- A Small Bank Draws in More Deposits Than Big Banks in 9 Months
According to its Q3 financial report, total customer deposits at National Citizen Bank (NCB) rose from nearly 128,000 billion VND at the start of the year to over 185,000 billion VND at the end of September, an increase of 65,000 billion VND, higher than the gains at Techcombank, ACB and many other private banks. Outstanding loans grew 55% from the start of the year to 150,660 billion VND, among the fastest growth rates in the system, with contributions from priority projects on the State Bank's list. For the first nine months, pre-tax profit exceeded 1,570 billion VND, up 140%; in Q3 alone, profit was nearly 850 billion VND, about 4.4 times the same period last year. The non-performing loan ratio fell sharply from 8.6% to nearly 4.9% of outstanding loans. The bank also recently raised its charter capital to nearly 29,300 billion VND and is financing major infrastructure projects in Hanoi, Phú Quốc and Ho Chi Minh City.
- Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang asks for 1.5–2% cut in lending rates for production, business and priority sectors
On October 16, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang chaired a meeting on year-end monetary policy to implement Conclusion 106 of the Party Central Committee, focusing on lowering interest rates to support businesses, people and economic growth. He praised the coordination between the State Bank and the Ministry of Finance, but said lending rates remain high, raising capital costs and limiting access to credit amid complex global developments and lingering bad-debt risks. He asked the State Bank to review its past efforts to stabilize rates and to urgently cut lending rates by 1.5–2% for production, business and priority sectors. Other requirements include tighter control of bad debt, stronger inspection of rate compliance, and restructuring of weak credit institutions, including addressing back-door influence, cross ownership, hidden ownership and manipulation.
- Vietcombank Unexpectedly Books VND 5,000 Billion in Provisions for One Bond Batch
Vietcombank booked VND 6,184 billion in provisions in Q3 2026, nearly 8 times the same period last year, with about VND 5,000 billion going to one corporate bond batch linked to an energy-sector client, which it provisioned in full at 100%. Vietcap said the bonds had been moved to non-performing loans from Q4 2025 without full provisioning at that time, and the move fell outside its expectations. Annualised credit costs for the first nine months rose to 0.75% from 0.20%, but excluding the bond batch, asset quality remained sound, with the NPL ratio at 0.71%. Core earnings grew, with nine-month net interest income up 34.5% to VND 57,179 billion and nine-month NIM reaching 3.02%, up 45 basis points. Vietcap said that despite the bond provision, Vietcombank should continue growing credit, NIM and non-interest income, supporting its profit outlook.
- Top 10 Banks by Profit in Q3 2026: VietinBank Overtakes Vietcombank, 6 Banks Earn Over VND 10,000 Billion
According to third-quarter 2026 financial statements, the top 10 banks by pre-tax profit earned a combined VND 87,891 billion, up 23.8% year on year and accounting for 83% of profit across 27 banks. VietinBank rose to first with VND 13,688 billion (+29%), overtaking Vietcombank, which fell to second with VND 11,218 billion (-0.2%), while BIDV passed Techcombank to take fourth place. Sacombank dropped out of the top 10 as its quarterly profit fell 51.9% to VND 1,757 billion due to sharply higher provisions, with SHB entering in ninth place. Vietcombank's provisions rose nearly eightfold to VND 6,184 billion from VND 776 billion a year earlier; Vietcap Securities estimates about VND 5,000 billion of this is a one-off provision for corporate bonds of a client reclassified as non-performing since Q4 2025.
- VietinBank leads bank sector profits in Q3
VietinBank reported third-quarter pre-tax profit of 13,688 billion VND, up 22% year on year, overtaking Vietcombank as the largest bank by profit this quarter. Net interest income, the core measure of banking operations, reached 21,815 billion VND, up 27%, while net income from services, foreign exchange and other activities all grew strongly. The bank credited the results to tighter control of capital costs, a rebalanced credit portfolio, risk management and lending to sectors prioritized by the government. However, for the first nine months, pre-tax profit of 39,557 billion VND (up 34%) still ranked second behind Vietcombank. As of September 30, total assets reached 2.95 million billion VND (up 7%), outstanding loans exceeded 2.1 million billion VND, deposits were 1.94 million billion VND, and bad debt stood at 25,781 billion VND, or 1.2% of loans, up 0.1% from the start of the year.

- NVDA Shares Inch Higher Overnight After 4-Day Rout: Chipmaker Reportedly Tells Cloud Clients To Limit China Exposure
Nvidia (NVDA) shares rose 0.8% in overnight trading after a four-session slide. The Financial Times reported that Nvidia has told its cloud computing clients to scale back exposure to Chinese companies, requiring at least 51% of their services to be sold to customers outside China, though the rules apply only to future contracts. An Nvidia spokesman said America's AI infrastructure must win worldwide. Separately, Marvell (MRVL) agreed to buy Lumentum (LITE) in an all-stock deal valuing it at an implied enterprise value of $115 billion, and Nvidia had invested $2 billion in each company earlier this year.

- FTSE 100 falls amid global tech rout, looming U.S. mid-terms and BoE
The FTSE 100 fell 0.4% on Tuesday, snapping a four-session winning streak, as Associated British Foods (ABF) shares dropped 3%. ABF reported adjusted operating profit of £1.508 billion for the fiscal year ended September 12, 2026, down 14% year on year, hit by weak consumer spending at Primark and a sharp slump in European sugar prices. Broader sentiment was also weighed by Apple's warning that memory chip costs would compress gross margins and Oracle's plan to raise $20 billion for AI and cloud infrastructure. Investors also remained cautious ahead of U.S. midterm elections, with all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats contested, and the Bank of England's rate decision later this week.

HPG was the top net-bought stock on HoSE at over 227 billion dong, followed by SHB and VHM at 125 billion and 119 billion dong. On HNX, foreigners net bought 7 billion dong, led by MBS, while on UPCOM they net sold 2.5 billion dong. Market sentiment remained cautious, with the index swinging sharply during the session.
- European shares slide as Apple margin warning trigger global tech rout
The pan-European STOXX 600 fell 0.7% on Tuesday, with Germany's DAX down nearly 1% and France's CAC 40 down 0.5%, as a global tech sell-off spread. Apple's warning that rising memory chip prices would squeeze gross margins through the holiday quarter hit European chip stocks, with ASML, ASM International and BE Semiconductor down 2% to 4% and STMicroelectronics and Infineon each down over 3%. Oracle's plan to raise $20 billion for cloud and AI infrastructure added to worries over tech spending. Koninklijke Philips rose 6.4% after higher quarterly profit, while Lufthansa gained 1.6% despite narrowing its full-year 2026 operating profit forecast due to soaring jet fuel costs.
- The Qeshm strike and the risk of escalating airstrikes: What is Trump calculating on Iran and the midterm elections?
The U.S. strike on Qeshm island on the night of Nov. 2 is described as a controlled response to Iran firing on a U.S. aircraft, rather than the start of a broader campaign. According to The Atlantic, the White House has discussed scenarios ranging from strikes lasting a few hours to multi-week campaigns, with any major escalation seen as more likely once the midterm results are clear. Trump is reportedly seeking to use limited military pressure to bring Iran back to the negotiating table, while rising gasoline prices and living costs weigh on voters. A Reuters/Ipsos poll found about 60% of Americans, including some Republicans, do not approve of how Trump is handling Iran. Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has ordered the armed forces to be ready to respond if the conflict resumes.
