- 'Black swan' event has a major impact on Vietnam’s diamond market
At PNJ’s extraordinary shareholders’ meeting on October 21, the company said customer buybacks surged from July after an incident involving the P-Lab director, with July’s total value reaching nearly 6,000 billion VND, almost equal to all of 2025 (about 7,000 billion VND). General Director Phan Quốc Công called the episode a “black swan,” and the company shortened payment times for some gold and jewelry products to 2–7 days, while diamonds remain at 120 days. The board proposed booking a 7,071 billion VND provision in 2026, which would push the pre-tax result to a loss of more than 6,000 billion VND, even though revenue is projected at 39,057 billion VND, up 10%. PNJ also plans to close 25–30 underperforming stores and issue up to 550 million shares in a private placement; Chairwoman Cao Thị Ngọc Dung apologized to shareholders.
- Gold futures: From policy direction to implementation conditions
Mr. Luong Hai Sinh, Chairman of the Vietnam Exchange (VNX), said VNX is studying gold derivatives and gold ETFs alongside preparing VN30 index options, as the legal framework for the gold market is being revised. A gold futures contract is a standardised, exchange-traded commitment to buy or sell gold at a price fixed today for delivery at a later date, requiring only a margin deposit rather than full payment. The product serves price discovery and hedging for businesses, but needs strong margin systems, risk monitoring and a central counterparty (CCP), a mechanism Vietnam's stock market is studying for Q1 2027. The article also cites Hong Kong Exchanges (HKEX), which since July 2017 has traded physically delivered 1-kilogram gold futures priced in both US dollars and offshore renminbi (CNH).

- Bank Profits Surge
The 9-month 2026 results show many banks continued to grow profits, with some posting record quarterly earnings. VPBank's pre-tax profit reached nearly VND 30,000 billion, up nearly 47%, equal to its full-year 2025 result and about 72.4% of its 2026 plan; Q3 pre-tax profit topped VND 11,000 billion. Techcombank posted VND 28,900 billion (up 23.7%), while LPBank reported VND 10,421 billion (up nearly 9%). SSI forecasts pre-tax profit of its monitored banks to rise 19.5% in 2026 before slowing to 15.4% in 2027, pressured by narrowing net interest margins and rising credit risk provisions. It also expects system-wide credit growth of 16-17% in 2027 and 17.9% for the monitored banks.
- World's Largest Gold Fund Dumps Over 10 Tonnes of Gold as Prices Slide
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, continued net selling of nearly 12 tonnes of gold in the 22/10 session, bringing total sales over 2 sessions to nearly 15 tonnes and cutting its holdings to about 1,046 tonnes. Spot gold fell more than 2.8% to around USD 4,025 per ounce at the close of 22/10, and briefly dipped below USD 4,000 per ounce in the morning session of 23/10. Tensions in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices higher, raising concerns about inflation and further Fed tightening, and gold has still not attracted sustained safe-haven demand even as US Treasury yields fell. US September CPI rose 0.6% month on month and 3.7% year on year, while PPI rose 1.3% and 6.3%. Markets price about an 84% chance the Fed holds rates steady at its 27-28/10 meeting and a 16% chance of a 25 basis-point increase; September PCE data due on 29/10 is the next key factor to watch.
- Company Linked to Billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong Announces Major Good News

- International Business : Global stocks nosedive as Meta dents AI optimism
Global stocks retreated as tech earnings failed to ease concerns about the AI outlook, with MSCI's All-World index set for its largest daily fall in two weeks, down 0.4 per cent. Meta beat third-quarter revenue expectations, but its plan to issue non-voting stock revived worries about its mounting capital commitments, and a New Mexico judge ordered it to pay a $25 billion penalty in a data privacy case. Brent crude rose nearly 3% to $112 a barrel, near a five-month high, after more Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia raised supply risks. Investors moved into government bonds, pushing the US 10-year yield down to 5.05%, below France's for the first time in 13 years, while French yields have climbed above 5% amid concerns over social unrest and debt. The France-Germany 10-year spread reached 177.7 basis points, its widest since 2011, while gold fell 1.8% to $4,070 an ounce.
- International Business : US jobless claims near 57 - year lows
The number of Americans filing new unemployment benefit claims fell to near 57-year lows last week, pointing to low layoffs and suggesting job growth may have picked up in October after weak September payrolls. Economists cite strong profit growth, robust domestic demand, a shrinking workforce from retirements and immigration curbs as reasons workers are being shielded from layoffs, though tighter financial conditions and higher rates from the Middle East conflict could weigh on the labour market next year. Initial claims fell 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 194,000 for the week ended October 17, below the 200,000 forecast by economists polled by Reuters, while the four-week average dropped to 197,750, its lowest since 1969. The number of people receiving benefits after their first week rose 25,000 to a still-low 1.728 million in the week ended October 10. Economists still describe the labour market as 'low-hire, low-fire', with uncertainty from the war and tariffs stymying hiring.
