- Billions of USD unexpectedly leave US stocks, expert warns of one thing for Vietnamese stocks
Global equity funds drew net inflows for a sixth straight week, totaling over $10 billion, though the pace slowed sharply from $25 billion the previous week. Flows diverged, with US equity funds seeing $6.65 billion in outflows, while Asian equity funds attracted nearly $10 billion and emerging-market funds added $2.2 billion. ABS analyst Nguyễn Thế Minh said this shift is a favorable signal for Vietnam's stock market, though its ability to capture the inflows depends on foreign trading activity, market attractiveness and corporate earnings outlook. On seasonality, the VN-Index has averaged a 2% gain in November over 2000–2025, with a 54% chance of rising, but the expert said this should serve only as a reference. The article stresses that a sustainable recovery requires improved cash flow and corporate earnings, amid high valuations and signs of a slowing US economy.
- Foreign investors dump nearly $1 billion of Vietnamese stocks in October in 20 straight net-selling sessions
Foreign investors net sold more than VND 24,000 billion (nearly US$1 billion) on HoSE in October 2026, nearly five times September's VND 4,844 billion and the heaviest monthly net selling in 13 months. Over 22 sessions, they were net sellers on 20 days, extending a run of 20 straight net-selling sessions from September 23 to October 20. Selling pressure centred on Masan Consumer (MCH), with about VND 9,602 billion net sold, mainly from a negotiated transfer of more than 64.2 million shares on October 9; excluding MCH, net selling was still about VND 14,400 billion. Year to date through October, foreign investors had net sold nearly VND 122,000 billion on HoSE, close to the record VND 125,000 billion set in all of 2025. The article attributes the trend to global capital favouring markets with more attractive earnings growth stories, high international bond yields and fund rebalancing, as well as a mismatch between passive funds buying ahead of an upgrade and active funds realising gains.

- Trump is going to get 'trounced' in the midterms — and knows it, Anthony Scaramucci tells CNBC
Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci told CNBC that President Donald Trump will get 'trounced' in Tuesday's midterm elections and knows it. CNBC's All-America Economic Survey showed Trump's economic approval hit an all-time low last month, with 65% of respondents disapproving of his handling of the economy. Scaramucci said Trump has not delivered on promises of affordability, an end to 'forever wars' and transparency on the Epstein files, which he argued is pushing some within MAGA to break from him. Prediction markets price roughly a three-in-four chance that Democrats win Senate control, and Scaramucci expects a 'civil war' within the Republican Party. On Iran, he was 'bearish' about a diplomatic breakthrough after the vote, citing no alignment between Iran, Israel and the United States.
- German yields hover near August lows on tech rout
The German 10-year Bund yield was at 3.29%, its lowest level since August, as investors moved into core sovereign debt amid a global tech stock selloff and caution ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. The two-year Bund yield stood at 3.03%. The pressure followed Apple's warning that rising memory chip prices would squeeze margins through the holiday quarter. According to Reuters, major U.S. tech firms such as Alphabet and Oracle are increasingly tapping European investors to fund AI infrastructure, with Alphabet launching its second euro bond sale of the year and Oracle planning to raise $20 billion through bonds and shares. Strategists warn the surge in supply could crowd out European issuers and push borrowing costs higher.
- A Door Opens Slightly for US-Iran Peace Amid Blasts in the Strait of Hormuz
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the Supreme Leader has given his government additional authority to pursue peace talks, without clarifying the scope of that power. U.S. President Donald Trump also hinted at progress in negotiations, and investors read the remarks as a sign a new round of conflict between Tehran and Washington could be averted through diplomacy. However, indirect contacts with the U.S., mediated by Qatar, to end the eight-month war have yet to produce a breakthrough. Iran said its seven-step plan, which Trump rejected in September, has been streamlined so it can be implemented within two days, though its core position is unchanged and nuclear talks will only follow once conditions are met. China also urged all parties to prioritize political solutions over force.
- Apple, Palantir report; U.S. midterm elections ahead - what’s moving markets
U.S. stock futures were subdued after the Apple and Palantir reports, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.07% in the prior session on worries over AI infrastructure spending. Apple's fiscal fourth-quarter EPS rose 14% to $2.10 on sales of $114.5 billion, but its gross margin guidance of 45% to 46% fell short of the 47% expected, and its shares dipped after hours. Palantir's sales surged 96% to $2.31 billion, but total contract value growth slowed to 6% from 49% in the second quarter, which weighed on its shares. Investors are also watching the U.S. midterm elections, where AI and affordability are key issues, and oil prices, which edged higher after a sharp drop following a reported U.S. strike on Iran's Qeshm Island.
- Fed Chair Kevin Warsh Just Drove a Dagger Through Wall Street's AI-Driven Rally With 6 Blunt Words
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said interest rates affect almost everything, AI stocks included, after the Fed held rates steady on Oct. 28 amid inflation above its 2% target for 67 consecutive months. According to the CME Group's FedWatch Tool, markets put a 72% chance on a 25-basis-point hike in December. Large cloud providers are partly financing their AI data center build-outs with debt, so higher borrowing costs could slow expansion and force a re-rating of what the article calls the second-priciest stock market in history. With U.S. debt at $40.1 trillion, each percentage point in average borrowing costs equals roughly $401 billion in annual interest, and the article warns that rising long-term Treasury yields could pose a major risk to AI stocks.
- Apple and Palantir shares slide in premarket trading following post-bell earnings
Shares of Apple and Palantir fell in premarket trading on Tuesday after both companies reported earnings after the close on Monday. Apple dropped 4.4% and Palantir lost 5.9%. Apple posted fourth-quarter revenue above expectations, but iPad sales fell short of estimates and its margin forecast disappointed investors. Palantir beat Wall Street’s third-quarter estimates, and its U.S. commercial revenue topped government revenue for the first time.
