(1) Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East causing global raw material prices to rise, Vietnam’s imports surged in May, expanding its trade deficit to a historic high. According to data from the Vietnam Statistics Office, the trade deficit in May reached 5.21 billion US dollars, higher than April’s 3.28 billion US dollars.(2) In May, Vietnam’s exports grew by 18% year-on-year, lower than economists’ expectations of 19.7%; imports increased by 33.8% year-on-year, above expectations. The Middle East conflict has pushed up crude oil and other costs, delivering a heavy blow to Vietnam's export-driven economy. The Vietnamese government stated that achieving this year’s 10% growth target will be “full of challenges.”(3) Data from the Vietnam Statistics Office also shows that the United States remains Vietnam’s largest export market. From January to May this year, Vietnam’s trade surplus with the United States increased by 21.1% year-on-year, reaching 60.4 billion US dollars.

October 8 – ** Shares of medical device manufacturer Haemonetics (HAE.N) surged nearly 16% to $117.81 ** The stock hit an intraday high of $120.61, marking its highest level since early 2021 ** The company stated that CSL Plasma, a subsidiary of Australia’s CSL Group (CSL.AX), expects to transition all its U.S. plasma collection centers to using HAE’s NexSys devices and kits by the end of 2027 ** CSL has also terminated its agreement with HAE rival Terumo (Terumo 4543.T) – according to BTIG ** This transition will help HAE win back business lost since 2021, when its largest plasma client CSL announced it would not renew its U.S. supply contract ** BTIG estimates that, based on approximately $155 million in revenue HAE generated from CSL’s U.S. business in fiscal year 2024, this account could add about $0.60 per share to adjusted earnings annually, though it notes that actual revenue and profit margins remain unclear ** The brokerage maintained its “Buy” rating and raised its price target from $110 to $130, stating that the deal alleviates market share loss concerns and boosts sales growth prospects ** Including today’s gains, the stock is up 49.46% so far this year (For the convenience of non-English speakers, Reuters provides its reports in several other languages through automated translation.
