Vietnam's General Secretary and State President To Lam asked European businesses to join as partners in designing, investing in, managing risks for and transferring technology to infrastructure, logistics and clean energy projects, in addition to supplying equipment or acting as contractors. This was one of three cooperation directions he raised at a high-level forum with European and Belgian business leaders during an official visit to the EU and Belgium; the other two cover high-tech industries, digital transformation, and upgrading trade into high-standard value chains. Vietnam pledged to maintain a stable, transparent business environment, to make use of the EVFTA more effectively and to push for completing ratification of the EVIPA. European Commission Executive Vice-President Roxana Mînzatu said the combination of Vietnam's development goals and EU research capacity opens cooperation opportunities in clean energy, semiconductors, AI and health. Six cooperation agreements were exchanged, including a study and investment proposal for an eco-high-tech industrial park at Hạ Bằng Industrial Park in Hanoi, involving the Hanoi People's Committee, Aquitara Fund and 512 Finance Compan

- JPMorgan eyes $2 trillion as Europe ETF demand builds
J.P. Morgan Asset Management holds about 42% of Europe's active ETF market as of the end of the second quarter of 2026, according to Morningstar, and plans to grow its active ETF business past $100 billion over five years as part of a push to double its European assets under management to $2 trillion. European active ETFs drew $34.82 billion in net inflows in the first eight months of 2026, up 64.2% from a year earlier, and Travis Spence expects the segment to reach roughly $400 billion by 2030.

Active ETFs in the U.S. drew $403.21 billion in net inflows in the first half of 2026, nearly double the prior year.

- Surprise rebound in remittances to Ho Chi Minh City
Remittances sent to Ho Chi Minh City in the third quarter reached nearly $2.84 billion, up 39.5% from the previous quarter and 3.6% year on year, signaling a recovery after two weak quarters. However, the nine-month total of nearly $6.87 billion still fell 13.8%, though the decline narrowed from 22.8% in the first half. Asia remained the largest source at $1.677 billion, or 59.1%, with the rebound driven mainly by the strengthening South Korean won and seasonal demand. The report said rising inflation and living costs in major economies, along with high USD interest rates that lead some overseas Vietnamese to keep savings abroad, weighed on transfers. If fourth-quarter inflows reach $2.6–2.9 billion, full-year remittances could be $9.5–9.8 billion, down 5.1–8% from $10.3 billion in 2025.
- Nearly USD 6.9 billion in remittances flow to Ho Chi Minh City in 9 months
Remittances to Ho Chi Minh City reached over USD 6.87 billion in the first 9 months, down 14% year on year. The third quarter brought in over USD 2.8 billion, up more than USD 800 million from the previous quarter after two quarters of declines of 17% and 28%. Asia accounted for 59% (nearly USD 1.68 billion) and the Americas for 26% (USD 749 million), while 78% of funds were transferred through economic organizations. The State Bank of Vietnam's Regional Branch 2 credits the rebound mainly to Asia, including the South Korean won's gain against the USD and year-end demand, but forecasts full-year inflows of USD 9.5-9.8 billion, below last year's USD 10.3 billion, citing slow global growth, a strong USD and tighter immigration policies in some countries.

- Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know
Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.
- CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?
Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.
- Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates
ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.
- Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election
Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.
- Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'
Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.
- Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues
Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter.

Meanwhile, the tokenized stock market has grown sharply, with distributed value reaching $3.58 billion, but 16 companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have objected to their shares being traded on OKXICE’s proposed platform, and liquidity remains fragmented.
