According to Lương Hải Sinh, Chairman of the Board of Members of VNX, after 30 years the VN-Index hovers around 1,800 points, average daily trading value is about US$1 billion, and market capitalization is roughly VND 10.7 quadrillion (over US$410 billion, about 83% of GDP), with more than 1,500 listed companies and about 14 million investor accounts. The market was upgraded to secondary emerging market status and joined FTSE Russell's global index basket on September 18, 2026. To meet the target of two-digit GDP growth, the stock market needs to mobilize about VND 5.4 quadrillion (over US$200 billion) in 2026-2030, out of total investment needs of about VND 38.5 quadrillion, under Decision 1413/QĐ-TTg dated July 27, 2026. VNX is preparing VN30 index options and studying a start-up trading board, gold derivatives, gold ETFs, depositary receipts (DRs) and cross-border trading mechanisms. It is also prioritizing infrastructure upgrades, improved settlement and clearing, and stronger market supervision.

- 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.
- Despite Upgrade, Vietnam Stocks Still See About 24,000 Billion VND Outflow: Experts Point to 3 Causes
Despite FTSE Russell's upgrade of Vietnam from frontier to emerging market status, foreign investors have been net sellers, with about VND 24,000 billion withdrawn since the start of the year, mostly after the September 21 upgrade. Excluding transactions linked to Masan Consumer, according to Nguyen Quang Thuan of FiinGroup, the remaining flow is about half a billion USD. He cites three causes: high USD interest rates, with US 5-year Treasury yields at 5.2–5.3%; outflows coming mainly from active funds, while the upgrade matters most for passive funds, so inflows take time; and market constraints such as foreign ownership limits (FOL), a limited free float, and a large-cap market concentrated in banking, securities and real estate with few tech stocks. Johan Nyvene of HSC said investors may look for 12–15% returns to offset risks, a view rather than a guaranteed level.
- Deputy Chairman of Vietnam's State Securities Commission Outlines 6 Major Directions for the Stock Market After Historic Milestone
At a seminar marking 30 years of Vietnam's securities industry on October 21, Deputy Chairman Hoàng Văn Thu of the State Securities Commission outlined six major directions following the FTSE Russell upgrade. Priorities include cutting business investment conditions and simplifying administrative procedures to attract foreign capital, and implementing a central counterparty (CCP) mechanism for the underlying stock market by 2027, alongside modernizing trading infrastructure. The list also includes diversifying financial products and promoting equitization and state divestment. As of September 30, 2026, stock market capitalization reached 10.3 quadrillion VND, equal to 80.2% of estimated 2025 GDP, and investor accounts rose from about 3,000 in 2000 to nearly 14.1 million, or 13.8% of the population, surpassing the 2030 target of 11 million.

- Tether leads $15 million funding round for AI-focused payment startup Mural
Tether led a $15 million Series A round in Mural, a New York-based financial infrastructure company founded by former Palantir engineers, bringing its total funding to $28 million. The round also included North Island Ventures and existing investors. Mural provides tools for managing accounts, payments, identity verification and compliance across banks and blockchains, with customers such as Deel and Opera. The deal reflects Tether's push into agentic finance, where AI systems can execute transactions for people and businesses, and Mural lets firms set transaction limits and require approvals for larger payments. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said that as agents start moving money, connections to banks and payment networks become essential.
- Cost of living blow for united kingdom households as inflation soars again
UK CPI inflation rose to 3.5 percent in September from 3.1 percent in August, its highest in nearly a year and above the 3.4 percent most economists had expected, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Transport was the biggest contributor, as average petrol and diesel prices hit their highest in four years and diesel reached its highest since July 2022. Airfares, computer games and live events also pushed prices up, partly offset by smaller rises in hotel stays. ONS chief economist Grant Fitzner said the cost of raw materials and factory-gate goods kept rising, driven by higher crude oil and petrol prices.
- China GDP beats forecasts as export boom offsets weak demand
China's third-quarter GDP grew 4.5 percent, beating the 4.4 percent forecast and rebounding from three-year lows, while growth for the first nine months reached 4.6 percent. Booming exports offset weak consumer spending and a prolonged property downturn, and analysts expect China to meet its 4.5 to 5.0 percent 2026 target without additional stimulus. Retail sales lagged industrial output, fixed-asset investment fell 7.2 percent in January to September, and unemployment eased to 5.2 percent in September. Exports rose by more than a third, putting China on track to surpass last year's US$1.2 trillion trade surplus, but economists warn about reliance on exports and weak domestic demand. ANZ flagged trade tensions and geopolitical risks, while Societe Generale's Michelle Lam said a policy shift toward household incomes and consumption is needed; the yuan rose to its highest since July 2022.

HoSE liquidity improved markedly, with trading volume above 800 million units and matched value of VND 16,600 billion.

According to BSC, the 2026 profit growth forecast for the surveyed listed companies was raised to 26%, and 2027 is expected at 12%; BSC sees this as an appropriate time to allocate to stocks for medium- and long-term goals.
