Ho Chi Minh City urges businesses to announce 2027 Tết bonuses in November

The Ho Chi Minh City Federation of Labour asks grassroots unions to urge employers to publicly announce their Tết Đinh Mùi 2027 bonus plans by 30/11/2026, and to pay bonuses or partial advances from November or December 2026 where possible. Unions are also asked to monitor full and on-time wage payments, including overtime, night and holiday pay, and to request that January 2027 wages be paid early or advanced. Workers facing wage arrears, job losses, serious illness or workplace injuries will be reviewed to propose Tết support. Employers that pay wages late, have prolonged social insurance debts, or risk closure or bankruptcy must be reported immediately. Industrial park unions must submit a preliminary report by 3/12/2026 and a second-round report by 15/1/2027, and each must list 2 employers for supervision by 30/12/2026.

  • Man Who Spent 15 Years On Sick Leave Takes IBM To Court For Not Giving Him A Pay Raise

    Ian Clifford, a senior IT worker at IBM, went on sick leave in September 2008 and was diagnosed with stage-four leukemia in 2012. Under a 2013 agreement, he joined the company's disability plan and received about $67,000 a year, or 75% of his previous salary. Unhappy that his payments had not risen since 2013 and that inflation was eroding their value, he filed a claim in February 2022 alleging disability discrimination, which an employment tribunal dismissed in March 2023. The Employment Appeal Tribunal also dismissed his appeal on June 10, 2024, finding that the 2013 agreement barred the claims, and Clifford said the legal battle had cost him more than £30,000 ($37,350).

  • Median monthly pay increases by 4 . 4 %

    The ONS reports that median monthly pay rose 4.4% to £2,660 in September 2026 compared with September 2025.

The ONS also said vacancies had their largest fall of the year, mainly at smaller businesses citing higher labour costs.

  • Minister of Home Affairs provides details on new salary policy

    According to Minister of Home Affairs Nguyễn Tiến Hải, the government has issued decrees adjusting salaries, pensions and allowances under Politburo Conclusion No. 206, benefiting over 5.8 million people, with an additional 48.5 trillion VND in resources allocated for the last six months of 2026. Raising the base salary from 2.34 million to 2.53 million VND per month would require about 35,000 billion VND in the same period, while nearly 3.5 million pensioners and social insurance recipients would need about 10,773 billion VND. The allowance for commune-level civil servants will rise from 25% to 55%, covering about 163,000 people at a cost of roughly 2,800 billion VND. The Ministry of Home Affairs is working with the Central Organizing Committee on an overall salary scheme. Delegate Nguyễn Thị Yến Nhi proposed allowances for commune-level public-sector employees, who currently do not receive the public service allowance that commune civil servants get; the Ministry is studying the issue to report to the government.

  • Politburo: Reform pay and benefits by job position, overcome across-the-board equalization, prioritize rank and grade

    The Politburo's conclusion, issued by Permanent Member of the Party Secretariat Trần Cẩm Tú, calls for improving the system of job positions within the political system, linked to building cadre teams and managing staffing quotas. It requires gradually renewing evaluation mechanisms and pay and benefit policies based on job position, capacity and results, overcoming equal or across-the-board treatment and the tendency to favor rank, grade and seniority over work performance. Job positions must be defined by each agency's functions, tasks and outputs, not by current headcount, grades or quotas. The conclusion also bars mechanical application of staffing norms or average downsizing rates and calls for clearly delineated responsibilities among agencies to avoid overlap.

  • Microsoft Corp.’s (MSFT) AI Advantage: Scale, Trust, and Economic Value

    Aoris Investment Management reported that Class A of its International Fund returned 3.6% in Q3 2026 (+2.4% alpha) and Class C returned 4.5% (+3.1% alpha), targeting 8–12% annual net returns over a 5–7 year market cycle. Microsoft (MSFT) was a leading contributor, with its shares up 37% over three months and adding 2.4% to the fund's return. Aoris said that for most of the past two years investors focused on AI model capability, which left Microsoft's AI offerings looking pedestrian by comparison. MSFT closed at $521.91 on October 30, 2026, with a market capitalization of $3.88 trillion. At the end of Q2, 273 hedge fund portfolios held the stock, down from 282 the previous quarter.

  • Gold Prices Surge on the Evening of November 2

    Spot gold rose 2.3% to $3,963.80 per ounce on the evening of November 2, according to Kitco data, rebounding after a 3.6% drop on Friday to its lowest level since October 2025. Oil fell more than 6% as Iran and Qatar entered a third consecutive day of talks aimed at ending the conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran, easing inflation concerns and expectations of prolonged high US interest rates, while a weaker US dollar also supported gold. CME FedWatch put the odds of a Fed rate hike in December at 76.6%, down from 80% a week earlier. Gold's 14-day RSI rose to about 37 from below 30, which the article says means gold has moved out of technically oversold territory. Julius Baer analyst Carsten Menke said the outcome of the US midterm elections on November 3 is unlikely to significantly change the US fiscal outlook in a way that strongly affects gold prices.

  • JPMorgan has some explosive capex estimates for Amazon — and investors are uncomfortable

    According to the article, Amazon's leadership said capex next year will be meaningfully higher than this year, when the company is slated to spend about $220 billion on AI infrastructure. JPMorgan, through analyst Doug Anmuth, estimates Amazon's capex will rise 77% year over year to $395 billion next year and reach $476 billion in 2028.

  • If the Fed Raises Interest Rates Again in 2026, I Predict These ETFs Will Be the Smartest Buys

    The Federal Reserve chose not to raise the fed funds rate this past Wednesday, but CME's FedWatch tool still shows an 85% chance of a rate increase in December, with a couple more likely in the first half of 2027, as inflation remains robust. The article cites Hartford data showing that in years when inflation exceeds 3%, energy outperformed inflation 74% of the time, with an average 13% gain. The author is skeptical that this will hold this time, noting that renters (corporate and consumer) are struggling and crude oil has held at $100 per barrel since March, leaving VNQ and XLE already fully valued. The article points to XLB, EQRR and SPHQ as candidates, and notes that the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) has underperformed since early this year despite persistent inflation.
