CNBC's Jim Cramer warned volatility may not be over after a turbulent week in which tech shares fell on renewed concerns about the AI trade, and said it was too early to call a bottom in the Nasdaq. The Nasdaq Composite rose 2.3% through Wednesday before dropping 2.9% Friday to end the week down 2%, while the S&P 500 finished down 0.6% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.9%. The coming week brings the midterm elections, earnings from Palantir, Apple, AMD, Pfizer, Amgen, CVS, McDonald's and Kimberly-Clark, and the monthly jobs report on Friday.

- The FDI race heats up as the Philippines, Malaysia and India join the competition: What does Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn say about Vietnam's target of attracting 30-40 billion USD a year in disbursed capital?
Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn told the National Assembly, while explaining the draft amendment to the Law on Investment, that competition among countries to attract investment is fierce. He cited the Philippines, Malaysia and India, which are offering incentives in sectors overlapping with Vietnam, such as electronics, computers, phones, semiconductors and digital transformation. Vietnam needs to attract an average of about 30-40 billion USD in disbursed FDI capital per year to reach growth of 10% or more, and total social investment must rise about 2.21 times compared with 2021-2025. The draft focuses incentives on high technology, innovation, digital transformation and technology transfer, ties support to measurable outputs, and sets clear conditions for ending incentives if investors fail to meet their commitments.

- One stock unexpectedly rebounds after plunging nearly 90% in value
Kosy (KOS, HOSE) shares rose 6.9% to the daily ceiling of VND 4,340 per share in the morning of November 2, their second consecutive ceiling-price session. The move followed 29 straight floor-price sessions from September 21 to October 29, during which the price fell about 90%. Morning trading volume reached nearly 6.9 million shares, and buy orders at the ceiling still exceeded 4 million shares. Entities linked to Chairman Nguyễn Việt Cường continued to face forced selling, while his sister-in-law Hoàng Thị Yến has registered to buy 8 million shares from October 15 to November 13. Kosy said brokers cutting margin lending and forced selling had increased supply pressure, while its operations remained normal. For the first six months of 2026, net revenue was nearly VND 722 billion, up 9%, and after-tax profit was nearly VND 15.4 billion, up about 120%, equal to roughly 13% of its full-year profit plan.
- US and Canada move toward new trade deal framework
US President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney have discussed the outline of a new bilateral trade agreement that includes cross-border energy infrastructure. Trump said the US has a “preliminary idea” for a deal that would benefit American farmers and the economy, and outlined plans to restart the Keystone XL pipeline, with Canada paying for and building it along a route chosen by the US. The original project was expected to carry 830,000 barrels of crude per day from Alberta, but its permit was revoked in 2021. South Bow, spun off from TC Energy, is working with Bridger Pipeline on the Prairie Connector proposal, a 550,000 barrels-per-day line from Alberta to Wyoming, with a final investment decision expected in 2027. The talks come as the two countries keep imposing retaliatory tariffs on each other, and Canada sends more than 90% of its crude production to the US.
