Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn told the regular Government meeting that Vietnam's macroeconomy remains stable and socio-economic conditions continued to improve in October, even as global conditions stay volatile, notably the Middle East conflict that pushed world oil prices up 3-4.2% in October from September. The IMF raised its 2026 growth forecast for Vietnam from 7.1% to 8.4%, and R&I included Vietnam in its investment-grade category for the first time. Industrial production rose 12.4% over 10 months, and exports reached US$499.24 billion (up 27.5%), with total trade over US$1,010 billion, passing US$1,000 billion for the first time. Registered FDI reached US$54.85 billion, up 74%. The report also flags difficulties, including no breakthrough in production and business activity, and pressure on financial, monetary and credit markets.

- Economic Watch : China economy sustains growth as innovation , openness gain ground
China's National Bureau of Statistics reported GDP growth of 4.6% year on year in the first three quarters, with third-quarter growth of 4.5%, up from 4.3% in the second quarter. The economy added 5.7 trillion yuan (about $851.9 billion) in output from January to September, the largest same-period increase in five years, while September industrial output rose 5.5% and retail sales grew 1.1%. Observers attribute the momentum to modern services, the digital economy and high-end manufacturing, which together contributed over 40% of expansion in the first half, and point to integrated circuit exports up 99.1% and electric vehicle exports up 72.3% in the period. IMF Fiscal Affairs Director Rodrigo Valdes said China is less vulnerable than countries with comparable debt levels, citing liquid assets, low interest rates and a high savings rate.
- China third-quarter growth narrowly beats forecasts
China's economy grew 4.5% in July–September from a year earlier, slightly above the 4.4% AFP poll forecast and up from 4.3% in the previous quarter, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. The figure still sits at the lower end of Beijing's 4.5–5.0% annual target, and officials described domestic demand as insufficient. September retail sales rose 1.1%, the fastest since March, while fixed-asset investment fell 7.2% over the first nine months. Exports, boosted by AI-related demand, remain a bright spot and could top last year's $1.2 trillion trade surplus, stoking tensions with the EU and US. The IMF recently lowered its forecast for China's annual growth this year to 4.5%.
- China economy accelerated in the July - September quarter on robust exports
China said its economy grew 4.5% year on year in the July–September quarter, up from 4.3% in April–June, helped by strong exports, and 4.6% over the first three quarters. Domestic demand remains weak as the property downturn drags on, and analysts warn the headline figure increasingly masks gaps across industries, regions and households. Exports rose 36% last month, and the trade surplus so far this year reached $938 billion, putting China on track to exceed last year's record $1.2 trillion. The EU, which runs a trade deficit with China, has agreed with Beijing to roughly halve imports of Chinese hybrid vehicles over the next few years, while Chinese exports to the EU rose 16% in the first three quarters. The IMF trimmed its 2026 growth forecast for China to 4.5%, the lower end of Beijing's 4.5%–5% target.
- FTAs - driven exports behind India recent growth upgrades by global agencies : Jayant Sinha
Former Union Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha says India's strong economic growth is partly driven by robust exports, helped by free trade agreements with the UK, the European Union, the UAE and other countries, as well as a weaker rupee. Speaking on the sidelines of the 'Pathways to Viksit Bharat' event in Delhi, he called the trade deals 'absolute game changers' that are strengthening the export engine and supporting job creation. He noted that international agencies have upgraded India's growth forecasts for fiscal year 2026-27: the IMF raised its projection by 0.6 percentage points to 7 per cent, while the World Bank and OECD put theirs at 7.1 per cent, and the ADB, S&P Global and Moody's forecast 7 per cent. Sinha also praised the government and the Reserve Bank of India for sustaining growth while keeping inflation modest, adding that the RBI is watching inflation closely and already acted at its latest Monetary Policy Committee meeting.

Former Indian Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha attributes part of India's strong economic growth to robust exports, supported by free trade agreements (FTAs) with the UK, EU and UAE and a weaker rupee. Speaking at the 'Pathways to Viksit Bharat' event in Delhi, he called these trade deals 'absolute game changers' that are strengthening the export engine and supporting job creation. He noted that agencies worldwide have upgraded India's growth forecast for fiscal 2026-27: the IMF raised its projection by 0.6 percentage points to 7%, the World Bank and OECD lifted theirs to 7.1%, and the ADB, S&P Global and Moody's each set 7%. Sinha also commended the government and the Reserve Bank of India for sustaining robust growth while keeping inflation modest, noting the RBI is closely monitoring prices.

- Elon Musk Has Just Made a Shocking Proposal: Those Who Hear It "Panic and Can't Sit Still" – Must Be Stopped Immediately
According to two sources, SpaceX is in talks with EchoStar, parent of budget carrier Boost Mobile, to launch a dedicated mobile service through a partnership, which could involve acquiring Boost or gaining access to the network infrastructure Boost leases from AT&T and T-Mobile US. Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T had all previously rejected Musk's request for network access. MoffettNathanson estimates the US mobile market is worth up to $235 billion, and SpaceX agreed to spend $8 billion on spectrum licenses to cover areas where satellite signals cannot reach. However, experts say satellite signals are not yet strong enough for indoor and urban coverage, and the service may still need approval from the major carriers. SpaceX and Musk have not commented.

Vũ Thị Thu Hương, wife of DIC Corp CEO Nguyễn Quang Tín, has also registered to buy 1 million more shares from 15/10/2026 to 13/11/2026.

- Midterm Election Impact: SPCX, ASTS, RKLB Stocks Sink As Musk’s Political Ties Put Tesla-SpaceX Merger Under Fresh Scrutiny
SPCX, ASTS and RKLB, along with several other space stocks, fell between 2% and 6% overnight as fears of political backlash against Elon Musk after Democratic midterm gains spread across the sector. Market observers said heightened scrutiny of government contracts and possible hearings could complicate a Tesla–SpaceX merger, though it would not automatically block the deal. Musk contributed $446 million during the 2026 midterm cycle, mostly to Republican-aligned groups. Investor George Noble urged adding to his bearish bets on SPCX and TSLA, while Morgan Stanley said SPCX trades cheaper than the S&P 500 for fiscal year 2028, at 17.6 times estimated earnings versus the index's 17.7 times.
