- VN-Index drops 16 points after strong rally
VN-Index reversed from a strong early rally to close 16 points lower in the first session of the week, finishing below 1,690 points, its lowest in nearly 3 months and more than 12% below its record high of 1,927 points. 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. MBS said seasonality is driving the market, as October has historically been the weakest period of the year, and Q3 earnings may not be enough to create a broad ripple effect. TPS sees the index nearing long-term support around 1,685 points, with any sustained recovery depending on improved liquidity.

- Stock market awaits boost from trading infrastructure
SGI Capital says Vietnam's macro picture after the first three quarters of 2026 still shows bright spots, but the stock market enters the fourth quarter facing two risks: policy pressure and liquidity risk from margin leverage. After the FTSE upgrade, trading liquidity fell below VND 15,000 billion per session and foreign investors turned to heavy net selling, driven by fears of rising global inflation and interest rates. Margin debt at a historically high level is seen as a risk that could trigger forced-sale pressure as cash demand rises in the fourth quarter. Longer term, Circular 145/2026/TT-BTC, effective 16/11/2026, introduces CCP clearing and removes the 100% cash pre-funding (NPF) requirement for foreign institutional investors, which Hàn Hữu Hậu, CEO of Hy Maxpro, called an important upgrade.
- One Month After Upgrade: Foreign Investors Net Sell Nearly $1 Billion, VN-Index Down 110 Points
One month after FTSE Russell upgraded Vietnam to secondary emerging market status, foreign investors net sold on 19 of 20 sessions, with only one net-buy session worth VND 54 billion. Cumulative net selling since Sept. 21 is about VND 24,800 billion (~US$1 billion), and year-to-date it exceeds VND 116,000 billion, close to the 2025 record of VND 125,000 billion. Selling pressure has spread to FPT and PNJ, whose foreign ownership has fallen below 28% and 27%, respectively. Major foreign ETFs are also failing to attract inflows, and Fubon Vietnam ETF has seen net outflows of over TWD 4 billion (more than VND 3,000 billion) since the start of the year. The VN-Index has fallen nearly 110 points (-6%) to around 1,700, amid high interest rates, thinner domestic liquidity and external pressures.
- Expert: Stocks May See a Technical Rebound Next Week
VN-Index closed the week at 1,705.91 points, down 1.58% from the previous week. Analysts expect further technical rebounds next week, but say this is not yet enough to confirm a bottom: 1,680–1,700 points is seen as nearby support and 1,715–1,750 points as resistance. Views differ on the next move: KBS warns the index could retest 1,650–1,670 points if selling by blue chips and foreign investors continues, while AseanSC says it must clear 1,715–1,735 points to confirm a bottom. The article suggests investors keep moderate exposure and watch liquidity and the Q3 reporting season, with the disclosure deadline on October 20.

- JPMorgan's JPM Coin, representing dollar deposits, is coming to Ethereum: Bloomberg
JPMorgan will make JPM Coin, a token representing its dollar deposits, available to institutional clients on Ethereum, according to Bloomberg. The bank says Ethereum's liquidity makes it attractive to crypto companies seeking blockchain payments and to financial firms settling trades or backing tokenized assets. The move extends JPMorgan's blockchain work beyond Base and its private Kinexys network, which processes more than $7 billion daily. The bank did not say when the token will go live on Ethereum. Meanwhile, JPMorgan is among US banks planning a shared tokenized deposit network, but it was not on Swift's list of 17 banks preparing live transactions on its blockchain ledger in July.

- Is Visa Stock Still a Buy After Gaining 14% This Year?
Visa shares hit an all-time high of $401, up about 12% over the past two weeks from $359 at the end of September and up 14% year to date. Key catalysts include approval from the People's Bank of China to set up a bankcard clearing institution in China and the move of Visa Direct's stablecoin to commercial deployment on Oct. 15. Baird and BMO Capital both raised their price targets. Visa reports fiscal fourth-quarter earnings on Oct. 27 and has raised its dividend every year since 2009, last year by 14% to $0.67 per share. The author still considers the stock a buy ahead of earnings, citing a forward P/E of 24.

- Crypto vault deposits top $10 billion as lending risks draw regulatory scrutiny
Deposits into crypto lending vaults have risen from $4 billion at the start of last year to more than $10 billion, according to the Financial Times. Each vault is run by a 'curator' who selects lending strategies through smart contracts on DeFi platforms, sets risk limits and collects fees, with typical returns of 3% to 10% and riskier strategies reaching 20% or more. Risks include illiquid or hard-to-sell collateral, automatic liquidations, hacks and coding errors, while investors may focus on headline yields. Fintechs, digital asset treasury firms and hedge funds are among the main depositors, and Bitcoin lender Two Prime launched a vault on Pareto targeting 1.5% to 2% yields, with a minimum deposit of 5 WBTC and about $10 million of its own capital absorbing initial losses. U.S. and European regulators are examining whether existing rules should apply, and the SEC has questioned vaults that hold securities.
