Selling pressure focused on banks, with VIC down nearly 4% and pulling the index down more than 13 points, while oil and gas stocks such as PVT, BSR and GAS rose about 1-2% and helped limit the decline. Liquidity reached over VND 13,000 billion, and foreign investors extended their net selling to 19 consecutive sessions, buying about VND 1,400 billion against sales of about VND 2,200 billion.

TPS sees the index nearing long-term support around 1,685 points, with any sustained recovery depending on improved liquidity.
- Finance Minister: Regulators Continue Working with MSCI to Keep Assessing and Ranking the Market
On the morning of October 28 at the National Assembly, Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn responded to delegates' comments on the draft amendments to the Securities Law, after 32 comments in group discussions and 10 speeches in the plenary session. He said FTSE Russell has upgraded Vietnam's stock market from frontier to secondary emerging status, and regulators are continuing to work with MSCI on further assessment and ranking, which he said would attract international funds thanks to greater transparency. The minister stressed that the stock market is a key medium- and long-term capital channel, aiming to mobilize capital of about 40% of GDP to support double-digit growth, and that protecting investors' legitimate rights is the law's most important goal. On staffing, he noted that between 2000 and 2012, more than 180 of the over 300 Securities Commission staff moved to securities firms, underscoring the need for reasonable pay policies.

- National Assembly deputies: tighten resale price rules for social housing after 5 years
During the National Assembly's session on October 28 discussing the draft amended Law on Housing, several deputies commented on resale prices of social housing after 5 years. The draft requires that, after 5 years from full payment, buyers may transfer homes only to people eligible to buy them, instead of selling freely on the market as current law allows. Deputy Lý Anh Thư supports curbing speculation but says the draft lacks principles for setting resale prices, which could be based on the original purchase price and an adjustment coefficient; deputy Thạch Phước Bình worries that capping prices too low would limit owners' property rights. Some deputies propose transitional provisions for those who have met or are about to meet the 5-year threshold, and linking housing data with land and population data to manage the whole process of selection, allocation and use.

- Warren Buffett’s Favorite Market Gauge Has Blown Past a Level He Once Called a Warning. History Says This Comes Next.
The article says the Buffett indicator, the ratio of total stock market capitalization to GNP or GDP, now hovers near 237%, above the 200% level Warren Buffett warned about in a 2001 article. The gauge has risen well above its long-term moving average three times in the past 100 years: before the October 1929 crash, during the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s, and in late 2021. After the late-2021 peak, the S&P 500 entered a bear market within weeks and fell 19% the following year. The article discusses approaches such as waiting for long-term returns, building cash and choosing stocks that may hold up during turbulence, and notes that Berkshire Hathaway holds nearly $385 billion in cash. It stresses that history does not always repeat itself.
