National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man received heads of delegations from 16 Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) attending an international seminar hosted by the State Audit of Vietnam on October 27, which drew about 250 delegates and 13 papers on institutions, vision and innovation. Insights from the seminar will inform the State Audit's development strategy to 2035, its vision to 2045 and proposed amendments to the State Audit Law. On behalf of the international delegations, K. Sanjay Murthy, Comptroller and Auditor General of India and ASOSAI chair, said audit value lies in recommendations that help agencies fix shortcomings, and that SAIs must adopt AI and data analysis to shift toward early risk warnings. Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed that independence must go with accountability and that audit value is measured by positive changes in governance.

- Revealed: the private banks with the highest profits in the first nine months of 2026
As of the morning of 28 October, 15 banks had reported their first-nine-month 2026 results. VPBank led with pre-tax profit of nearly 30,000 billion VND, up nearly 47% year on year, driven by credit growth and stronger non-interest income. Techcombank ranked second with 28,900 billion VND, up 23.7%, while ACB reported 16,600 billion VND, up more than 3%. SHB posted a preliminary 14,300 billion VND (up 17%) and LPBank 10,421 billion VND (up nearly 9%), so five banks in the group of 15 have pre-tax profit above 10,000 billion VND. At the other end, Sacombank recorded 5,893 billion VND, down 46.4% from a year earlier.
- Sorrow for Technology Stocks on Vietnam's Stock Market
Leading technology stocks on Vietnam's exchange, including FPT, CMG and VNZ, have all fallen sharply from their record highs. FPT's market capitalization is about VND 105,000 billion, its lowest since August 2023; CMG is trading near its lowest level since September 2021; and VNG's market value is about VND 16,000 billion. The article says the rapid growth of AI, especially cheaper AI models that reduce demand for outsourcing services, may be one reason foreign investors have pulled back, with FPT net sold by more than VND 16,000 billion since early 2026, the second-largest net sale on the exchange. FPT's leadership has repeatedly said AI will reshape rather than replace IT services, and the group's workforce across its ecosystem reached nearly 90,000 people as of 30 September 2026, up 3,682 from the end of 2025.
- SCB cuts savings interest rates to nearly 0%
Saigon Commercial Bank (SCB) cut its deposit interest rates from October 26 by 1.5 to 3.2 percentage points, and now pays 0.5% a year for 6–11 month terms, 0.7% for 2–3 year terms, and 0.1% for terms under 6 months. The move came about a week after the State Bank of Vietnam asked banks to cut savings rates for terms of 6 months or more and lower lending rates. Since being placed under special control in mid-2022, SCB has typically received liquidity support from the State Bank and exemption from deposit insurance premiums, so it has less need to attract deposits with high rates, though it had once ranked among the highest-paying banks, such as 8.25% in 2022. SCB now has only 8 branches after 39 closed from mid-July, and it says handling collateral to recover bad debts is its top priority.
- Covered warrant market on 27/10/2026: Pessimism still lingers

Proprietary trading net bought nearly 220 billion VND, led by VPB (61 billion VND), TCB (52 billion VND) and MWG (over 50 billion VND), while its net selling was led by VGC (18 billion VND) and GMD (16 billion VND).
- Derivatives market on Oct 28, 2026: Remaining cautious
On Oct 27, 2026, VN30-Index closed at 1,888.4 points and VN100-Index at 1,791.65 points, with futures moving mixed. Derivatives trading volume and value rose 8.14% and 7.77% from the previous session, and foreign investors returned to net buying of 802 contracts. The basis of I1GB000 widened to 3.5 points, while I2GB000 reversed to 5.35 points. Technically, VN30-Index traded choppily with a near-Doji candle and volume below its 20-session average; ADX between 20 and 25 points to possible sideways trading, but the index remains above the Bollinger Bands middle line, and Stochastic and MACD are rising after crossing their signal lines, so the short-term outlook is described as not too negative.

- Breaking Development as 3 of Britain's 4 Nuclear-Armed Submarines Put to Sea
The United Kingdom has deployed 3 of its 4 Vanguard-class submarines to sea, and at least one of them carries nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles, according to Sky News. The unusual deployment of most of the fleet may indicate that operational readiness has been raised, though maintaining adequate readiness has been a challenge for the Royal Navy in recent years. The article suggests such moves may be a way to signal to rivals, and keeping at least one Trident-armed submarine at sea is seen as one of the most important guarantees of UK security. Last year, HMS Vanguard carried out a combat patrol of over 200 days, believed to be one of the longest in submarine force history, while HMS Victorious is currently undergoing maintenance at Devonport Naval Base.
- Iran stalls for time, Trump on edge
According to Iranian officials and experts, Iran is deliberately prolonging talks with the US to weaken President Donald Trump's political position before the 3 November midterm elections. Iran wants the US to meet a proposed 7-day ceasefire first, covering an end to hostilities, easing oil export curbs, releasing frozen assets and lifting the US maritime blockade, before nuclear talks that Washington wants at the center. Iranian officials believe Trump may resume strikes, so Tehran is preparing for new attacks rather than betting on a quick deal. Meanwhile, US gasoline has stayed above 4 USD per gallon since mid-June, fueling voter discontent that is hurting Republicans, and the war has now lasted nearly 8 months, far longer than Trump's initial prediction of a few weeks.
- 17,000 troops massed at hotspot, over 100 UAVs target Voronezh: Zelensky makes special offer to Putin
According to Russian media citing TST, Ukraine has massed about 17,000 troops in an area only 25 km wide where Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk meet, including airborne and marine brigades and the 3rd Regiment of the Special Operations Forces. Colonel Vladimir Antonyuk said the objectives later shifted to military-tactical targets, namely the transport junctions at Velikaya Novosyolka and Bogatyr, where Russian defenses had been reinforced beforehand. In the night of 25 to 26 October, Voronezh region was hit by over 100 UAVs; Governor Alexander Gusev said more than 70 were shot down around Voronezh city, and two people were killed and 17 injured, including a child. A Russian military expert said Kharkiv region could be a launch area and recalled Putin's order to the military to set up a buffer zone along the border. President Zelensky said Ukraine is ready to discuss a territorial exchange, but on one condition.
- RBC Says SpaceX Stock Has 50% Upside. S&P Global Just Warned About Its Hidden AI Debt. Here's Who I Think Is Right.
RBC reiterated its outperform rating and $225-per-share price target after SpaceX's Oct. 20 earnings, which showed $14.6 billion in revenue (up 161%) and $4.4 billion in earnings, versus a $1.1 billion loss in the year-earlier quarter. Starlink contributed $5.25 billion in revenue and $2.4 billion in operating income, and management guided first-quarter 2027 revenue to $33-37 billion, above the $22 billion Wall Street estimate. S&P Global, in contrast, warned that six top hyperscalers, including SpaceX, plan to spend $7 trillion on AI through 2029, including guarantees that do not appear as debt on balance sheets. SpaceX's AI capex was $19.6 billion last quarter and is estimated at $35-40 billion this quarter, while the company is finalizing a $40 billion off-balance-sheet debt structure. The article concludes that the outcome of this AI bet remains uncertain.
- Savings rates fall to near 0% at one bank
Ngan hang TMCP Sai Gon (SCB) cut its online savings rates for new individual customers to 0.1-0.7% per year from October 26, 2026, well below the system's general level. Deposits of 31, 39 and 45 days and 1 to 5 months earn 0.1% per year, 6 to 11 months 0.5%, 12, 13, 15 and 18 months 0.6%, and 24 and 36 months 0.7%, the highest in the table. For 100 million VND deposited for 12 months at 0.6% per year, interest at maturity is 600,000 VND; for 24 months at 0.7%, estimated interest is 1.4 million VND, assuming the rate holds and no early withdrawal. The move follows an October 21 directive from the State Bank of Vietnam requiring banks to cut average deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points per year for new deposits of six months or longer in late 2026. SCB has been under special control since 2022 and has shrunk from nearly 240 transaction points to about 8 across 6 localities.
- Indian investors rush to Nvidia, SpaceX, Apple as local trading apps roll out access to U.S. stocks
Major Indian platforms Groww, Zerodha and Angel One are opening U.S. stock trading to retail investors, previously available mainly to wealthier Indians through global banks. Groww, which accounts for more than 29% of the country's 46 million active investors, offers access to more than 10,000 U.S. stocks, ETFs and fractional shares, with NVIDIA, SpaceX and Apple among the most popular among early users. Demand is driven by Indian underperformance: the Nifty 50 has fallen nearly 13% since the start of the year while the S&P 500 has gained over 12%, and foreign investors have pulled a record $32.5 billion from Indian equities this year. Resident Indians sent over $321 million abroad for equity and debt investment in August, up 111% from a year earlier. Kotak Mahindra's Nitin Jain cautioned that regulators could have second thoughts about retail access to U.S. markets as participation grows.
