VN-Index rose 21.96 points (1.26%) to 1,760.63 in the 22 October session, extending its recovery after two straight gains. Breadth was weak, with 164 stocks falling and 147 rising on HoSE, and liquidity dropped nearly 25% to about VND 15,300 billion, suggesting money flow has not spread evenly. The main support came from Vingroup stocks VIC (+4.16%) and VHM (+3.56%), which together contributed about 19.4 points, while many bank stocks and FPT declined. Foreign investors net bought for a second straight session, about VND 335 billion, though FPT saw net selling of over VND 264 billion. The article says an index gain does not mean all portfolios rose, so investors need to watch market breadth.

- FPT: Rebirth or Miscalculation?
- Foreign investors record longest net-selling streak in two years
Foreign investors net sold more than VND 770 billion today, extending a 16-session selling streak with a total outflow of about VND 22,800 billion (US$900 million), the longest such run since 2024. Year to date, they have withdrawn VND 116,000 billion (US$4.5 billion), close to the record US$5.1 billion sold across the market last year, and their ownership on the HCMC exchange has fallen to about 13% from 15% a year earlier. Experts attribute the outflows mainly to opportunity costs and global capital shifting toward markets with stronger earnings growth, along with active funds taking profits to rebalance after buying ahead of the market upgrade. The VN-Index fell for six straight sessions to close at 1,704 points, and some analysts warn it could slip toward the 1,680 zone. Observers expect roughly US$2.7 billion in passive FTSE Russell-tracking inflows to be disbursed next year, which could halt the outflow trend.
- FPT Shareholders' Bitter Streak: 3 Weeks Without a Green Session as Shares Hit 3-Year Low
FPT shares have not closed in the green since September 23, and on October 13 they fell 1.4% to 56,300 dong, their lowest close since early November 2023, as foreign investors net sold about 107 billion dong. Since the last gain on September 22, the stock has lost 10,300 dong per share, nearly 16%, cutting market capitalization by more than 19,400 billion dong to about 106,200 billion dong. Year to date, foreign investors have net sold about 188 million shares worth over 15,200 billion dong, leaving foreign room near 21%. BSC warns FPT could fail to meet the criteria to remain in the VN-Diamond basket if foreign ownership does not improve. Meanwhile, pre-tax profit for the first 8 months rose 17.5% to 7,648 billion dong, a contrast with the share price trend.
- October 13 session: Foreign investors extend net selling to nearly VND 500 billion, heavily dumping one bluechip stock
Vietnam's stock market traded weakly in the 13 October session, with matched value of only VND 10,947 billion as demand weakened. Foreign investors net sold VND 468 billion across the market, including VND 434 billion on HoSE, where FPT was the heaviest net-sold stock at about VND 107 billion, followed by GMD, MSB, VPB and TCB. On the buying side, HDB led with net purchases of about VND 44 billion, followed by PNJ, VHM, BSR and DGW. On HNX and UPCoM, foreign investors net sold VND 24 billion and VND 10 billion respectively.
- Behind Vingroup's appeal: The lead bird driving Vietnam's stock market
Vingroup (VIC) shares rose more than 11% over two consecutive sessions, adding over 40 points to the VN-Index, while the Vingroup group (VIC, VHM, VPL, VRE) contributed 54 points, or 80% of the index's gain over those two sessions. On October 22 alone, foreign investors net bought VND 240 billion of VIC, the largest on the exchange, and VND 160 billion of VHM. This inflow follows FTSE Russell's upgrade of Vietnam to secondary emerging market status from September 21, with emerging-market ETFs potentially investing over USD 2 billion through September 2027, nearly USD 1 billion of which could go to VIC and VHM. The article also cites private-sector growth prospects, the government's goal of double-digit GDP growth for 2026–2030, and State Bank of Vietnam measures to lower lending and deposit rates as supportive factors for large conglomerates like Vingroup.
- Two bank stocks heavily accumulated by securities firms' proprietary desks during the rally

VCB drew the biggest net buying at VND 126 billion, followed by VPB (VND 69 billion) and GAS (VND 68 billion). On the sell side, proprietary desks net sold VND 162 billion of HDB and VND 29 billion of FPT.

- Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know
Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.
- CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?
Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.
- Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates
ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.
- Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election
Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.
- Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'
Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.
- Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues
Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter. Early clients include quant funds, market makers, asset managers and bank trading desks, which use the data to assess liquidity and compare prices, though Dune did not name them. Meanwhile, the tokenized stock market has grown sharply, with distributed value reaching $3.58 billion, but 16 companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have objected to their shares being traded on OKXICE’s proposed platform, and liquidity remains fragmented.
