.
