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.

- Brent crude hovers around $109 a barrel
Brent crude settled up 3 cents at $108.82 a barrel on October 21, while WTI fell 67 cents to $97.15, as the risk of supply disruption in the Middle East kept markets on edge. Iran's Revolutionary Guards said mines had stopped three tankers trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz on routes Tehran considers unauthorized, and two of the violating vessels caught fire. Houthi forces claimed attacks on Saudi Aramco's Yanbu facility, the Shaybah oilfield and airports in Riyadh and Abha. Goldman Sachs said average global crude freight rose above $20 a barrel from $3 a year earlier, with about $7 of that increase from war-risk premiums for Hormuz transit, and warned higher shipping costs could push up refined product prices.
- Expert: World oil prices set for unprecedented surge
Brent crude is trading near $110 a barrel and U.S. crude near $100, up about 80% and more than 70% respectively since the start of the year. William Blair analyst Neal Dingmann warns of a possible “super spike,” as tanker attacks linked to Iran and record shipping costs tighten physical supply. The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at its lowest since 1982, limiting the effect of releases, while heating oil futures have more than doubled this year. Goldman Sachs raised its December Brent forecast to $90 a barrel but sees a possible $125 if oil infrastructure is destroyed or geopolitical risk premiums stay high. Meanwhile, many U.S. producers posted record free cash flow in the second quarter.
- Oil falls as investors assess Mideast tensions, International Energy Agency's report
Oil fell Thursday as traders weighed supply risks from attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and the IEA's latest monthly report. Brent for December delivery dropped 1.66% to $104.31 a barrel and WTI for November fell 1.09% to $94.05. A Singapore-registered ship was sunk in the strait, raising fears of a prolonged Mideast conflict, and Iran said it is “counting the moments” until it can strike U.S. warships. The IEA warned diesel constraints could last into next year, and fresh attacks on Saudi Arabia threaten to derail the supply recovery. Reuters reported the Trump administration is considering easing sanctions on “shadow fleet” vessels to help lower prices, while analyst Firas Bechwaty of ICM said US-Iran diplomacy has made little progress toward reopening the waterway, though accelerated IEA emergency stock releases are cushioning prices.
- Gasoline and oil prices rise together
From 3 p.m. today, domestic gasoline and oil prices rise by 220–690 dong per liter or kilogram, following global market movements. World prices climbed after Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabian oil and gas facilities, a decline in US crude inventories, and higher diesel output at Russian refineries. The E5 RON 92 gasoline blend rose 4.68% to 138.6 USD per barrel, and diesel rose 2.71% to 172.6 USD per barrel. Domestically, E10 RON 95-III gasoline reached 25,730 dong per liter, E5 RON 92 reached 26,020 dong, and diesel reached 30,240 dong; the administrator also stopped accruing and spent from the Fuel Price Stabilization Fund on these products. Deputy Prime Minister Nguyễn Văn Thắng has assigned the Ministry of Finance to review the legal basis and feasibility of cutting gasoline's special consumption tax to 0% from 1/11 to 31/3/2027.
- Russian Diesel Unexpectedly Returns to Market as US Opens the Door: 600,000 Barrels Already Shipped, Could Surge to 3.5 Million Tonnes a Month
Russian diesel is returning to traditional markets such as Turkey, Brazil and Morocco, just days after Moscow lifted its export ban on October 9 and Washington temporarily eased some sanctions on Russian fuel. According to Kpler, two tankers carrying about 300,000 barrels of diesel each are heading to Brazil and Turkey. Still, Russia's average diesel exports this year are about 345,000 barrels a day, down 41% from a year earlier. Trump said Russia would immediately supply 300,000 tonnes, then 500,000 tonnes in November and another 1 million tonnes after that, while Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said exports could reach up to 3.5 million tonnes a month by year-end. EU and UK import bans on Russian fuel remain in place, and Washington is closely watching diesel prices ahead of the November 3 US midterm elections.
- Oil Could Fall to USD 70 per Barrel in 2027: What Lies Ahead for Vietnam's Oil and Gas Majors?
SSI Research expects the oil and gas sector to diverge in 2027: upstream companies are supported by a new investment cycle, while refining firms may face pressure as oil prices ease. After the Middle East conflict escalated from late February 2026 pushed crude prices up about 50%, sector-wide after-tax profit in H1 2026 reached roughly VND 29,000 billion, up 240%. SSI forecasts Brent to average USD 75–85 per barrel in 2027 and fall to around USD 70 by year-end, as supply is estimated by the EIA to exceed demand by about 4.9 million barrels per day. BSR, PLX and OIL may lose the benefit of low-priced inventory, and GAS's profit is forecast to drop 17%, while PVD is expected to grow 46% to about VND 1,586 billion on new rigs and PVT's profit is projected to rise 32.7%.

- 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.

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.
