Idle cash after a volatile week: start with time horizon

VND 20 Trillion in Bonds: Sacombank Is Rebuilding Its Buffer

Carbon Exchange Opens, Emissions Costs Enter Stock Analysis

From June 29, Vietnam's carbon exchange gives emissions a formal system for registration, custody, trading, and settlement. For retail investors, the real story is not day-one carbon prices but how a new cost layer starts feeding into margins and valuations.
