- Foreign investors pour nearly VND 350 billion into one bank stock in the October 20 session
Foreign investors were net sellers of about VND 275 billion across the market in the October 20 session, including VND 220 billion on HOSE. TCB was the most heavily bought stock on HOSE at over VND 345 billion, followed by HPG and FRT at VND 145 billion and VND 78 billion, while ACB led net selling at VND 137 billion. The VN-Index stayed in the red for most of the session amid cautious sentiment before recovering slightly to close up 2 points at 1,691, with HOSE liquidity topping VND 13,000 billion.
- A rare phenomenon just appeared on the Vietnamese stock market
Foreign investors net bought VND 190 billion on HoSE on 21/10, their second net-buying session since Vietnam was upgraded to FTSE Russell's secondary emerging market status effective 21/9, ending 20 consecutive sessions of net selling; the article notes the amount is small relative to earlier selling and a reversal cannot yet be confirmed. BSC estimates about VND 33,000 billion (USD 1.27 billion) of upgrade-related inflows next year, following a roadmap of USD 141 million in September 2026, USD 282 million in March 2027 and about USD 494 million each in June and September 2027. BSC also expects selling pressure from active funds to ease after four consecutive years of net selling, and interbank liquidity to improve as the deposit-credit gap narrowed from VND 2.8 quadrillion to VND 2.7 quadrillion in August, the first decline in 11 quarters.
- Tracking Big Money Flows on 21/10: Foreign Investors Net Buy After 13 Sessions of Selling, Proprietary Desks Load Up on VJC
VN-Index rose 46.7 points in the 21/10 session, driven mainly by Vingroup group stocks hitting their daily ceiling. Foreign investors net bought VND 122 billion, their first net buy after 13 consecutive sessions of net selling, but TCB alone accounted for VND 256 billion of net purchases, so excluding TCB they were still net sellers of about VND 134 billion. Foreigners net bought MSN (VND 145 billion) and VIC (VND 89 billion), while net selling was largest in FPT (VND 173 billion), VCB (VND 106 billion) and ACB (VND 103 billion). Proprietary desks of securities firms net sold VND 146 billion on HOSE, buying most heavily in VJC (VND 286 billion) and VPB (VND 148 billion), and selling VCB (VND 102 billion), KBC (VND 100 billion) and HPG (VND 74 billion).
- 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.

- Smart money flow on 20/10: Proprietary and foreign investors both net sell

- When will foreign investors stop net selling Vietnamese stocks?
Experts expect foreign investors to struggle to return to net buying this year but see a possible reversal from mid-2027 as index-upgrade inflows rise and selling room shrinks. Foreigners have sold net for 18 straight sessions on HCMC, over VND 24,000 billion, the longest streak in two years, and bought net only one session since the FTSE Russell upgrade. Year to date net outflows total VND 118,000 billion (US$4.6 billion), and the index briefly fell below 1,700 points. Analysts blame capital shifting to US, Japanese and Chinese tech stocks, high global rates, and active funds taking profits after passive funds had already invested. Foreign ownership on HCMC has dropped from 20.6% at end-2024 to 12.5%, while the upgrade could draw US$2.5–3 billion in passive inflows, of which only about 10% has been deployed.

- Bank Profits Surge
The 9-month 2026 results show many banks continued to grow profits, with some posting record quarterly earnings. VPBank's pre-tax profit reached nearly VND 30,000 billion, up nearly 47%, equal to its full-year 2025 result and about 72.4% of its 2026 plan; Q3 pre-tax profit topped VND 11,000 billion. Techcombank posted VND 28,900 billion (up 23.7%), while LPBank reported VND 10,421 billion (up nearly 9%). SSI forecasts pre-tax profit of its monitored banks to rise 19.5% in 2026 before slowing to 15.4% in 2027, pressured by narrowing net interest margins and rising credit risk provisions. It also expects system-wide credit growth of 16-17% in 2027 and 17.9% for the monitored banks.
- World's Largest Gold Fund Dumps Over 10 Tonnes of Gold as Prices Slide
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, continued net selling of nearly 12 tonnes of gold in the 22/10 session, bringing total sales over 2 sessions to nearly 15 tonnes and cutting its holdings to about 1,046 tonnes. Spot gold fell more than 2.8% to around USD 4,025 per ounce at the close of 22/10, and briefly dipped below USD 4,000 per ounce in the morning session of 23/10. Tensions in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices higher, raising concerns about inflation and further Fed tightening, and gold has still not attracted sustained safe-haven demand even as US Treasury yields fell. US September CPI rose 0.6% month on month and 3.7% year on year, while PPI rose 1.3% and 6.3%. Markets price about an 84% chance the Fed holds rates steady at its 27-28/10 meeting and a 16% chance of a 25 basis-point increase; September PCE data due on 29/10 is the next key factor to watch.

- International Business : Global stocks nosedive as Meta dents AI optimism
Global stocks retreated as tech earnings failed to ease concerns about the AI outlook, with MSCI's All-World index set for its largest daily fall in two weeks, down 0.4 per cent.
