- Investors Sell Off Oil and Gas Stocks
Oil and gas stocks on the HCMC exchange were sold heavily and closed below reference prices, with PVT hitting its floor price of 21,300 dong on more than 21 million shares matched and GAS, BSR and PVD falling over 2%. Pressure was linked to Brent crude falling nearly 1% to $114 per barrel and investor concerns over major shareholder changes after the government said it will keep 100% ownership of Petrovietnam. HPG gained over 2% on strong Q3 results, while the VN-Index closed at 1,755 points, down more than 11 points, as foreign investors extended their selling streak to five sessions with net sales of over 450 billion dong. MB Securities said the short-term bottom around 1,700-1,720 points has been confirmed, but the index is likely to trade sideways between 1,760 and 1,780 points amid the Fed policy meeting and the Q3 earnings season.
- VN-Index Falls to Two-Month Low
VN-Index fell for four straight sessions on selling pressure in Vingroup-linked stocks, at one point dipping below 1,720 points to its lowest level since late July, before dip-buying pulled it back near that level. Four Vingroup stocks closed below the reference price, with VIC dragging the index down more than 10 points and VHM nearly 4 points. Oil and gas stocks were the weakest sector after oil prices fell following Trump's announcement that Russia and Ukraine agreed to halt attacks on each other's energy infrastructure; PLX and OIL each dropped about 3%, while steelmaker NKG closed up 6.9%. Foreign investors extended net selling to 14 consecutive sessions, and liquidity was about half of the previous week's final session. MB Securities' research team said October seasonality weighs on the market and advised investors to favor individual stocks with third-quarter profit growth from core operations.
- Brent Crude Plunges Nearly 9%
Brent crude fell 8.7% to 94.62 USD/barrel and US WTI dropped 8.3% to 88.12 USD/barrel on November 4, after Vice President JD Vance said the war with Iran was why Republicans lost the midterm elections. Andy Lipow of Lipow Oil Associates said the market now sees Trump as possibly willing to reach a deal, and Democrats could try to limit war spending. Trump told the Financial Times on November 3 that he had no plans to attack Iran for now. Oil futures have fallen more than 14% this week after senior US and Iranian officials signaled readiness to pursue diplomacy, though oil had risen more than 10% in October. Rebecca Babin of CIBC said the selloff may be overdone, while Bob McNally of Rapidan Energy warned that the risk of military escalation remains higher than other scenarios given Iran's hardline stance.
- Crude oil prices fall below $90 a barrel as Vance blames GOP election defeat on Iran war
Oil prices fell sharply after Vice President JD Vance blamed the Iran war for Republican midterm losses: West Texas Intermediate dropped 8.3% to $88.12 a barrel and Brent 8.7% to $94.62. Democrats' congressional wins may give them leverage to push Trump to end the unpopular war, which has driven up fuel prices, and to restrict its funding. Andy Lipow of Lipow Oil Associates said markets now conclude Trump might be inclined to make a deal, though CIBC's Rebecca Babin said the sell-off could be overdone. Bob McNally of Rapidan Energy warned that military escalation remains likely because Iran is hardened in its position. Oil futures have fallen more than 14% this week as U.S. and Iranian officials signaled openness to a diplomatic settlement of a conflict that has disrupted energy supplies for eight months.
- Americans have said 'NO TO WAR,' Iran speaker says as Democrats take Congress
Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on X that Americans had said "NO TO WAR" as midterm projections showed Democrats winning majorities in both the House and Senate for the next two years, warning that a government ignoring public will would learn Iran's "NO" comes with a nightmare. The Iran war, which began when Trump launched joint strikes with Israel in February, has been a central midterm issue, pushing up U.S. energy prices and raising cost-of-living concerns. Trump told the Wall Street Journal that Iran "was a piece of it" in the Republican losses but maintained that prosecuting the war was the right decision. Per The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, Washington is reportedly preparing for possible renewed military action after the midterms, and Democrats may be able to pass a binding War Powers Resolution, whereas a June concurrent resolution was non-binding and lacks the force of law.
- Oil Prices Extend Losses, WTI Falls to $96 a Barrel
Oil prices fell for a second straight session on November 3 as markets anticipated a diplomatic deal between the US and Iran to end a conflict that has disrupted global energy supplies for eight months. WTI settled down 37 cents at $96.09 per barrel after dipping below $95 at one point, while Brent lost $1.17 to $103.60. President Donald Trump said Tehran wants a deal, and Qatar said it continues to mediate, but Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said Tehran will not accept negotiations based on coercion. US officials told The Wall Street Journal that Washington has carried out limited airstrikes on Iran in recent weeks, and at least 4 attacks on commercial vessels have been recorded since the start of the month. The actual stage of the talks remains unclear.

- History Says This Is the Best Time of the Presidential Cycle To Invest. Could Wednesday's Rally Spark an Epic Bull Market?
U.S. stocks surged on Wednesday after Democrats' sweeping win in the midterm elections, with the Dow Jones up 3.2%, the S&P 500 up 1.8% and the Nasdaq Composite up 1.4%. The article notes that since 1980 the S&P 500 has averaged a 13.7% gain in the third year of a presidential term, with positive returns 78%-91% of the time depending on the period cited. From the week before the midterms to the end of the following year, about 14 months, the S&P 500 has risen in each of the last 19 cycles, with an average gain of 20.3%. Other factors cited include a divided government and reduced election uncertainty. The author stresses these are only historical averages that cannot protect against black swan events or structural challenges, while nine of 11 sectors rose on Wednesday.
- SpaceX Just Picked Qualcomm for Its Own 5G Network. I Still See the Stock as a Hold.
Qualcomm said SpaceX chose its Dragonwing platforms for Starlink Mobile's nationwide ground-based 5G network, with rollout starting in 2027 and tens of thousands of sites over a multiyear deal; financial terms were not disclosed. SpaceX shares fell about 3% to near USD 136, almost a third below their record close of USD 201.80. SpaceX has agreed to pay about USD 19.6 billion for EchoStar spectrum licenses and bought a nationwide 800 MHz portfolio, though carrier service is not expected to start until early 2028. In the third quarter, the enterprise and government line that includes Starlink Mobile rose 91% to USD 2.1 billion, while connectivity operating income nearly doubled to USD 2.4 billion. The author notes the USD 1.85 trillion valuation already assumes years of fast growth, so the deal does not change his hold rating.
- 'Lawyer up': Democrats target Trump, Big Tech after midterm sweep
After the midterm victory, Democrats warned tech CEOs to prepare for a wave of subpoenas and signaled investigations into Trump family business dealings when the new Congress takes office in January. Senator Ed Markey said Big Tech executives would need to 'plant new forests' for all the subpoenas being printed, while incoming House Oversight chairman Robert Garcia pledged to target 'the Trump Crime Family', corporate corruption and the Epstein files. Punchbowl News reported that Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang could face scrutiny, with Sam Altman and Dario Amodei named as potential witnesses. House Judiciary Democrats have also scrutinized Trump's crypto dealings, citing a November 2025 staff report alleging he used the presidency to enrich his family.
- IonQ vs. SoundHound AI: Which Technology Stock Is a Better Buy for 2027?
The article compares IonQ (quantum computing) and SoundHound AI (conversational voice technology), two high-growth stocks in early expansion phases. In FY 2025, IonQ's revenue was nearly $130 million, up about 201.9%, but it posted a net loss of about $510.4 million; SoundHound reported revenue of about $168.9 million, up about 99.4%, and a net loss of nearly $14 million. The author sees IonQ as one of the few pure-play quantum options, but notes the quantum market is smaller than AI: $1.3 billion in 2025 per Fortune Business Insights, versus a forecast $1.9 trillion AI market by 2032 per Statista. If only one stock were picked, the author would choose SoundHound for its more mainstream use cases, while seeing both as possible small, speculative portfolio positions.
- Gold and silver prices surge on Nov 5: Latest updates at Phú Quý, SJC, Doji, BTMC, BTMH
On the morning of 5 November 2026, domestic gold and silver prices rose sharply, following international markets. Several firms quoted SJC gold bars at 139–141.5 million VND per tael to buy and about 144.5 million VND per tael to sell; SJC 99.99% gold rings were quoted at 138.30 million VND to buy and 142.30 million VND to sell. Phú Quý 999 silver (1 tael) was listed at 1,617,000 VND to buy and 1,667,000 VND to sell, while the 1 kg silver bar was at 43,119,892 VND to buy and 44,453,222 VND to sell. The article attributes the rally mainly to world gold (XAU/USD) around 4,136.36 USD/ounce, up 76.01 USD (+1.87%) after the U.S. midterm elections, as the dollar weakened and U.S. Treasury yields fell; world silver stood at 53.08 USD/ounce.
- i-80 Gold Stock What Granite Creek Feasibility Study Changes
i-80 Gold reported third-quarter 2026 sales of US$32.73 million and a net loss of US$48.35 million, while advancing its Nevada projects. The completed Granite Creek feasibility study yielded a first mineral reserve, and work continues at Archimedes and Lone Tree. For the first nine months of 2026, sales reached US$109.47 million and the net loss was US$179.48 million, with liquidity of about US$411 million. First underground production from Archimedes is targeted by year-end 2026. The article says the main risk is that higher spending and constraints on third-party processing could keep weighing on cash generation before Lone Tree is fully ready.
