Ho Chi Minh City rose 17 places to 67th of 117 cities in the 40th Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI 40), released September 30 with a score of 692, the second-fastest climb after Copenhagen. Gains came from financial sector progress, including FTSE Russell's upgrade of Vietnam's stock market, a 12-place rise in fintech to 71st, and improved reputation. The Ho Chi Minh City International Financial Center, launched seven months earlier, partnered with the London Stock Exchange to mobilize $325 million for education projects, though experts say the business environment still needs work. The index classifies the city as an 'International Contender' for connectivity, and as 'Emerging' for breadth and depth.

- Financial centre combined with free trade zone gives Ho Chi Minh City an edge in attracting capital
Niraj Vedwa, a board member of XacBank (Mongolia), told a forum at VIS 2026 that combining the Vietnam International Financial Center (VIFC) with a free trade zone (FTZ) would give Ho Chi Minh City a distinctive edge in attracting capital, helping it shift from an “investment destination” to an “investment organizer.” He said capital from VIFC could finance infrastructure and supply chains in the FTZ, while trade and logistics activity there would create demand for financial, risk-hedging and forex services at VIFC. He recommended the city identify 3–4 target global investors or institutions and prioritize a pipeline of projects in infrastructure, logistics and seaports. Nguyen Duy Hieu of EY Law Vietnam said legal transparency and effective dispute resolution are the core competitive advantages of a financial center, while HCMC attracted USD 17.8 billion in FDI in the first nine months of the year, 4.2 times the same period in 2025.
- Bảo Tín Capital: Anticipating a New Growth Cycle and the “Đông Xuân Khoán” Pattern
Đinh Ngọc Dũng, Chairman and CEO of Bảo Tín Capital, said Vietnam's stock market is entering a new cycle of strong growth in both scale and quality. Market capitalisation rose from about 1% of GDP in 2000 to 82.6% of GDP in 2025, while Q3 2026 GDP is estimated to have grown 9.95%. Post-tax profits of 403 of 404 HOSE-listed companies reported for Q2 reached 217,020 billion VND, up 47.5% year on year, but the top five firms, VHM, VIC, VCB, CTG and VPB, accounted for 35% of total profits, so the gains remain concentrated. Bảo Tín Capital estimates passive inflows from the upgrade at about 1.5 billion USD, while the VN-Index P/E stands at 12.10 times, about 8% below its five-year average. Mr. Dũng said profit is the main driver of share prices, and the “Đông Xuân khoán” pattern has held in 16 of 16 seasons from 2010–2011 to 2025–2026, with an average gain of about 20.7%, though this is the maximum swing between trough and peak rather than realised return.
- Renewing IR for a New Era
The article argues that investor relations is shifting from communications toward strategy and involvement in decision-making, as capital markets become more volatile, AI advances and new trading models emerge. AI increasingly extracts key points from IR content before investors read it, so companies must make their disclosures clear to people and also friendly to automated analysis systems. The piece also flags risks from fake content and deepfakes, and says companies should keep disclosures transparent, engage investors regularly and prepare crisis communication procedures. In Vietnam, as the market is upgraded to emerging status, companies such as Gemadept, PAN and VietinBank are cited for building clear investment stories and actively engaging investors, with VietinBank holding quarterly investor conferences.
- Notable stocks at the open of the 20/10 session
Market liquidity fell sharply in the 12–16/10 trading week, with average trading value on HOSE and HNX dropping below 14 trillion VND. The VN-Index lost more than 29 points that week, with VIC and VHM the biggest drags. Securities stocks have fallen over 24% since the start of the year despite expected gains from a market upgrade. In the 19/10 session, ACB saw net selling of hundreds of billions by foreign and proprietary investors, while large money flows moved against the trend at FRT and CTG. Also, 21 of 22 tracked construction and building materials stocks have declined since early 2026, and HOSE moved PLP to restricted trading on 16/10.
- Big Changes Could Be Coming to Sea Limited Stock. Time to Buy?
Sea Limited (SE) shares have lost more than 17% since October 15 as the company considers opening its cloud infrastructure, Sea Cloud, to external customers and possibly spinning off its fintech arm, Monee. The author notes uncertainty over the cost of the cloud build-out and the spin-off, including how Monee would work with Sea and how shareholders would receive shares. In the first half of 2026, revenue reached $14.9 billion, up 47%, with Monee growing 58%, while net income of $869 million rose only 7% as the company invested more heavily in operations. Trading at a P/E of about 30, the author argues the sell-off may be overdone, since revenue growth remains rapid even without Monee.
- This All-Star Stock Just Plunged. It Could Be a Massive Buying Opportunity
Shares of Sea Limited (SE) have fallen 20% over the past two weeks and more than 40% this year, after a memo from CEO Forrest Li to employees was leaked to the Wall Street Journal. In it, Li outlined two strategic moves: possibly listing part of its fintech arm, Monee, to raise capital, and becoming an AI-oriented cloud computing company. Investors have worried about separating Monee, the fastest-growing segment with 58.9% revenue growth last quarter and adjusted EBITDA of $288 million, as well as competition and capital needs in AI cloud. The author argues these concerns may be overdone, pointing to a 'conglomerate discount' that a separate Monee listing could help close and to Sea's existing internal AI cloud built for its three businesses.

- Prediction: 2 Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than AMD 5 Years From Now
The article compares AMD with two AI companies, Cerebras Systems (CBRS) and Marvell Technology (MRVL). Cerebras makes an oversized chip designed to speed up AI computing; in Q2 2026, its core revenue more than doubled year over year, cloud revenue nearly quadrupled, and remaining performance obligations (RPO) reached $25.4 billion. Management expects core revenue to more than triple in 2027, after guiding for $880 million to $890 million this year. Marvell supplies custom chips and high-speed connectivity for AI data centers and targets $70 billion to $90 billion in revenue by fiscal 2031, up from $8.2 billion in fiscal 2026. Market caps are about $829 billion for AMD, $195 billion for Marvell and $26 billion for Cerebras; the article says Marvell has an established business, while Cerebras is higher-risk, with customer concentration among its risks.
- ‘Ticking time bomb’: The world's pension funds face an ageing crisis
Pension systems worldwide face a demographic crisis as people live longer and birth rates fall, straining their ability to fund future payouts. Sebastien Betermier of the International Centre for Pension Management calls the problem a “ticking time bomb,” noting that some members have been retired for nearly half a century. The 2026 Marsh CFA Institute Global Pension Index report found that 43 of 55 covered systems have fertility rates below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman, and 23 are below 1.5. The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund in the U.S. is projected to exhaust its reserves in Q4 2032, and according to a 2025 APRA report, about a third of Australian superannuation funds recorded negative natural cash flows over three years. Some funds are shifting toward riskier assets, including private equity and private credit, to meet their obligations.
- AI agents help rescue ETH’s Glamsterdam fork, ‘Steal My Bitcoin’ site: Hodler’s Digest
The second and final testnet for Ethereum’s Glamsterdam hard fork was cancelled after ChainSecurity found vulnerabilities in two gas-scaling proposals (EIP-8037/8038) that could have affected at least 13 DeFi contracts. Derek Chiang of Eth Labs said the flaw was found only a few minutes before midnight, forcing everyone to scramble, and the Hoodi dress rehearsal will not be rescheduled until the second-order effects are fully analysed. To speed up the review, researchers from Eth Labs and the Ethereum Foundation deployed AI agents that coordinated through a message board in a GitHub repo, and a second board now examines EIP-8198 (“Quick Slots”) for the proposed Hegota fork. Separately, the ‘Steal My Bitcoin’ site, which has not been patched against the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities, holds the key to a Bitcoin wallet worth around $2000 and had gone 25 hours without a successful hack at the time of writing.
- Which Crypto Could Be the Second to Reach a $1 Trillion Market Value?
Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency above $1 trillion in market value, at about $1.62 trillion. Ethereum, at about $2,335, needs a 3.5x increase to reach $1 trillion, the smallest multiple among its rivals, which need 10.3x for BNB, $15.79 for XRP and 16.8x for Solana. The article notes that supply growth complicates XRP and Solana, and that U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs had $12.7 billion in cumulative net inflows as of October 22, below a $14.0 billion peak, while spot XRP and Solana ETFs had $1.8 billion and $1.54 billion. It concludes Ethereum is the most viable candidate near term, but ETF inflows would first need to exceed the $14.0 billion peak, and the price would then need to surpass its $4,946 all-time high before reaching $8,186.
- Down 17%, Is Meta a Buy on the Dip?
Meta's stock has slipped 17% from a peak last month amid investor worries about heavy AI infrastructure spending and a possible AI bubble. The company's apps reach about 3.6 billion people daily, and its new Muse personal AI agent reached 5 million downloads faster than ChatGPT and Claude did after their launches. Meta's latest earnings beat revenue estimates, with double-digit growth in ad impressions and ad prices, but its full-year capex forecast was narrowed to $135 billion to $145 billion, which weighed on the shares. The article says the stock, at 21x forward earnings, looks reasonably priced and describes it as a growth stock that is attractive on the dip.
- Can Bitcoin Double in Value During the Next Crypto Bull Market?
Bitcoin is down 7% for the year at about $84,000, and analysts have been lowering their price targets. Citigroup's 12-month target of $113,000, issued in early October, implies a 35% gain but remains below the all-time high of $126,000 from October 2025 and far under the $200,000 target cited earlier this year. JPMorgan predicts 10% annualized growth over the next decade, well below the 37% compound annual growth rate from August 2017 to August 2026. At 10% a year for three years, Bitcoin would reach only $112,000, so it would not double or set a new record, and the article stresses that future growth, not past performance, is what matters.
