Sacombank is offering a VND 10,000 billion loan package at 7.9% per year to new corporate customers in import-export and FDI, valid until December 31, to fund working capital, supplier payments and year-end orders. It follows a package of nearly VND 100,000 billion launched in August, which carried 8.5-9.5% annual rates. The move comes as import-export turnover for the first 10 months was estimated at 1,010.6 billion USD, up 32.3%, and FDI capital reached 21.07 billion USD as of September 30, the highest for the first nine months in five years. The bank also offers trade finance, letters of credit (LC) and international payment services to help firms manage cash-flow pressure during production and while waiting for payment.

- What Trump losing power over Congress means for Iran, Ukraine and foreign policy
According to CNBC experts, with Democrats taking control of Congress, President Donald Trump could focus more on foreign policy in his final two years in office, while facing closer scrutiny over the wars in Iran and Ukraine. The Associated Press projects Democrats will win a Senate majority and have also taken control of the House, giving them more scope to scrutinize the administration and challenge Trump's foreign-policy agenda. Laurel Rapp of Chatham House said Democrats could use the 'power of the purse' to limit spending on U.S. military and Iran-related costs, but making such restrictions binding over a presidential veto would require enough votes to override it. J.C. Lintzenich of the German Marshall Fund said the president is not a 'lame duck' since he still holds considerable foreign-policy authority, while Congress is expected to provide more oversight, including on Ukraine funding required by law.
- A decision effective from 1/1/2027 will help Dien May Xanh expand its market share
DMX expects Q4 2026 profit to be no lower than Q3, supported by the year-end shopping season, and targets 2026 profit after tax of VND 10,000 billion (+64% YoY), though it could exceed VND 10,500 billion, with 2027 revenue and profit after tax expected to rise 15% and 20%. Vietcap says the planned ban on imports of used electronic devices from 1/1/2027 is likely to benefit DMX, which mainly sells new, genuine products. Management expects ICT and electrical appliances to grow double digits in 2027 and later years, driven by AI-related upgrades, the end of Windows 10 support and replacement of devices bought in 2020–2022. With a market share of about 50% in each category, DMX sees room for further expansion. The House of Future model (AI, Robotics, Smart Home) is expected to launch in Q4 2026 or Q1 2027 at the latest, with no emphasis on revenue or profit targets in the initial phase.
- Deputy Governor Pham Thanh Ha: SBV Strongly Implementing Measures to Reduce Interest Rate Levels
Deputy Governor Pham Thanh Ha said the SBV will actively manage liquidity and supply capital to the market to support lower interest rates, amid high credit demand and global inflation pressure on rates. The SBV has asked credit institutions to cut deposit rates by 0.5-1% per year for new deposits with terms of 6 months or more and to reduce lending rates by 1.5-2% for production, business and priority sectors. Banks have uniformly cut listed rates by 0.5% per year, actual deposit rates fell about 0.4%, and new loan rates fell 0.2-0.5% compared with early October. More than 20 banks have announced preferential credit programs, and the SBV recently launched a 6-month FX-to-VND swap tool.
- FPT 'Reborn'
FPT shares rose to the daily limit of VND 53,900 per share in the 4/11 session, with over 12 million shares traded, lifting market capitalisation by about 6,400 billion VND and regaining the 100,000 billion VND level, after falling to 49,550 VND on 3/11, the lowest in nearly three years. Foreign investors sold a net of about 17,000 billion VND of FPT shares in the first 10 months of 2026 but bought a net of about 183 billion VND in the 4/11 session. On 3/11, FPT put its chip testing and packaging plant in Bac Ninh into trial operation, with a designed maximum capacity of 300 million chips per year, and signed a cooperation MoU with MobiFone on digital infrastructure and platforms. For the first nine months of 2026, revenue reached 40,023 billion VND (+12.4%), pre-tax profit reached 8,770 billion VND (+17%), and revenue from AI and data services rose 55%. VCBS expects FPT's domestic technology revenue to grow 35% in 2026 and 40% in 2027, while the article notes that a sustainable recovery will need more supportive cash flow, especially from foreign investors.
- Democrats win US House to secure control of Congress in midterms
Democrats have won control of both chambers of Congress in the midterms, winning House seats in districts where Trump beat his Democratic opponent by up to 18 percentage points in 2024. They also flipped at least seven Senate seats in Kansas, Iowa, Texas, Ohio, Maine, North Carolina and South Carolina, according to the Associated Press. From January 2027 they will take control of House committees, allowing subpoenas and investigations into the Trump administration and his family's business interests, which could reshape the outlook for crypto legislation and bring greater scrutiny of Trump-linked digital asset businesses. Commentators cited affordability, including high energy costs and renewed rate increases, as the defining issue, while David Gokhshtein blamed Republican candidates for failing to connect with voters. Prediction markets had put the chance of Democrats winning both chambers at roughly 75% before the results were announced.
- Zcash Is Getting a Major Upgrade in November. Could This Be a Catalyst for Further ZEC Price Gains?
The NU7 upgrade, due around Nov. 5, will cut Zcash's target block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, making confirmations roughly three times faster, although each exchange sets its own confirmation count. It also sends 60% of each block's fees into a network sustainability reserve, with miners keeping 40%, adds per-block limits on shielded transactions, and shuts down the Sprout privacy pool. The main risk is execution, as activation is on a faster schedule than the usual three months and stable mainnet software only launched on Oct. 22; funds left in Sprout would be lost. The author doesn't expect a big price impact, since upgrades are scheduled in advance and Zcash is already up 134% year to date, though a clean switch would be a positive sign.
