Guangzhou International Arbitration Court Opens Vietnam Liaison Office to Support China-Vietnam Cross-Border Dispute Resolution

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, June 12 -- The Guangzhou Arbitration Commission (GZAC) has officially opened the Vietnam Liaison Office of the Guangzhou International Arbitration Court in Ho Chi Minh City, marking a new step in strengthening China–Vietnam arbitration cooperation and supporting businesses engaged in cross-border commerce and investment. The launch comes as economic ties between China and Vietnam continue to deepen. Bilateral trade exceeded US$250 billion in 2025, with Vietnam remaining China's largest trading partner within ASEAN. Under the Belt and Road Initiative, cooperation between the two countries has expanded across sectors including renewable energy, digital economy, infrastructure and cross-border investment. As commercial exchanges increase, so does demand for efficient, predictable and enforceable dispute resolution services. The Vietnam Liaison Office is designed to respond to this growing need by providing businesses with easier access to arbitration-related information, procedural guidance and dispute resolution support. Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mark Feldman, President of the Guangzhou International Arbitration Court, said the office reflects GZAC's commitment to providing arbitration services closer to users and supporting the evolving needs of companies operating across borders. Located in Ho Chi Minh City, the office will serve as a regional platform for Chinese and Vietnamese businesses seeking professional dispute resolution services. It will draw on GZAC's experience in international arbitration, digital dispute resolution and cross-border case administration. GZAC has continued to expand its international presence in recent years. In 2025, it handled 877 foreign-related cases with a total disputed amount exceeding US$1.8 billion. Parties came from 22 countries and regions, while the institution has served users from 67 jurisdictions worldwide. Nearly 40 percent of the members of its current arbitration committee are foreign nationals or professionals from Hong Kong and Macao, representing six jurisdictions. GZAC is also a pioneer in digital dispute resolution. As one of the first official global partners of the APEC Collaborative Framework for Online Dispute Resolution (APEC-ODR), it operates an online dispute resolution platform that integrates negotiation, mediation and arbitration services. The platform supports real-time translation in eight languages and has handled more than 1,000 cases involving claims exceeding RMB10 billion. Through its Vietnam Liaison Office, GZAC plans to deepen engagement with arbitration institutions and legal service providers across Vietnam and ASEAN, contributing to a more efficient environment for cross-border trade and investment. -- PRNewswire -- Source: Guangzhou Arbitration Commission (GZAC)

Navigating High Market Volatility: Insights from JustMarkets

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, June 12 -- High volatility contributes to making one of the most active environments in the world of finance. In addition, prices fluctuate quicker; price ranges increase, and news and technical levels, as well as liquidity areas, have greater influence. The opportunity that such volatility offers is attractive for active traders who may find chances to benefit from it. However, there are risks as well.     Why Volatility Requires a Different Approach It is important to note that volatile market environments differ from those that exhibit low volatility. It could happen that prices break support and resistance levels quicker, spreads are wider, and more often stops are hit. Thus, techniques and approaches that have proven themselves effective in low-volatility environments might need adjustments. Things that traders must consider include: broader price range quickly emerging breakout or reversal scenarios a strong reaction to economic figures high slippage potential Scalping in Volatile Markets Scalping is one of those approaches that concentrate on taking advantage of smaller price movements. Under high-volatility circumstances, scalping may become very appealing due to the fact that prices cover greater distances in lesser amounts of time. At the same time, volatility means higher risks. Being slow or even just late on entering the market may negatively impact the efficiency of your scalping system. That is why scalping requires trading liquid assets, narrow spreads, and quick executions. In terms of volatile markets, successful scalping might require the following elements: trading during market hours avoiding poorly structured markets having pre-defined entry and exit points reducing exposure period carefully controlling positions News Trading and Event-Driven Volatility Trading the news means paying attention to how the markets react to different news events that have an impact on the economy or certain asset classes. Price action is likely to be sudden when news regarding consumer price index, interest rates, employment, and oil supplies, among others, is released. The problem is that the initial reaction may not necessarily indicate the final outcome. Prices may move in one direction and reverse later because traders realize that their initial assumption was wrong. Risk Management During High Volatility Volatility plays a crucial role in making risk management more relevant. When volatility grows, it can happen that usual stop-loss settings become too narrow, while overpositioning may result in quick capital reduction. To handle this situation, traders use smaller sizes, set wider stops according to the market environment, avoid being overexposed to assets showing high correlation, and employ take-profits more actively. Why Platform Infrastructure Matters High volatility calls for an execution infrastructure that ensures good execution. In fast markets, it is necessary to have an infrastructure that provides good order processing and enables smooth access to price information. The JustMarkets trading platform has been designed to meet the needs of traders who use a trading style that benefits from high volatility markets. The trading infrastructure, which is very reliable, offers the following functionalities: efficient trading orders, risk management tools, real-time charting, stop losses, and take profits. Conclusion High volatility is a source of opportunity, but also requires discipline and organization. Because experienced traders do not merely react to market activity. Rather, they organize themselves for market action and employ the right strategy and technology. Risk Warning: Trading Forex and CFDs involves significant risk and can result in the loss of your invested capital.

Malaysia drops 17 places to 138th in the world

KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia's position has plummeted from 121st to 138th in the world in the latest rankings released by the International Football Federation (FIFA). Based on today's latest update, Harimau Malaya, who collected 1,086.22 total points, fell 17 places following a 1-3 defeat to Vietnam in the final Group F match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, yesterday. The sudden decline was also influenced by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) decision to cancel Harimau Malaya's two matches in the previous qualifying campaign against Nepal and Vietnam. Based on the original results, Malaysia beat Nepal 2-0 at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium on March 25 last year, in addition to thrashing Vietnam 4-0 at the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil, on June 10 last year. However, on March 17, the AFC Disciplinary and Ethics Committee decided that Malaysia would be declared a 0-3 loser for both matches after Harimau Malaya were found to have fielded ineligible players. The move was made following the document falsification issue involving seven Harimau Malaya players, namely Gabriel Palmero, Facundo Garces, Rodrigo Holgado, Imanol Machuca, Joao Figueiredo, Jon Irazabal and Hector Hevel.
