The VN-Index fell in four of the five sessions of the week, closing the 30/10 session down 0.8% at 1,741.62 points and losing 32.53 points (-1.83%) over the week. The HNX-Index dropped 9.96 points (-3.79%) over the week to 252.74 points at the last session. Liquidity did not improve and cash flow lacked consensus, so large-cap stocks VCB, TCB and MBB pulled the index down by a combined 3.48 points, while VHM and GAS added 2.63 points. Materials was the weakest sector, and foreign investors were net sellers of over 2.6 trillion VND across both exchanges; SGN was the top weekly gainer at +16.73%, while PVP fell 14.15%.

- Stocks Face Challenges in November: Where Will Cash Flow Find Opportunities?
VN-Index fell 32.53 points (1.83%) in the last week of October to 1,741.62, after four down sessions, while HNX-Index dropped 1.48% to 252.74, and liquidity declined on both exchanges. Cash flow has become more selective and concentrated in a few stocks with their own stories, while foreign investors continued net selling. CSI Securities expects VN-Index to fill the gap around 1,740 points, while TPS believes the short-term uptrend has not been broken. Banks are seen as a key support, with TCB, HDB, VPB, CTG and TPB among the stocks some experts highlight for November. Circular 145/2026/TT-BTC takes effect on November 16, 2026, and requires collateral for securities loans of at least 110% of the loan value.
- Vietstock Daily 29/10/2026: Need more momentum?
VN-Index rose 0.27% to 1,766.65 points in the October 28, 2026 session, while HNX gained 0.14% to 259.86 points; HOSE trading volume rose 9.3% but stayed below its 20-session average. Foreign investors net sold over VND 267 billion on HOSE but net bought over VND 15 billion on HNX. Banks such as HDB (+3.86%) and VCB (+2.5%) supported the index, while FPT (-2.53%) faced the heaviest selling in the IT sector. On technicals, the Stochastic Oscillator and MACD still point upward, but the index needs to clear the 50-day SMA with improving liquidity; on HNX-Index, the gap between the 50-day and 200-day SMAs is narrowing, and a Death Cross would make the outlook weaker.
- Market Pulse, 28/10: Stocks Fluctuate Around Reference Level as Sectors Diverge Clearly
At the midday break, VN-Index stood at 1,762.31 points and HNX-Index at 259.57 points, both hovering near the reference level. Market breadth tilted toward sellers, with 309 stocks declining and 250 advancing. VCB was the most positive contributor to the index at 1.76 points, while VHM, VPB and VIC together pulled it down by 1.57 points. Foreign investors net sold VND 263.79 billion across all three exchanges, mainly FPT (VND 125.6 billion) and VPL (VND 64.49 billion), while TCB led net buying at VND 65.79 billion.
- Vietstock Daily 27/10/2026: Caution Returns?

Trading volume on HOSE fell 19% to nearly 519 million units, while foreign investors were net sellers of over VND 892 billion on the exchange. Banks exerted the greatest pressure, accounting for 8 of the top 10 stocks with the most negative impact and removing nearly 6 points from VN-Index; VN30-Index lost 17.56 points (-0.92%). Technically, VN-Index retested its 50-day SMA on volume below its 20-day average, while MACD kept its upward momentum after crossing above the signal line; HNX-Index is retesting the middle line of its Bollinger Bands and oscillating sideways.

Large-cap stocks supported the index, with VIC adding nearly 6 points and STB hitting the ceiling price, although market breadth remained narrow with 144 gainers and 156 decliners on HoSE. Foreign investors net sold nearly VND 470 billion, mainly of ACB, but net bought about VND 152 billion of TCB. The article notes that news of Nguyễn Đức Thụy being nominated for VFF chairman was not the direct cause of STB's ceiling gain.

Latest news
- The U.S. Labor Market Just Delivered Its Strongest Signal in 57 Years. But There's a Catch.
New initial jobless claims rose slightly to 194,000 in mid-October from 189,000 in mid-July, a level that remains historically low. Employers added only 29,000 jobs in September, pushing the 12-month rolling average to 45,000, so layoffs are rare but hiring is also weak. The 4.2% unemployment rate suggests full employment; the article points to AI investment making companies hesitant to add staff and tighter immigration policies encouraging them to keep current workers. With claims not trending higher, the author sees no sign of an imminent recession, and consumers still spend despite inflation well above 3%. Consumer discretionary stocks are down 3% year to date, and the author argues stocks have support while claims stay low, but a slowdown in earnings growth tied to the AI boom could cause a quick S&P 500 pullback.
- Will AI Answers Become as Winner-Take-All as Google? – Uneasy Money
Kain Warwick, Austin Griffith and Taylor Monahan of the Uneasy Money podcast argue AI answers may become winner-take-all like Google search, since companies cannot yet buy their way into model weights the way they buy an ad slot. Taylor Monahan cites AI models repeatedly directing users with bug bounty disputes to SEAL 911, even though it does not mediate bounties, and calls such AI SEO an easy monetization point.
- OpenAI pares fundraising goal, now seeking up to $20 billion in latest round
OpenAI is seeking up to $20 billion in a new funding round, down from an earlier target of up to $30 billion, according to CNBC; the round has not closed, so figures may change. The Financial Times reported the target was cut by $10 billion and that OpenAI would seek a post-money valuation of $1.25 trillion, with some investors reducing their allocations. Investors from the United Arab Emirates are leading the round alongside Coatue. The move follows a week in which investors questioned whether big tech's AI spending will deliver adequate returns, and AI-linked stocks fell, with Intel down 25% on weak revenue guidance, Micron down 5.5% and Nvidia down 4%. Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon all issued capex figures or forecasts last week below analysts' estimates, and Alphabet had its worst trading day ever after search revenue fell short of expectations.
- Boeing Stock Slumps Again; Time to Buy or Throw in the Towel?
Boeing shares fell again after management cut its outlook, with the 737 MAX production ramp-up delayed by up to a year and free cash flow (FCF) forecasts below consensus. FCF is projected at $2 billion in 2026, $3 billion in 2027, $6 billion in 2028 and $10 billion in 2029, versus Visible Alpha consensus of $5.3 billion, $9.5 billion and $12.4 billion for 2027–2029. The 777X certification, expected by mid-2027, followed by first delivery, is a major risk, as delays would keep more cash tied up in undelivered aircraft. The author estimates that if Boeing reaches $10 billion in FCF in 2029 and trades at 20 times FCF, the share price would be about $252, an annual return of 14.4% to 2029, and considers management's 2027–2029 production targets conservative. The author says the stock looks attractive after the reset if production targets are met, though volatility is likely, and points to a $745 billion backlog.
- 3 Numbers to Watch to Know if Meta Platforms' AI Spending Is Paying Off
Meta plans $135 billion to $145 billion in capital expenditures (capex) for 2026 on AI, while its Q3 2026 operating margin fell to 20% from 40% a year earlier and free cash flow was negative $2.1 billion. The article highlights three metrics: advertising revenue, which rose 25.9% year over year on 10% higher impressions and 14% higher pricing; the Muse AI agent, which reached 10 million monthly users in the U.S. and Canada about a month and a half after its September 8 launch, with 25% using it daily; and operating cash flow, which rose 21.7% over the first nine months of 2026 but lagged the 72% rise in capex. The author notes Meta plans to raise almost $100 billion in equity capital to fund its AI build-out, and says investors will need patience for the payoff.
