Vietnam's tuna exports to the US reached over US$280 million (VND 7,300 billion) in the first nine months of 2026, up 9% year on year, with the US accounting for nearly 39% of total tuna export value. Growth came mainly from frozen tuna meat and loin, as rivals adjusted output and some importers accelerated contracts and early deliveries ahead of expected US tax policy changes. Across all markets, exports reached nearly US$720 million, up 6%, while September hit nearly US$86 million, up 18%, the fourth straight month of growth. The article says the outlook still faces pressure from costs, import requirements, and traceability and certification rules. It also notes that the Vietnam-EFTA free trade agreement (VEFTA) has been signed but is not yet in force, so its tariff preferences cannot yet apply.

- Trump Canada tariffs put dairy , lumber and market access at risk
President Trump’s escalating trade fight with Canada is squeezing its economy, with U.S. tariffs on roughly $20 billion in goods still in place. Steel exports have fallen by roughly half since the tariffs took effect, and lumber exports were about 20% below 2024 levels earlier this year, according to the Bank of Canada. Consumer prices were 3% higher in August than a year earlier, with grocery prices up 2.8% and transportation costs up 7.5%, while goods hit by retaliatory tariffs rose roughly 6% more than unaffected products. David Clement of the Consumer Choice Center said U.S. complaints about Canadian dairy access are valid, though dairy is a small part of a relationship in which more than 99% of trade was duty-free before 2025. Higher energy prices tied to the Iran war add another squeeze ahead of the midterm elections.
- EU inviting disaster by imposing carbon tax on steel , says Goyal
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said at the Berlin Global Dialogue that the EU is “inviting disaster” with its carbon border tax (CBAM) on steel, which he said would raise infrastructure costs and the cost of living. He argued that the EU's 75-77 regulations and a 50% import duty on steel make its industry uncompetitive and could create non-tariff barriers for trade partners. Under CBAM, Indian steel, aluminium and cement exports to the EU could face tariffs of 20-35%. Goyal said India accounts for only 3-3.5% of global carbon emissions while supporting 17% of the world's population, and that its per capita emissions are 7-8 times lower than those of Western nations. He added that CBAM does not recognise the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities.

- China's Trade Surplus Nears $1 Trillion
China's trade surplus reached $938 billion in the first nine months, on track to beat last year's record of $1,100 billion. September exports rose more than 36% from a year earlier, the highest since February, while imports climbed 31%, above forecasts. Strong overseas demand is offsetting weak domestic consumption and easing pressure to meet the 4.5-5% GDP growth target, even as producer prices rose at their fastest pace in four years while consumer prices edged up below expectations. After Xi Jinping and Donald Trump met in Washington, both sides extended their trade truce and agreed to cut tariffs on an additional $30 billion of each other's goods. Planned EU restrictions on hybrid cars could pressure China's auto industry, so automakers are rushing exports before detailed EU rules are published in December, while Washington and Brussels still blame Beijing's industrial and currency policies for the surplus.
- Vietnam's import-export turnover tops US$1,000 billion for the first time
As of 29/10, Vietnam's goods import-export turnover reached about US$1,001.3 billion, surpassing US$1,000 billion for the first time with more than two months left in the year. Exports reached about US$493.6 billion (up 27.2%) and imports US$507.6 billion (up 37.6%), with the FDI sector accounting for about US$778 billion. The top three product groups, namely computers and electronics, phones and components, and machinery and equipment, totaled about US$532 billion, up 49%. October's trade surplus was estimated at US$6.8 billion, the second straight monthly surplus, bringing the 10-month cumulative trade deficit down to about US$12.7 billion. Vietnam ranks 18th globally in exports and 20th in imports, and second in ASEAN behind Singapore in goods trade volume.
- Setting an unprecedented record in history, a Vietnamese sector passes 1,000 billion USD in just 10 months
Vietnam's total goods trade reached 1,010.6 billion USD in the first 10 months of 2026, up 32.3% year on year and passing the 1,000 billion USD mark, with October alone at 122.2 billion USD, up 47.6%. Exports were estimated at 499 billion USD, up 27.4%, with processing industry goods making up 87.4% of export turnover and growth recorded in both domestic and FDI sectors. October posted an estimated trade surplus of 6.8 billion USD, the second straight monthly surplus, which cut the cumulative 10-month trade deficit to about 12.7 billion USD. The Ministry of Industry and Trade is drafting a strategy to 2030 targeting export growth of 15-16% a year and import growth of 12-13% a year, and aims for Vietnam to rank among the world's top 10 countries in export and import turnover by 2045.

- Medtronic Just Retired 55 Million Shares Without Spending Cash. Is the Stock a Buy?
After spinning off its diabetes business as MiniMed (MMED), Medtronic (MDT) received about 55 million of its own shares in the final results of its oversubscribed split-off and exchange offer, so future net income will be spread across fewer shares, which the article says can support EPS growth. It gives three points: Medtronic has raised its dividend for 49 consecutive years and could reach the 50-year mark if it raises the dividend in 2027 as expected, while only 59 of roughly 7,000 major U.S.-listed stocks are on the “Dividend King” list; and its trailing cash dividend payout ratio is just under 60%. Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 rose nearly 14% to $9.8 billion, and EPS rose 15% to $1.45. Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $36.4 billion, up 8.4%, supported by more than 50 new FDA approvals and clearances. The stock trades at about 16 times forward earnings and 24 times trailing earnings, below Johnson & Johnson, Edwards Lifesciences, Abbott Labs and Stryker.
- Pentagon urges Baltic NATO members to stop 'provoking' Russia
According to four sources close to the matter, US Under Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby has privately urged officials in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to refrain from 'provoking' Russia, and pressed Estonia to be cautious in its public statements. The Pentagon declined to comment on the private exchanges, and it is unclear whether other NATO allies received similar warnings. The message follows sharp rhetoric from Baltic leaders, including Estonia's prime minister comparing Vladimir Putin to a 'cornered rat' and Latvia's foreign minister accusing Russia of 'state-sponsored terrorism' over an explosive-laden drone found at a German airport, which Putin denied. The development comes as Washington temporarily eased sanctions to allow Russian diesel imports after a 9 October call between President Trump and Putin.
- AMZN Q3 deep dive: cloud surge and AI investments drive mixed market reception
Amazon's third-quarter 2026 revenue rose 12.1% year on year to $201.9 billion, in line with the $202.3 billion analyst estimate, while GAAP EPS of $1.89 missed the $1.96 expectation by 3.4%. Operating margin widened to 13.9% from 9.7% a year earlier. AWS grew 39.3%, its fastest pace in nearly five years and an acceleration for a sixth straight quarter, driven by AI infrastructure demand and custom chips such as Trainium and Graviton, which saved customers more than $2 billion in Q3 alone. Management expects next-quarter revenue of about $243.5 billion and said it believes AWS can grow north of 40% in 2027 and 2028, although near-term profitability may fluctuate with higher operating costs. Prime members ordering groceries with same-day delivery have tripled, and advertising growth is expected to return to the high teens after a slowdown tied to Prime Day timing.

- Arctic Giant: What the West “Doesn’t Want to Reveal” About Russia’s Northern Border Region
An RT article argues that Russia, which holds about 53% of the Arctic coastline, sees major economic, commercial and military potential in the region amid competition with the West. As ice melts, Moscow aims to turn the Northern Sea Route into a profitable trade link between Europe and Asia, while the Arctic is warming nearly four times faster than the global average. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas described the region on October 20 as the “frontline of global power competition” and accused Moscow of militarizing it, while Russia denies threatening anyone and says NATO is escalating tensions. Estimates of undiscovered but recoverable resources put the Arctic at about 90 billion barrels of oil and 1,669 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and Russia was the first country to formally submit an extended continental shelf claim to the UN in 2001.
