The VN-Index rose 13.52 points (0.77%) to 1,774 points on October 23, its third straight gain, with trading value on HoSE exceeding VND 16,330 billion. Large-cap stocks supported the index, with VIC adding nearly 6 points and STB hitting the ceiling price, although market breadth remained narrow with 144 gainers and 156 decliners on HoSE. Foreign investors net sold nearly VND 470 billion, mainly of ACB, but net bought about VND 152 billion of TCB. The article notes that news of Nguyễn Đức Thụy being nominated for VFF chairman was not the direct cause of STB's ceiling gain.

- VN-Index drops 16 points after strong rally
VN-Index reversed from a strong early rally to close 16 points lower in the first session of the week, finishing below 1,690 points, its lowest in nearly 3 months and more than 12% below its record high of 1,927 points. Selling pressure focused on banks, with VIC down nearly 4% and pulling the index down more than 13 points, while oil and gas stocks such as PVT, BSR and GAS rose about 1-2% and helped limit the decline. Liquidity reached over VND 13,000 billion, and foreign investors extended their net selling to 19 consecutive sessions, buying about VND 1,400 billion against sales of about VND 2,200 billion. MBS said seasonality is driving the market, as October has historically been the weakest period of the year, and Q3 earnings may not be enough to create a broad ripple effect. TPS sees the index nearing long-term support around 1,685 points, with any sustained recovery depending on improved liquidity.

- Russia sets conditions for normalizing relations with the US and the West
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said on 22 October, at the 19th Verona Eurasian Economic Forum, that normalizing Russia's relations with the US and Europe depends entirely on lifting all sanctions. He said relations cannot develop while the sides are effectively walking through a minefield, with no way to know where sanctions will be applied. Grushko accused the EU of seeking to contain Russia across the Balkans, the South Caucasus, the Baltic region and the Arctic, and argued that the bloc has identified Russia as its main strategic threat and is preparing for war. The two-day forum, held on 22 and 23 October in Istanbul, draws participants from more than 30 countries.
- Higgsfield Extends Series B With New Investment From TCV and NVIDIA

- 10-year Treasury yield drops back to 5% this week as investors seek cover from AI worries
U.S. 10-year Treasury yields fell back below 5% this week as fears about artificial intelligence pushed investors toward safe-haven assets. On Friday the 10-year yield rose 4 basis points to 4.997%, while the 2-year yield climbed 5 basis points to 4.692%. Tech stocks sold off, yields on tech companies' outstanding debt rose and credit default swap spreads widened for many AI firms, amid concern over the massive debt they are taking on to build AI infrastructure. Oil stayed high: December-delivery WTI rose 1.16% to $100.61 a barrel and Brent rose 0.79% to $114.06 a barrel after fresh attacks by Iran-backed Houthi militants on Saudi oil installations. Investors are also awaiting the Federal Reserve's rate decision next week and flash S&P Global PMI readings.
- PayPal Is Down More Than 80% From Its Peak. Here's Why I Still Own It
PayPal shares have fallen more than 80% from their mid-2021 peak of about $310, and takeover-talk reports have faded. The author still holds the stock despite trading below his average cost, arguing it offers one of the best risk-reward profiles in value investing. In the most recent quarter, revenue grew 5% and total payment volume rose 10% year over year, while free cash flow reached $1.8 billion and buybacks have been aggressive. At about 10 times forward earnings, the author argues PayPal does not need rapid growth; if income grows about 4% a year and the share count shrinks about 8% annually, EPS could still rise at a double-digit pace. The author says he would reconsider if the branded checkout business keeps losing ground.
- Fewer people are flying as airfare soars. Here's why airlines aren't worried
The number of people screened at US airport checkpoints is on track for its first annual decline since 2020, but major carriers say prioritizing higher fares matters more than filling seats. American's load factor fell to 83.4% in the third quarter from 86% a year earlier, while September fares rose more than 22% year over year as airlines pass fuel costs on to customers. Southwest's average third-quarter fare was $231.69, up nearly $50, even though its passenger count fell 3.2% to about 33.5 million. Since April, about 9.3 million fewer people have been screened than in the same period of 2025, a drop of less than 2%, and American, United, Delta and Southwest have all cut their 2026 profit forecasts. Bank of America said some customers of Spirit Airlines, which went out of business in early May, have likely stopped flying.
- On the ground at Nvidia's AI showpiece: Jensen-mania, robot ducks and neocloud distress
At Nvidia's GTC in Berlin, Jensen Huang met world leaders and announced new products, while public neocloud stocks sold off, with CoreWeave down 10% and Nebius down 7% at the close amid concerns over heavy borrowing. Huang said demand for neoclouds remains extremely strong, though many people at the event were worried about companies with no credit rating. Huang announced a product that packs seven Vera Rubin AI racks into a shipping container designed to travel on normal roads, aiming to bring data centers online faster. Goldman Sachs estimates AI-related capital spending could total $7.6 trillion from 2026 through 2031, and Huang said a 1 gigawatt data center costs about $50 billion. Huang argued that capital demand far exceeds supply but that this will be solved, while one financing executive warned that capital could soon become the bottleneck.
