  • One Force Injects VND 123,000 Billion to “Support” Vietnam’s Stock Market Since Start of Year

    As of November 4, domestic investors had net bought over VND 123,000 billion on HoSE since early 2026, excluding IPOs, rights offerings and private placements. The figure is nearly equal to the record net buying for all of 2025. With foreign investors continuing to net sell and foreign ownership at a record low of about 11%, domestic cash flow is expected to keep driving the market. On November 4, the State Bank of Vietnam announced a USD/VND swap intervention of up to USD 2 billion with a 182-day tenor and a value date of November 9, 2026. Margin debt at end-Q3 was estimated at about VND 440,000 billion, up VND 5,000 billion in a quarter and an all-time high; growth slowed partly due to high interest rates, but this could change if rates fall.

  • Foreign investors’ net selling since Vietnam’s market upgrade raises alarm

    Since FTSE Russell upgraded Vietnam to secondary emerging market status on September 21, foreign investors have net sold nearly VND 30,000 billion on HoSE over about a month and a half, with only 3 of 32 trading sessions seeing no net selling, and year-to-date net selling reached nearly VND 121,000 billion as of November 3. The VN-Index has dropped more than 116 points (over 6%) since the upgrade, while average HoSE trading value has fallen to about VND 13,000 billion per session, one-third of a year earlier, as domestic cash flow stays thin amid high interest rates. The article remains optimistic on long-term prospects, citing stable macroeconomics, rising corporate earnings and a P/E near 12, and says foreign inflows could reverse soon.

  • Paradox at Apple: Encouraging employees to use AI, but cutting spending limits from US$300 to US$100 per day

    According to insiders, Apple quietly cut daily AI spending caps for some engineers from US$300 to US$200 last month and is considering a further cut to US$100 for some technical teams, while non-engineering groups with a US$100 cap could drop to US$25. Employees needing heavier AI use can request exceptions, but these must be approved by senior leaders. Meanwhile, Apple's R&D spending rose 32% in fiscal 2026, mainly due to infrastructure and AI, and total operating expenses grew 22% to US$75.5 billion, or 16% of net revenue. The article notes that Microsoft, Tesla, Uber and Meta have also tightened AI budgets, and argues Apple's challenge is to ensure its AI investment delivers returns commensurate with its cost.

  • Piero Cipollone: Shaping the future of money

    In a keynote at a conference in Tirana on 5 November 2026, Piero Cipollone, Member of the ECB Executive Board, argued that central banks must ensure the money they issue remains fit for the future by providing a trusted public foundation on which private innovation can flourish. The Eurosystem has adopted a comprehensive payments strategy with four objectives, and Western Balkan countries are integrating payments, with Albania already joining the Single Euro Payments Area and a clone of the TIPS fast payment system operational in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. He outlined four initiatives: modernising euro banknotes, developing a digital euro, settling tokenised asset transactions in central bank money, and interlinking fast payment systems. He stressed that cash remains the most resilient form of payment, with more than 31 billion euro banknotes worth over €1.6 trillion in circulation, and next-generation banknotes will feature enhanced security and a smaller environmental impact.

  • Should Investors Buy Into the Chipotle Turnaround?

    Chipotle recorded its third straight quarter of comparable-store sales growth, and its shares rose nearly 9% on Oct. 29, though they remain down more than 15% year to date. Revenue rose nearly 10% to US$3.29 billion, while adjusted EPS fell 7% to US$0.27, broadly in line with analysts' expectation of US$0.29 according to LSEG. Restaurant-level operating margin fell 120 basis points to 23.3% amid wage inflation, higher labor usage and rising prices. The company expects fourth-quarter comparable-store sales growth of 2% or more, plans a 3% price increase in Q4, and intends to add 350 to 370 new restaurants in 2026. The author says margins have not yet stabilized, views the stock as appropriately valued at 23 times 2027 forward P/E estimates, and says he would prefer not to chase the recent rally.

  • 3 Consumer And Travel Stocks To Watch As Oil Falls And The Dollar Softens

    The article argues that a political surprise, cheaper oil and a softer US dollar are reshaping the backdrop for global consumer and travel stocks, and highlights three stocks from a high foreign revenue screener. Amer Sports reports revenue of about US$3.2b from Technical Apparel, US$2.8b from Outdoor Performance and US$1.4b from Ball & Racquet Sports, with a market value near US$17.7b. Capri Holdings generates about US$2.8b from Michael Kors and US$632 million from Jimmy Choo, with a market value of roughly US$2.1b. Southwest Airlines generates about US$31.5b from transportation and related services, with a market value near US$21.3b; the article notes that fuel costs make lower oil prices and a weaker dollar especially relevant to its profitability. The screener also surfaced 22 more U.S.-listed companies in the same theme.
