- Some Observations on the AI Economy & Monetary Policy - Remarks by Mr Edward S . Robinson , Deputy Managing Director ( Economic Policy ) & Chief Economist , Monetary Authority of Singapore , at the 2026 Beijing Financial Street Forum on 20 October...
A speech by Edward S. Robinson, Deputy Managing Director and Chief Economist of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, argues that the AI investment boom is a major force sustaining global demand, while productivity gains verified from the technology remain limited so far. He describes an era of more frequent and overlapping shocks, including the Middle East conflict that began in end-February and became a global energy shock, which test economies' capacity to absorb disruptions. Despite this, world merchandise trade is estimated to have grown 2.4% in 2025 as firms diversified sourcing, and AI-driven electronics account for over 70% of Asia's export growth this year. The speech says strength in AI-producing sectors mainly reflects capital accumulation and higher capital utilisation rather than broad total factor productivity gains. Drawing on the history of electrification, it suggests economy-wide productivity benefits take time and depend on the breadth of adoption, complementary investment in skills and infrastructure, and organisational change.

- Call on former VNCB Deputy General Director to surrender
Vietnam's Supreme People's Procuracy (Department 3) has called on Đỗ Hoàng Linh and Trần Trọng Nghĩa, both former VNCB officials, to surrender during the prosecution stage. On October 4, the Ministry of Public Security's investigation police sent their case conclusion No. 96 and the case file, recommending prosecution for violating lending rules at credit institutions under Article 179 of the 1999 Penal Code. Both are fugitives subject to wanted notices issued in 2015 and 2018. Surrendering would allow them to seek leniency and exercise their defense rights, while continued flight would be treated as a waiver of those rights, with prosecution and trial proceeding. Linh was previously sentenced in 1999 to three years in prison, suspended, for fraud.

- 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.
- Warren Buffett Is Issuing a Stark Warning About the Stock Market. Here's What History Says Comes Next.
Warren Buffett has warned that investors are taking on too much risk, likening the market to 'a church with a casino attached' and saying people have never been in a more gambling mood. The article points to the S&P 500 Shiller CAPE Ratio, which has stayed above 40 since May of this year; historically, the only other time it held above that level for months was during the dot-com bubble, when it peaked around 44 before the bear market began in March 2000. The article notes that 40 is not an automatic trigger for a downturn, and no metric can predict timing. It suggests investors focus on quality stocks with solid fundamentals and be ready to hold them for at least a few years.
- Early Uber Investor Jason Calacanis Predicts Waymo Could Buy Lucid Or Rivian — Calls Its Chinese-Car Optics ‘Really Bad’
Early Uber investor Jason Calacanis predicts Waymo will buy Lucid Group (LCID) or Rivian Automotive (RIVN), arguing that its reliance on Chinese-made Zeekr vehicles creates cost and reputational problems. He says the arrangement is technically not illegal today, but Waymo would need to pay a tariff of over 100%, and it has drawn national-security concerns on Capitol Hill. According to Semafor, Waymo aims to grow its fleet from about 4,000 vehicles to 8,000 by the end of 2026 and 20,000 by the end of 2027, after closing a $5 billion term loan and a $16 billion equity raise this year. Uber has committed to buying at least 35,000 Lucid vehicles, while its Rivian deal starts with 10,000 autonomous R2 SUVs, with rides expected to begin in 2028. Calacanis, who recently bought small stakes in Lucid, Rivian, WeRide (WRD) and Pony.ai (PONY), expects consolidation in the autonomous-driving sector within 24 months.
