JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) says a rapid rise in interest rates is a broader risk to the financial system, because some institutions may be unable to adjust their balance sheets quickly, which could weaken confidence and intensify competition for funding. Charles Bristow, the bank's head of treasury and chief investment officer, said the bank has stress-tested its balance sheet against higher rates and that the market was pricing just over two rate hikes through 2027. Medium-term rate forwards have risen to around 5% from 3% about four years ago, and JPMorgan has generally avoided longer-dated investments. Bristow also said liquidity is a binding constraint across the banking system and that the sustainable dividend remains the bank's primary capital-return commitment.

- 6-month currency swap: Supporting liquidity, easing interest rate pressure
Mr. Nguyễn Thế Minh, Director of Investment Banking at ABS Securities, views the State Bank of Vietnam's 6-month foreign currency–VND swap operation as a suitable measure to support VND funding for credit institutions as interbank rates have trended upward. Exchange rate pressure has eased significantly compared with last year, creating favorable conditions for the operation. The relatively favorable swap cost could help banks balance liquidity and ease short-term interest rate pressure, while household deposits have recently risen. However, the maximum size of USD 2 billion and the 6-month tenor mainly address temporary liquidity needs and do not solve long-term funding issues.
- Breaking: State Bank of Vietnam plans long-term liquidity injection for banks
The State Bank of Vietnam plans to inject nearly 48,800 billion dong into the banking system through a 182-day USD/VND swap, with a maximum size of 2 billion USD and a value date of November 9, 2026. Credit institutions sell USD to the SBV to receive VND and commit to repurchase at maturity, at a spot buying rate of 24,399 dong per USD and a forward selling rate of 24,704 dong per USD. This tenor is much longer than the 21-day, 14-day and 7-day swaps conducted in 2026, while the 2 billion USD limit remains unchanged. This time, participation conditions are more specific, applying only to institutions with medium- and long-term foreign loans or international bonds outstanding with remaining maturities of 12 months or more. The move comes alongside a request to cut deposit and lending rates and may help banks be more proactive in managing their VND funding.
- Breaking: State Bank of Vietnam wants to inject longer-term liquidity into the banking system via FX swap channel
The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) plans to supply nearly 48,800 billion VND to the banking system through a 182-day USD/VND swap, capped at 2 billion USD. For the Nov. 6 intervention, the spot buying rate is set at 24,399 VND/USD and the forward selling rate at 24,704 VND/USD, with a value date of Nov. 9, 2026. Credit institutions sell USD to the SBV for VND and commit to buy back the currency at maturity, and only those with medium- and long-term foreign loans or international bonds with at least 12 months remaining are eligible. The tenor is much longer than the 7-day swap in September, which helps banks plan VND funding more proactively into year-end and early next year. The move is part of broader SBV measures to support liquidity and lower funding costs, including its earlier request that banks cut deposit and lending rates.
- Bank deposits hit a record high, mainly from individuals
Customer deposits at credit institutions reached about VND 17.77 quadrillion at end-August, up nearly VND 1.26 quadrillion from end-2025 and 11% year on year. Resident deposits reached about VND 11.43 quadrillion, the highest level on record, lifting their share of total deposits to about 64.34%, while corporate deposits stood at about VND 6.34 quadrillion. SSI Research attributes the growth to higher savings rates, with some private banks offering 7-9% a year on certain terms, faster public investment disbursement, and less attractive alternatives such as real estate, gold, foreign currency and digital assets. The firm says liquidity pressure should be watched in the fourth quarter, when year-end credit demand typically rises.
- Rate Hikes Could Be Coming: History Likes These 4 Bank Stocks
The Federal Reserve is gearing up to raise rates again, and Wall Street's four biggest banks are not equally positioned to benefit; history shows at least one of them lost ground in past tightening cycles. The Fed raised rates in September for the first time in 3 years, leaving the upper bound of the federal funds target range at 4.00%, and Kalshi traders put a 72% market-implied probability on another 25-basis-point hike at the December 9 meeting. Rising rates typically widen banks' net interest margins, but only JPMorgan rose in all three past hiking cycles; it trades at 13x forward earnings, the highest multiple in the group, with loan losses as its main risk. Bank of America estimates a 100-basis-point rise would add approximately $1.40 billion to net interest income over 12 months, but its main risk is unrealized bond losses, and the stock slid 24.8% in the last cycle. Citigroup has the cheapest multiple at 9x forward earnings but the weakest track record.
- JPMorgan Raises NII Outlook: Is JPM Stock Too Expensive?
JPMorgan raised its full-year 2026 total net interest income (NII) projection to about $106.2 billion from $105.5 billion, and gave a preliminary central-case 2027 NII excluding Markets of about $107 billion, roughly 10% above the implied 2026 level. Third-quarter NII rose 13% year over year to $27.1 billion, supported by 10% average loan growth to $1.6 trillion and 8% deposit growth to $2.7 trillion. Bank of America and Citigroup also lifted their NII outlooks. Investment banking fees rose 33% and Markets revenue rose 23% so far this year, but the article flags rising operating expenses, credit risks and a premium valuation as concerns.

- Apple cuts employee AI budgets as new CEO looks to rein in costs
Apple is reducing internal budgets for employees using external AI services as new CEO John Ternus seeks to control spending, according to a Bloomberg report citing people familiar with the matter. The company has cut daily token-based spending limits for some teams to as little as $25, with the changes meant to push employees toward cheaper AI models, though some teams may qualify for exemptions. The move comes as Ternus faces rising costs, including higher memory prices that could weigh on margins ahead of the holiday shopping season. Meta Platforms and Uber have also introduced limits on employee AI tool use, and some Apple staff reportedly worry about restructuring after the company hired outside consultants. Neither Apple nor Ternus has publicly commented on the reported limits.
- Reason revealed why billionaire Trần Đình Long's son did not buy all the HPG shares he registered
Trần Vũ Minh, son of Hòa Phát chairman Trần Đình Long, bought 10 million HPG shares out of 50 million registered between October 7 and October 28, 2026, completing 20% of the plan. In his report to regulators, he cited unfavorable market developments as the reason the trades were not completed. It is not the first time: his March–April 2026 registration of 50 million shares ended with 33,291,904 shares bought (about 66.6%), so across 2026 he has bought 43.29 million of 100 million registered (43.3%). His holding rose from 230.65 million to 240.65 million shares, or 2.85% of charter capital.
