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.
Foreign investors injected nearly 4,700 billion dong into Vingroup shares on monday, driving Vietnam's stock market to a record net buying value and its highest liquidity in a month.
Maintaining a positive trend since opening, but under pressure from Vingroup group stocks, the stock market reversed in the final minutes, dropping nearly 7 points.
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.
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 VN-Index fell for seven consecutive sessions, at one point dropping below the 1,800-point mark due to selling pressure concentrated on Vingroup-related stocks.
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.
Investors heavily sold Vingroup-related stocks, causing the Ho Chi Minh City exchange's benchmark index to drop nearly 10 points to 1,874 points, its lowest since the start of the month.
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.
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.
