Vietnam’s stock market inched higher on Wednesday, with the VN-Index gaining 7.90 points to close at 1,323.05, a 0.60 percent increase. Total trading value on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE) reached VND 25.24 trillion, or approximately US$970.77 million, reflecting resilient domestic sentiment.
Foreign investors turned net buyers, accumulating VND 479 billion, or US$18.42 million, in net inflows — the strongest foreign buying session in recent days. Buy orders totalled VND 3,251 billion (US$125 million), while sell orders amounted to VND 2,773 billion (US$106.65 million).
It was a familiar pattern: passive and banking-linked inflows on the buy side, while real estate names continued to face foreign selling pressure.
Among the stocks foreign investors favoured were:
- FUEVFVND ETF (FUEVFVND), closing at VND 32,150, up 0.13 percent
- Sacombank (STB), closing at VND 41,800, up 5.82 percent
- Vinhomes (VHM), closing at VND 67,300, up 7.00 percent
- Novaland (NVL), closing at VND 12,650, up 6.75 percent
- Viettel Construction (VCG), closing at VND 23,350, up 6.87 percent
These stocks all recorded strong net inflows. In particular, STB saw consistent foreign interest on upbeat banking momentum, while ETF-linked FUEVFVND benefited from renewed passive positioning.
On the flip side, top foreign sells included:
- Vinhomes (VHM)
- Saigon – Hanoi Bank (SHB)
- Sacombank (STB)
- Viettel Construction (VCG)
- FUEVFVND ETF
Despite the selling, real estate names like VHM and NVL rallied sharply, indicating that domestic demand continues to outweigh foreign caution. This divergence may point to improving retail sentiment and speculative repositioning ahead of mid-year earnings updates.
