- 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.
- Dragon Capital CEO: Financial centre must make foreign currency inflows and outflows easy
At the 27 October session on attracting capital to financial centres during AEF 2026, Le Anh Tuan, CEO of Dragon Capital, said an international financial centre must ensure investors can bring USD in and move it back home smoothly. He noted diverging flows: FDI hit a record in the first nine months, with over USD 50 billion registered and USD 21 billion disbursed, while FII saw net outflows of USD 5 billion, and nearly USD 20 billion has been withdrawn from indirect investment over five years. He proposed that VIFC address three demands: access to products limited in the domestic market, easy currency hedging and transfers, and stable, clear and consistent regulations. VIFC-HCMC CEO Richard D. McClellan said the centre already has 10 founding members and the city plans to issue regulations in November. Talgat Amanbayev of AIFC in Kazakhstan noted that over eight years, AIFC attracted USD 27 billion in registered capital and disbursed USD 17 billion.
- 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.
- Foreign investors net sell over 900 billion VND
Foreign investors net sold about 908 billion VND in the second straight session, the highest level in half a month, pushing the VN-Index down nearly 11 points to 1,763.5 points. FPT saw the heaviest net selling at 258 billion VND, while other tickers saw sales of only tens of billions each, and foreign buying in MSN, TCB and VIC was modest. Johan Nyvene, chairman of HSC, said capital allocation depends on investor sentiment, economic and political conditions and expected returns relative to risk, and that the market upgrade is a long-prepared roadmap rather than an overnight change. On HoSE, 203 stocks fell against 97 that rose, and total trading value dropped more than 20% to about 13,500 billion VND, reflecting caution. VCBS said cash flow remains fragmented and concentrated in large-caps, while BSI noted investors should avoid raising exposure too quickly before the trend is confirmed.

Market professionals are growing wary of the AI trade after a week of heavy data in tech, as investors question whether returns will arrive fast enough to justify the massive infrastructure build-out. Although the S&P 500 is only a few percent below its record, helped by rotation into non-AI names such as Procter & Gamble and Berkshire Hathaway, many AI-related shares are already in or near a bear market. The Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF fell 4% this week, 8% in October, and sits 15% below its summer record, while the iShares Semiconductor ETF is down 29% from its recent high. The article says profit-taking or hedging may be worth considering, and notes that options traders are buying more downside protection; Alphabet fell more than 10% after reporting lower core advertising revenue, and Anthropic's filing gave little forward revenue information after sales slowed from Q2 to Q3.

Amazon shares fell more than 7% in premarket trading on Friday but pared those losses during the session. CEO Andy Jassy said the company expects AWS growth above 40% in 2027 and 2028, and Amazon projected potential AWS revenue of $1 trillion over the next 5 to 10 years.

- Gold, Silver In Spotlight After GLD Hits 52-Week Low, SLV Sinks To 11-Month Low – Peter Brandt Sees Signs Of A Potential Bottom
Gold and silver prices fell sharply on Friday as inflation concerns from higher energy prices and expectations of a possible interest-rate hike later this year weighed on precious metals. GLD hit a fresh 52-week low and SLV slumped to its lowest level in more than 11 months: spot gold fell 3% to $3,897.17 per ounce, while spot silver dropped over 6% to $49.08, below $50 for the first time since November 2025. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the odds of a December rate hike stand at 73%, even though the Federal Reserve held rates steady on Wednesday.

Retail sentiment on Stocktwits stayed bullish for GLD and turned extremely bullish for SLV.
- Apple (AAPL) Fined In South Korea Over Unfair App Store Practices
South Korea's antitrust regulator fined Apple over alleged unfair App Store practices affecting local developers. The ruling requires Apple to revise contract terms with Korean app makers, including allowing external payment links in apps. Authorities also ordered improvements to Apple's app review procedures, focusing on transparency and the treatment of third-party developers. According to the article, the fine is small relative to a business with revenue in the hundreds of billions of dollars, with a potentially larger impact from changes to commissions charged to local developers over time. The key near-term question is whether similar contract and payment changes spread to other regions or remain limited to South Korea.
