- Stocks Unexpectedly Surge 33 Points: What's Happening?
VN-Index reversed from a weak open to close up 33.4 points (+1.97%) at 1,733.02 on Nov 4, recovering the 1,700-point psychological level lost after a string of losing sessions. Nguyễn Thế Minh of An Bình Securities (ABS) said the U.S. mid-term congressional election on Nov 3, along with a weaker U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasury yields, could ease currency pressure on emerging markets like Vietnam. The same day, the State Bank of Vietnam announced a VND liquidity plan via 182-day USD/VND FX swaps of up to USD 2 billion, to be executed on Nov 6, which could initially inject up to about VND 48,800 billion; the tenor is longer than the 7-day swap in September. MB Securities (MBS) noted that November has risen in 70% of the past 10 years, averaging 3.8% gains, but many stocks have broken below October's lows even as large caps supported the index. Minh said a sustainable rally needs improved cash flow and continued gains in leading stocks.

- Barton Gold begins scoping study for Challenger mine feed
Barton Gold has started a scoping study to assess underground mine feed at its Challenger Gold Project in South Australia, following an updated JORC (2012) mineral resource estimate that more than doubled the underground resource to 230,000oz at 3.65g/t gold. The review will test whether this high-grade material can be processed at the nearby Central Gawler Mill, which the company says is fully permitted and suitable for refurbishment. SRK Consulting (Australasia) will lead the study, building on its work for the ongoing definitive feasibility study (DFS). The company also reported high-grade zones of up to 170g/t gold in the pit walls of the Challenger main open pit, and the underground mine produced more than one million ounces of gold between 2002 and 2018.
