Stock market: VN-Index falls as foreign investors return to slight net buying

The VN-Index fell today by 9.21 points, or 0.70 percent, to close at 1,313.84 on a trading value of VND 26.41 trillion (US$1.02 billion). Market sentiment was mixed, with selective gains in key blue-chips.

Foreign trading saw a return to mild net buying. Foreign investors bought VND 2,766 billion (US$106.38 million) worth of shares and sold VND 2,651 billion (US$101.96 million), resulting in a net buy of just VND 115 billion (US$4.42 million).

Top foreign buys:

  • VIX (VIX Securities): Closed at 13.55, up 1.12 percent
  • EIB (Eximbank): Rose to 21.10, up 4.20 percent
  • VND (VNDirect): Up slightly to 15.65, with strong matched volume of 2,010, indicating foreign appetite
  • VHM (Vinhomes): Gained 1.19 percent, closing at 68.10
  • SSI (SSI Securities): Flat at 23.35, but featured prominently in total foreign trades

Top foreign sells:

  • HPG (Hoa Phat Group): Down 0.10 to 25.65 despite active foreign selling
  • VPB (VPBank): Declined 0.15 to 18.30, saw significant sell-side volume
  • VRE (Vincom Retail): Dropped 0.40 to 25.35, notable outflows
  • ACB (Asia Commercial Bank): Slight loss of 0.10, closed at 25.55

The mild foreign net inflow reflects cautious optimism, though broader sentiment remains defensive amid global macro headwinds. Retail investors continued to show resilience in select financials and real estate stocks.
