PGS.TS Trần Hoàng Ngân proposes investing in modern IT infrastructure so the stock market can move toward trading through the lunch break and continuously 24/7, after several market outages since operations began in July 2000 and with over 14 million accounts now. He stresses the need for high-quality human resources to oversee and inspect trades so that manipulation can be detected promptly. Delegate Bùi Xuân Hải says the draft's talent-retention policies are too general because it does not define the securities sector. Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn says the current system has run relatively stably but the country must master the technology to repair and upgrade it, and notes that between 2010 and 2012, 180 of the Securities Commission's 300 staff applied to leave for businesses. The Commission is asking exchanges to assess the impact of options such as trading through the lunch break, wider price bands and dropping some periodic call auction sessions, without setting an implementation date. The bill will be voted on at the 13 November session and, if passed, take effect on 1 March 2027.

- Investing in IT infrastructure to let stock investors trade 24/24 hours
National Assembly deputy Trần Hoàng Ngân said more than 14 million individual and institutional accounts are trading on the stock market, so modern IT infrastructure must be funded to keep the market running continuously, safely and transparently, moving toward trading without a lunch break. He noted Vietnam's stock market is 26 years old and has had 1-2 crashes that halted trading and forced closures, and urged state support for infrastructure investment. Deputy Nguyễn Hải Nam proposed allowing loss-making firms with partial state capital to publicly disclose information for competitive auctions of divestments, provided the disclosure clearly warns of their losses. Deputy Bùi Xuân Hải noted the draft does not define the 'securities industry', so incentive policies for its workforce need further consideration.
- 180 Securities Commission staff once resigned during a 'hot' stock market
Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn said that during the busy market period of 2010–2012, 180 of more than 300 Securities Commission staff at one point resigned to join businesses, so a mechanism to retain staff is needed. At the National Assembly session on the morning of October 28 discussing amendments to the Securities Law, delegate Trần Hoàng Ngân said the market had suffered trading halts once or twice in 26 years, with more than 14 million accounts participating, and proposed IT infrastructure investment and continuous trading without a lunch break. Delegate Bùi Xuân Hải opposed the draft's removal of the requirement that a general director comply with the law and urged keeping the current provision. The minister said protecting investors' rights and interests is the most important goal of the law. Under the stated direction, the Ho Chi Minh City exchange would focus on stocks, while the Hanoi exchange would study becoming the venue for bonds and derivatives.
- On 24/12, 300 stocks worth more than VND 460,000 billion will simultaneously halt trading, marking a historic “great migration”
According to the Vietnam Stock Exchange (VNX), all stocks listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) will move to trading on HOSE from 28 December 2026. 23 December 2026 will be the last trading session for HNX-listed stocks, and on 24 and 25 December 2026 the stocks within the transfer scope will be temporarily suspended for the transition. As of end-September 2026, HNX had 299 listed companies with total market capitalisation of over VND 463,500 billion. The reorganisation follows Circular No. 139/2025/TT-BTC dated 30/12/2025 from the Ministry of Finance, under which HOSE will serve as the organiser of trading for listed stocks while HNX continues to handle other markets as assigned.
- HNX - to - HOSE transfer unlikely to lift all stock prices : experts
All stocks listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) will move to HOSE, with December 23 as HNX's last trading day and trading on HOSE starting December 28, bringing 299 companies onto HOSE. HNX is small by comparison: its end-September market capitalisation of VNĐ463.5 trillion (about US$18 billion) equalled roughly 5.4% of HOSE's, and its average daily trading value of VNĐ711 billion was just 4.3% of HOSE's VNĐ16.4 trillion. Analysts say the transfer is mainly an organisational change and will not lift prices on its own, since share prices still depend on economic growth, earnings and companies' fundamentals. Foreign investors had sold Vietnamese equities for nine straight months through September, with cumulative net selling of about VNĐ102.2 trillion by October 7, while US Treasury yields above 5% compete for international capital.
- HoSE officially announces roadmap for transferring nearly 300 HNX-listed stocks to trading on HoSE
As of mid-October 2026, HNX had 299 listed stock codes with total market capitalisation of about 450,000 billion VND. On 20/10, HoSE announced the roadmap for reorganising trading of listed stocks under Circular 139/2025/TT-BTC, dated 30/12/2025, from the Ministry of Finance. The last trading day for all HNX-listed stocks is 23/12/2026, and the stocks being transferred will be suspended on 24 and 25/12/2026. From 28/12/2026, all listed stocks will trade on HoSE, and listed companies, market members and investors are urged to prepare in advance.
- Eric Vuong Arrested, Company Risks Losing Over VND 100 Billion
Vuong Le Vinh Nhan (Eric Vuong), former Chairman of HVA's Board of Directors, has been prosecuted and detained in a criminal case linked to the ONUS crypto exchange, along with HanaGold director Ngo Thi Thao. Auditor A&C refused to issue a conclusion on HVA's 2026 semi-annual review because records covering January 1 to March 24, 2026 have been seized by investigators. HVA faces VND 147 billion in at-risk exposure, including over VND 125 billion in business cooperation investments and a VND 22 billion receivable from Trustpay, with no provisions recorded yet. In the worst case, total assets would fall from VND 178 billion to VND 31 billion, equity from VND 149 billion to VND 1.5 billion, and the first-half pre-tax loss would rise from VND 3.5 billion to nearly VND 151 billion. The auditor also flagged material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

- The US signals again to Russia: Washington unexpectedly considers lifting sanctions on Russia's major investment fund
According to TASS, the US Treasury may review a sanctions exemption request from the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) through its standard process, an anonymous US official said. This is only an initial review and does not mean Washington has decided to lift restrictions; RDIF was placed on the sanctions list on February 28, 2022. RDIF CEO Kirill Dmitriev, who is also Putin's special envoy, is taking part in contacts aimed at boosting Russia-US economic ties and finding a solution to the Ukraine conflict. Earlier, on October 9, President Trump announced a deal with President Putin to bring Russian diesel back to the US and international markets, with planned shipments of about 300,000 tonnes in October, 500,000 tonnes in November and one million tonnes after that. If sanctions are eventually eased, the article says, this could open more room for economic cooperation between the two countries.

- Vietnam's financial market in 2027 faces pressure on liquidity and credit quality
Saigon Ratings says Vietnam's financial market showed significant changes in the first nine months of 2026: GDP grew 9.01%, realised total social investment reached about VND 3,109.6 trillion (up 15.1%), and realised FDI reached USD 21.07 billion (up 12.1%). As of 28 September 2026, credit growth was 10.89%, below 13.37% a year earlier and faster than deposit mobilisation (9.78%) by about 1.11%, which could strain liquidity if loan demand rises sharply late in the year. Corporate bond issuance is recovering but diverging across issuers, with heavy maturity pressure in Q4 2026 and 2027, especially in real estate. Average CPI for nine months was 4.52% and the goods trade deficit was USD 19.42 billion, factors that could affect capital mobilisation and credit quality. Saigon Ratings outlines three development scenarios for 2027.

- Technical analysis of the afternoon session on 28/10: Prolonged sideways trading
VN-Index continued to trade sideways and formed a Dragonfly Doji candlestick pattern while moving toward its 50-day SMA, but it remains above the middle line of the Bollinger Bands. The MACD is rising after crossing above its signal line, and the Stochastic Oscillator has moved out of oversold territory, pointing to a positive short-term outlook. HNX-Index also traded sideways with a small-bodied candle and lower volume, and sits below the Bollinger Bands middle line as the gap between its 50-day and 200-day SMAs narrows. The article says a Death Cross would make the outlook less favorable. These signals are for reference only, based on realtime data up to the close of the morning session, and may change when the afternoon session ends.
- Tesla-SpaceX Merger Needs No Premium, Investor Says — But Floats $500 To Sway Angry Holders Missing Bigger Payoff
Larry Goldberg of LumaSenti says Tesla shareholders do not need a premium to benefit from a SpaceX merger, but floats $500 a share as a figure that could persuade reluctant investors, and says his priority is completing the deal. He argues that the lower the premium, the higher the value of the SpaceX stock received, and that combining assets and cash flows could help finance a computing buildout he estimates at $500 billion to $1 trillion. Brad Gerstner of Altimeter Capital suggests a $420 to $550 range, while ARK's modeling projects benefits for both shareholder groups from a no-premium swap. Tesla's quarterly filing confirms a special committee is exploring a deeper relationship with SpaceX; Musk says the committees have not agreed on terms and Tesla would need approval from 50% of all shares.
