- Stocks 'in the red' at start of week, VN-Index loses over 14 points

- Vietstock Daily 13/10/2026: Pressure Not Over Yet?
On 12 October, the VN-Index fell 0.81% to 1,720.98 points, its fourth straight session of decline, while the HNX-Index rose 1.18% to 264.69 points. Selling pressure concentrated in large caps: VIC and VHM pulled the VN-Index down 10.36 and 3.53 points, while HPG and VPB added over 2 points each. Trading volume on HOSE fell 37%, and foreign investors were net sellers of about VND 584 billion on HOSE and VND 36 billion on HNX. The article says the VN-Index is nearing the Lower Band of its Bollinger Bands, and a break below the August 2026 low, around 1,715–1,750 points, would raise risk. The HNX-Index is recovering, though its volume has dipped below its 20-session average.

- Could the ECB need to raise interest rates more than markets expect?
On 2 November, Slovak central bank governor Peter Kazimir, a member of the ECB Governing Council, warned that the ECB will need to keep raising rates to curb persistent high inflation, and that markets may be underestimating the tightening required. Markets expect about 2-3 hikes over the next 12 months, which he said may not be enough. After the 29 October meeting, the ECB held its deposit rate at 2.50%, main refinancing rate at 2.65% and marginal lending rate at 2.90%.

- Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Says Wall Street Is 'Penalizing Hyperscalers' For Build-Out Costs, Ignoring Growth Potential
Pershing Square argues Wall Street is underestimating the long-term payoff from heavy AI infrastructure spending by large tech companies, focusing instead on rising build-out costs. In its third-quarter letter, the firm noted the S&P 500 rose just over 2% in Q3 while the typical constituent fell 4%, with more than 60% of companies ending lower. Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Alphabet delivered an average share gain of just 8% despite about 27% earnings growth. The four could spend a combined $740 billion in 2026, up from $140 billion in 2023, and analysts expect over $1 trillion in 2027. Pershing Square calls this spending offensive, arguing analysts are treating it as a cost rather than a driver of future revenue.
- Bank exchange rates slide
Banks have cut their USD buying and selling rates for eight straight days, lowering them by nearly 100 dong in total, to 25,560–25,970 dong, the lowest in about a year and a half. Some banks also lowered their selling rate to 25,940 dong, while the State Bank's central reference rate of 25,630 dong fell for a fourth consecutive session. On the free market, rates edged up to around 26,000–26,200 dong as year-end remittance inflows rose. Analysts cite a trade surplus, record FDI and strong GDP growth as support for the dong, but pressure remains as the USD is expected to strengthen in the final months of the year on high oil prices and expectations the Fed will keep rates high. UOB forecasts the year-end rate at 26,300 dong, while MB Securities projects 26,800–27,000 dong.
- Defying US blockade, 9 Iranian oil and gas tankers enter Southeast Asian waters before heading straight to neighboring Vietnam
Fox News, citing the advocacy group UANI, reported that at least 9 Iranian oil or LPG tankers have slipped past the US naval blockade reimposed in July 2026. One example is the tanker SOGL, which left Asaluyeh in late August 2026 carrying about 500,000 barrels of LPG, refuelled near Malaysia and delivered its cargo to Qinzhou in China. According to UANI, smaller tankers in the shadow fleet switch off tracking systems, sail under false flags or transfer oil between ships at sea to avoid detection. Fox News also reported that China is the destination for nearly all of Iran's oil and LPG exports, with Malaysian sea lanes playing a key role.
