- How can Vietnam turn 13.7 million trading accounts into long-term capital flows?
Vietnam has about 13.7 million securities accounts but only around 100 funds, compared with nearly 5,000 public funds in South Korea as of end-September 2026. Hyun Dong-sik, Chairman of the Members' Council of KIM Vietnam Fund Management Co., says FTSE Russell's upgrade to secondary emerging market status is a necessary condition to attract foreign capital, while sustainable growth requires suitable products such as regular fund investing and wider distribution through banks. After South Korea's tech bubble burst and the KOSDAQ fell over 80%, regular fund investing became popular from 2004, and regular fund accounts exceeded 13 million by the end of 2007. He argues that income is no longer a major barrier for Vietnam, where GDP per capita has passed 5,000 USD.
- 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.

- Dragon Capital CEO: International financial centre must ensure 'easy inflows and outflows of foreign currency'
Dragon Capital CEO Lê Anh Tuấn says an international financial centre (VIFC) must ensure investors can bring USD in and move it back out easily, without procedural obstacles, at a session on October 27 within AEF 2026. He cites record 9-month FDI of over US$50 billion registered and US$21 billion disbursed, while FII recorded net outflows of US$5 billion, and nearly US$20 billion over five years. He argues that portfolio managers face regulatory, currency-hedging and daily procedural hurdles that create instability, and proposes that VIFC offer products that are hard to access domestically, easy FX hedging, USD-denominated derivatives and bonds, and stable, consistent rules. VIFC-HCMC director Richard D. McClellan said the centre has 10 initial members and offers a one-stop mechanism, USD-denominated contracts and free profit repatriation. Talgat Amanbayev of Astana's AIFC said that after eight years the centre had attracted US$27 billion in registered capital and disbursed US$17 billion.

- Prediction: This Magnificent ETF Will Crush the S&P 500 Over the Next 10 Years
Some leading investment strategists see a sluggish period ahead for the S&P 500, citing higher-for-longer interest rates and overvalued large caps, with a 10-year CAPE ratio above 40, the highest since the dot-com boom. The author argues the iShares Global Equity Factor ETF (GLOF) could beat the S&P 500 over the next decade: it is a global fund with 61% in U.S. stocks and 7% in Japan, holding stocks with the highest scores on momentum, quality, value, low volatility and size. The fund holds 684 stocks, with Apple, Nvidia and Microsoft as its largest positions. Over the past 10 years its annualized total return was 12% versus 15.4% for the S&P 500, but over the past one and three years it has outperformed: 15.8% vs 13.5%, and 24.1% vs 23.7%.
- Micron Is Up 225% This Year and Still Trades at 5 Times Earnings. Is It Too Late?
Micron is up 221.96% year to date and trades at about 5x forward earnings, while 24/7 Wall St.'s model carries a Buy rating with a $987.56 price target against an $877.55 reference price. Fiscal Q4 revenue reached $54.23B, beating the $50.97B estimate and up 379.27% year over year, and non-GAAP EPS of $33.42 topped the $31.35 estimate; gross margin widened to 87% from 45.7%. Management guided fiscal Q1 2027 revenue to $61.5B ±$1.5B and EPS to $38.15 ±$1.00. The bull case reaches $1,348.03 and the bear case $743.23, the latter citing memory's cyclicality and $30.71B of FY26 capex. Micron has committed more than 75% of fiscal 2027 shipments, yet the stock remains 27% below its all-time high.
- 4M Bitcoin Bought Above $85K Could Cap Recovery: Glassnode
Glassnode says about 4 million BTC held by long-term holders were bought between $85,000 and $118,000, mostly in 2025, while Bitcoin trades near $81,400. The average price U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs paid is $81,500 according to Glassnode, leaving ETF holders near break-even. Analysts say the $84,000–$85,000 band has turned prices back several times, and a rally toward that level could prompt long-term holders to sell to break even. The Fed held rates at 3.75% to 4.00% in a 10-2 vote, while the 10-year Treasury yield sat just under 5%. ETF inflows picked up to about $424 million from Monday to Wednesday, but Tim Sun of HashKey argues the core issue is insufficient new buying rather than panic selling.
- Pimco Cut AI Debt Stakes by Half and Skirted Losses
According to Bloomberg, Pimco has cut its holdings by about 50% in two AI data center financings: roughly $18 billion of Meta-related debt and the $10 billion Oracle Michigan campus deal. It sold about $3 billion of Meta's Beignet bonds while they traded above par, whereas Oracle's Michigan notes, issued at 98.7 cents, have slid to around 88 cents. Pimco still remains one of the largest holders of both financings. The firm has also passed on several major deals and has warned about lax underwriting in private credit, a market now above $1.8 trillion. The article suggests tougher pricing on data center loans could raise developers' borrowing costs.
- The AI Buyback Wave: Rule Breaker Signal or Noise?
SK Hynix said it will buy back about $22 billion of its stock this year, in addition to an earlier program, after its shares fell about 24% in the month before it reported a sixth straight quarter of record sales and profits. Nvidia announced a new $150 billion buyback that brings its total authorization to $235 billion, and Micron disclosed that its board authorized up to $35.16 billion in repurchases. The article notes that an authorization is only a ceiling and does not commit a company to buying, and that buybacks offsetting stock paid to employees may leave the share count little changed. It argues that whether these buybacks signal management confidence depends on actual purchases and on cash flow from still-growing businesses, since memory chip cash piles tend to be largest near cyclical peaks.
- Sudden Escalation: Kremlin Responds Within Minutes to Zelensky's Proposal - 10 Countries Discuss Nuclear Strike
Russia's Defense Ministry said its forces took the village of Barilovka in Sumy province, advancing about 5 km into Ukrainian defenses in a single day, according to the “Two Majors” military channel. Zelensky said he is willing to discuss territorial concessions only in direct talks with Putin, and the Kremlin replied that a meeting is possible in theory but requires serious diplomatic preparation first. Trump said a high-level Russia-Ukraine meeting could take place soon, and The Atlantic reported he wants it in Miami during the G20 summit expected on December 14–15. Putin said that if Zelensky wants a direct meeting, he could travel to Moscow and would be guaranteed safety. Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said the first round with Ukraine and the U.S. will be technical, with results expected at the earliest after a third meeting.
