Following a record disbursement of over 4,000 billion dong earlier this week, foreign investors unexpectedly net sold 3,100 billion dong, primarily targeting key banking and technology stocks.
Four Vingroup-related stocks rose, along with Vietnam Airlines hitting its ceiling, pushing the VN-Index up for the second consecutive session to breach the psychological 1,800-point mark.
The VN-Index gained slightly, approaching the psychological 1,800-point threshold, supported by banking and steel stocks, which offset continued selling pressure from the Vingroup cluster.
The VN-Index lost nearly 40 points in the morning session, falling below the psychological support level of 1,800 points due to widespread selling pressure.
Investors traded less than 14 trillion VND during the weekend session, a decrease of over 8 trillion VND from the previous session, marking the lowest level since 4/2025.
The stock market has displayed numerous negative signals, with the VN-Index declining sharply, extending a 5-session correction streak, and liquidity reaching its lowest level since the beginning of the year.
Banking stocks surged and attracted strong domestic investor capital after a long period of stagnation, becoming a pillar that helped the VN-Index avoid a deep decline.
Over 200 stocks on the HoSE exchange declined, led by Vingroup and Vinhomes, causing the stock market to fall by nearly 32 points during this morning's session.
The VN-Index dropped 15 points due to significant selling pressure on state-controlled stocks, thus failing to reach the 1,950 point milestone predicted by many analytical groups.
According to Dragon Capital experts, Vingroup stocks have risen sharply but are consistent with financial health, and this level is still much lower than other benchmark stocks in other countries.
Despite two Vingroup "family" stocks continuing to decline, the VN-Index still increased by over 5 points, reaching 1,901 points, driven by the buoyant performance of the oil and gas sector and several bank stocks.
