State Securities Commission (UBCKNN) Chairwoman Vũ Thị Chân Phương said listed companies need to improve governance, transparency and capital efficiency to retain international capital flows after the market upgrade. As of 21 October 2026, stock market capitalisation reached 10.16 quadrillion VND, over 79% of estimated 2025 GDP; listed bonds totalled about 2.94 quadrillion VND (around 23% of GDP), and investor accounts exceeded 14 million. On 21 September 2026, FTSE Russell upgraded Vietnam from frontier to secondary emerging market status. The regulator will pursue five priority tasks: completing the legal framework (amendments to the Securities Law are under review by the National Assembly), modernising infrastructure, diversifying products, developing investors, and applying AI to supervision. She also proposed that ministries review foreign ownership limits to make them more favourable.

- Foreign investors dump nearly $1 billion of Vietnamese stocks in October in 20 straight net-selling sessions
Foreign investors net sold more than VND 24,000 billion (nearly US$1 billion) on HoSE in October 2026, nearly five times September's VND 4,844 billion and the heaviest monthly net selling in 13 months. Over 22 sessions, they were net sellers on 20 days, extending a run of 20 straight net-selling sessions from September 23 to October 20. Selling pressure centred on Masan Consumer (MCH), with about VND 9,602 billion net sold, mainly from a negotiated transfer of more than 64.2 million shares on October 9; excluding MCH, net selling was still about VND 14,400 billion. Year to date through October, foreign investors had net sold nearly VND 122,000 billion on HoSE, close to the record VND 125,000 billion set in all of 2025. The article attributes the trend to global capital favouring markets with more attractive earnings growth stories, high international bond yields and fund rebalancing, as well as a mismatch between passive funds buying ahead of an upgrade and active funds realising gains.
- A 'Hot' Stock Sees Over VND 350 Billion in Foreign Net Selling in the Week's Final Session
Foreign investors net sold about VND 641 billion of shares across the market in the October 30 session, including VND 633 billion on HOSE. The VN-Index fell 14 points to 1,741 points after sharp swings, with HOSE liquidity exceeding VND 14,600 billion. VIC was the most net-sold stock on HOSE at VND 353 billion, followed by TCB (VND 133 billion) and MBB (VND 43 billion). In contrast, VHM was the most net-bought with over VND 69 billion, followed by VCB (VND 37 billion) and VJC (VND 31 billion). On HNX, foreign investors net bought VND 5 billion, led by TNG at VND 7 billion, while on UPCOM they net sold VND 13 billion, mainly QNS at VND 13 billion.
- Foreign investors net sell over 900 billion VND
Foreign investors net sold about 908 billion VND in the second straight session, the highest level in half a month, pushing the VN-Index down nearly 11 points to 1,763.5 points. FPT saw the heaviest net selling at 258 billion VND, while other tickers saw sales of only tens of billions each, and foreign buying in MSN, TCB and VIC was modest. Johan Nyvene, chairman of HSC, said capital allocation depends on investor sentiment, economic and political conditions and expected returns relative to risk, and that the market upgrade is a long-prepared roadmap rather than an overnight change. On HoSE, 203 stocks fell against 97 that rose, and total trading value dropped more than 20% to about 13,500 billion VND, reflecting caution. VCBS said cash flow remains fragmented and concentrated in large-caps, while BSI noted investors should avoid raising exposure too quickly before the trend is confirmed.
- SSI Research Director projects a scenario of USD 10 billion flowing into Vietnam's stock market
Phạm Lưu Hưng, Director of Analysis at SSI Research, says MSCI values real implementation over new policies, so Vietnam should remove bottlenecks rather than wait for funds leaving Indonesia. Progress has emerged on free-float and foreign ownership, while the central counterparty (CCP) mechanism could be rolled out in Q1/2027 or by Q2/2027 at the latest. In the base case, Vietnam could be placed under review in 2028 and formally upgraded in 2029, and an earlier CCP launch could bring the timeline forward by a year. He estimates that total assets under management of MSCI-tracking funds could exceed USD 2,000 billion at the time of upgrade, and that a 0.5% weight would imply potential inflows of about USD 10 billion, possibly staged in tranches running until around 2030 in the base case.
- Good news: Foreign investors snap 21-session selling streak, spend nearly VND 300 billion to accumulate a bank stock
The VN-Index rose nearly 47 points to 1,739 points, with HoSE liquidity improving to about VND 17,440 billion and the Vingroup group leading the rally. Foreign investors returned to net buying of about VND 160 billion, ending a streak of 21 consecutive sessions of net selling; on HoSE alone, they net bought VND 190 billion. On HoSE, TCB saw the largest net buying at about VND 290 billion, while FPT faced the biggest net selling at about VND 173 billion. On HNX, foreigners net sold VND 31 billion, while UPCoM saw net buying of VND 1 billion.
- Market Pulse, Oct 20: Cash Flow Returns in Afternoon Session as Market Turns Green
The VN-Index rose 2 points to close near 1,692, while the HNX-Index gained 0.05 points to nearly 258, as financial-banking, real estate and non-essential consumer stocks turned positive in the afternoon session. PNJ hit the ceiling price, while VHM's 4% decline weighed on the index. Liquidity recovered, but total trading value of 14.2 trillion VND was about the same as the previous session. Foreign investors net sold nearly 280 billion VND, led by ACB (136 billion VND), VHM (135 billion VND) and KDC (100 billion VND), while TCB saw net buying of 345 billion VND. In the morning session, red dominated as the VN-Index fell nearly 11 points to 1,670, mainly due to banking stocks and VHM. SBT dropped over 6% as trading volume surged to nearly 31 million units, versus about 1 million units in recent sessions.

- Australia lifts rates to 18-year high as AI boom, energy costs fuel inflation
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) raised its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 4.85%, the highest level in 18 years. It warned inflation would stay elevated through much of 2027, as energy costs and AI-related investment pushed up prices for technology goods, while fuel and commodity prices rose amid the Middle East conflict. The board voted 6–3 for the increase, with three members preferring to hold at 4.60%. It pushed back its forecast for inflation to return to the top of its 2%–3% target range until late 2027, about three quarters later than previously expected. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the decision, though widely expected, is difficult news for families and businesses, and it contrasts with the US Federal Reserve's decision to hold rates last week.
- Why Rivian Stock Popped Today
Shares of Rivian Automotive (RIVN) rose more than 8% on Monday after bullish analyst commentary. Third-quarter revenue climbed 38% year over year to nearly $2.2 billion, while deliveries rose 46% to 19,248 vehicles, driven by the new midsize SUV R2. CEO RJ Scaringe said customer and media feedback on the R2 has been exceptional. Rivian raised its full-year delivery target to 67,000–70,000 vehicles from 65,000–70,000. UBS analyst Joseph Spak sees the share price rising another 30% to $17 and expects faster R2 sales to lift margins; adjusted net loss per share narrowed to $0.48 from $0.65, and software and services revenue rose 45% to $605 million while gross profit rose 66% to $256 million.
