- Shares of Apple and Xiaomi distributor hit floor price right after reporting doubled profit
Shares of Digiworld (DGW), a distributor of Apple, Xiaomi and other tech brands, reversed from gains to hit the floor price after the company reported strong third-quarter results. Nine-month revenue rose 44% to over 26,800 billion VND and after-tax profit rose 102% to 785 billion VND; Q3 phone sales topped 2,800 billion VND, helped by new Xiaomi and Apple models including iPhone 18 Pro. Yet the stock fell to 42,350 VND in the last 30 minutes with no buyers left, after a steady rise beforehand, and the article suggests profit-taking near elevated price levels may be behind the drop. VIX Securities had rated the stock 'positive' with a target price of 58,346 VND, nearly 38% above the current price. DGW was among the 10 stocks with the most negative impact on the VN-Index, which still edged up to 1,766 points on large-cap gains.
- Finance Minister: Regulators Continue Working with MSCI to Keep Assessing and Ranking the Market
On the morning of October 28 at the National Assembly, Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn responded to delegates' comments on the draft amendments to the Securities Law, after 32 comments in group discussions and 10 speeches in the plenary session. He said FTSE Russell has upgraded Vietnam's stock market from frontier to secondary emerging status, and regulators are continuing to work with MSCI on further assessment and ranking, which he said would attract international funds thanks to greater transparency. The minister stressed that the stock market is a key medium- and long-term capital channel, aiming to mobilize capital of about 40% of GDP to support double-digit growth, and that protecting investors' legitimate rights is the law's most important goal. On staffing, he noted that between 2000 and 2012, more than 180 of the over 300 Securities Commission staff moved to securities firms, underscoring the need for reasonable pay policies.
- Adding Electronic Transaction Rules to the Securities Law
Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn presented the draft amended Securities Law to the National Assembly on October 17, proposing to amend 44 articles, add one and keep 91 unchanged. The draft adds rules ensuring the safety of electronic transactions in securities and allows securities companies to enter contracts with clients in forms permitted under e-transaction law. It also cuts administrative procedures and removes some licensing conditions for custody banks, settlement banks and fund management companies. The Economic and Financial Committee, chaired by Phan Văn Mãi, broadly supports the draft but asks that deregulation be tied to supervisory tools, that controlled pilot testing have clear rules, and that AI and algorithmic trading be overseen.

- How Anthropic's IPO structure could become the AI blueprint
Alex Morris, CEO and CIO of F/m Investments, discussed with Yahoo Finance's Brooke DiPalma what Anthropic's IPO could mean for the broader AI landscape. He said the company's revenue is not where a multi-trillion-dollar company would be expected, but it is selling a promise of the future, and its filing discusses potential existential risks to humanity. Wall Street will focus on the new governance structure, in which seven people would have power to largely control and appoint the board of trustees, a setup he called novel despite Google's different voting rights. He also flagged financing risk, more for Nvidia than Meta, as Meta announced a $100 billion share sale to fund AI. He said Anthropic is very likely to be substantially oversubscribed.
- US warns of possible military action against Iran after Nov. 3
According to the Wall Street Journal, the US has told some Gulf Arab states to prepare for a short, intense military campaign after the midterm elections, and the Pentagon is evacuating US personnel from Middle East bases where they could be at risk. President Donald Trump has not made a final decision but is leaning toward a large-scale strike that could target Iran's infrastructure and nuclear facilities. Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei called for meeting Iran's conditions to end the war and the state of “no war, no peace,” and discussed with Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei maintaining control of the Strait of Hormuz. The US and Israel attacked Iran from Feb. 28; after a June ceasefire memorandum, the US resumed large-scale strikes on the night of July 8, accusing Tehran of violating the Hormuz terms. The strait carries about 25% of global oil and about 20% of global LNG.

- Dissent and more: 3 things to watch for at the Fed meeting
The Fed will announce its rate decision at 2 p.m. ET, with Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference half an hour later. The FOMC is expected to hold the benchmark rate at 3.75%–4%; if three or more voting members favored a hike, it would signal growing urgency to tighten, potentially bolstering the Dollar Index and weighing on bitcoin. The 10-year Treasury yield has fallen to 5%, down 36 basis points since Oct. 7, easing financial conditions. Consumer price inflation has exceeded expectations for two straight months, oil remains near $100, and U.S. diesel prices are at record highs, so Warsh's comments on inflation will be closely watched. Bitcoin was trading at $81,411, up more than 2% over 24 hours, ahead of the meeting.
- XRP Ledger developers propose creating wallets with zero XRP for stablecoin payments
XRP Ledger developers are testing a SponsoredAccountCreate transaction, submitted Oct. 15, that lets an existing account create a new account and cover its reserve, so new wallets can hold zero XRP. Each account currently must lock a minimum of 1 XRP, so a company creating 100,000 accounts would need 100,000 XRP; under the proposal, the sponsor would pay this reserve without controlling users' private keys and could also cover transaction fees. The change would support Ripple's embedded wallets built with Stripe-owned Privy for XRP and RLUSD payments, including AI-agent payments, which currently need XRP funding to become active. The code remains under review with two unresolved automated findings and depends on a sponsorship amendment that had secured 11 of the 29 validator votes required as of Oct. 19.
- 'We'll be out of business': Jensen Huang bet his last dollars on a chip he never held in his hands — and it saved Nvidia
In 1997, with about six months of cash left, Nvidia ordered mass production of the RIVA 128 graphics chip, which had never existed physically and had been tested only in an emulator. To get that tool, the company bought the inventory of a struggling emulator seller with about half of its remaining cash, and it laid off more than half its staff, cutting headcount from about 100 to 40, while receiving a $5 million investment from Sega. The chip shipped in August 1997 supporting only eight of Microsoft DirectX's 32 blend modes, and sold roughly a million units in its first four months, paving the way for the 1999 IPO. Nvidia was worth about $1.1 trillion when the Acquired podcast was recorded in 2023 and is now around $5.3 trillion. The stock has risen about 880% over five years, versus about 70% for the S&P 500, but shares slipped slightly after an 85% year-over-year revenue jump in its fiscal first-quarter 2027 earnings.
