Vietnam Stock Market Recovers After Four-Day Decline, Foreign Investors Return

Vietnam’s stock market ended its four-session losing streak today as the VN-Index rebounded nearly 6 points, closing at 1,316. Strong bottom-fishing sentiment and a surge in foreign inflows helped lift the market, with total liquidity on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE) exceeding VND 18.4 trillion.

The VN-Index stayed in positive territory throughout the session, at one point rising over 13 points before slightly retreating toward the close. Large-cap stocks led the rally, with the VN30 basket contributing more than VND 8.2 trillion to the total market turnover.

Foreign investors were a key driver of the rebound, making net purchases worth over VND 340 billion (approximately USD 13.3 million). They bought nearly VND 2,500 billion worth of shares and sold around VND 2,160 billion, ending their four-session selling streak. VIX was the most heavily accumulated stock by foreign funds, with a net volume of 7.6 million shares.

Sector Highlights:

Vingroup-affiliated stocks led the positive momentum: VHM jumped 2.7% to VND 72,600; VRE surged 3.7% to VND 26,500; VIC edged up 0.3%

Fertilizer stocks saw broad-based gains: DGC rose 3.6% to VND 91,300; DPM, DCM, BFC also posted gains between 1–3%

Banking sector was mixed: Positive movers included STB, TCB, OCB, MSB (each up over 1%); Others like EIB, CTG, SSB, MBB, BID ended below reference prices

Real estate stocks showed divergence: Gains for SCR, QCG, DXG, NLG; Declines of over 1.5% for small caps HQC, HPX, AGG, KHG

Oil & gas sector came under strong selling pressure: Key stocks GAS, PLX, BSR dropped 0.4%–1%; Only PVT held steady in green

Liquidity Update: No stocks recorded a liquidity breakout.; HPG topped the trading value chart at VND 780 billion; Followed by SHB, VHM, MWG, and STB (each with VND 650–700 billion in trading value)

The rebound, driven largely by foreign investors and bargain hunters, suggests cautious optimism is returning to Vietnam’s stock market after a period of correction. However, sector divergence and continued volatility in oil & gas reflect ongoing market uncertainty.
