The VN-Index gained 68.24 points (about 4%) over the week to close at 1,774.15, snapping a four-week decline, as average trading volume on HoSE reached nearly 712 million shares per session, up 22.2% from the prior week. VIC contributed more than 36.7 points, while STB rose by its 6.86% daily ceiling to 68,500 dong per share, with a market capitalisation of 129,137 billion dong. Foreign investors were net sellers of over 1,000 billion dong for the week, despite net buying of 190 billion dong on 21/10. BSC sees the index entering a sensitive resistance zone of 1,768 - 1,778 points, while VNDIRECT attributed the rally mainly to reactions to third-quarter 2026 results from banking and real estate stocks. Experts also cautioned against FOMO-driven chasing during euphoric sessions.

- Stocks 'in the red' at start of week, VN-Index loses over 14 points
On October 12, the VN-Index fell 14.11 points (0.81%) to 1,720.9, mainly due to selling pressure on large-cap real estate stocks, with VIC alone pulling the index down about 10 points.

- Vietnam Stock Market Week of 19–23/10/2026: Strong Comeback
Vietnam's main indices rose on 23/10, with VN-Index up 0.77% to 1,774.15 points and HNX-Index up 0.62% to 262.7 points. For the week, VN-Index gained 68.24 points (+4%) and HNX-Index added 3.57 points (+1.38%), after an early-week correction near 1,680 points.

- VN-Index gains nearly 47 points
VN-Index rose nearly 47 points to 1,738, its strongest session in half a year, as domestic and foreign investors bought the dip after the RSI fell into oversold territory. On the HCMC exchange, 230 stocks advanced and 16 hit the ceiling price, with real estate leading and Vingroup stocks VIC, VHM and VRE all rising to their daily limit; VIC alone contributed 23.7 points. Trading value reached VND 20,300 billion, the highest in two weeks, and foreign investors turned to net buying after 20 consecutive sessions of selling, buying about VND 2,500 billion and selling about VND 2,300 billion. Analysts said lower deposit rates set by the State Bank could support sentiment, but a clearer improvement in liquidity is needed to confirm a sustained trend reversal.
- Blue-chip stocks disappoint as VN-Index falls below 1,700 points again
VN-Index reversed and fell more than 16 points, or 0.94%, to 1,689 points on October 19, losing the 1,700-point psychological level after briefly topping 1,721 earlier in the session. Pressure came mainly from large caps: VIC fell 3.72% to VND 207,000 per share, taking more than 13 points off the index, while VHM dropped 1.15% to VND 60,300. VCB, VPB and HPG also weighed on the index. Advancers still outnumbered decliners on HoSE, but real estate fell 2.51% and FPT lost 1.89%, while energy rose 1.22%. Trading value reached VND 13,354 billion. Foreign investors were net sellers of about VND 852 billion, led by VCB with over VND 103 billion, while FRT drew net buying of about VND 151 billion.
- Will High Interest Rates Continue to 'Test' the Stock Market?
VN-Index rebounded in the last session of the week to regain the 1,700-point level after four consecutive weeks of declines, but Pinetree analyst Nguyen Tan Phong said there is not yet enough evidence that the market has bottomed. Elevated domestic interest rates, inflation pressure from energy prices, exchange-rate pressure, and net selling of more than VND 3,000 billion by foreign investors on HoSE during the week remain key headwinds. Phong expects a technical rebound early next week, with near-term resistance at 1,715–1,750 points, but liquidity has not improved enough and cash flows may diverge ahead of the Q3 earnings reporting deadline on October 20. SGI Capital warns that prolonged high rates could weigh on bad debt, particularly from real estate loans, while very high margin debt is seen as a major market risk.

- Chip Stocks to Buy After Their Worst Day Since June
The PHLX Semiconductor Index fell 6.7% on Oct. 22, its worst day since June 23, after Lam Research reported record revenue of $8.22 billion but warned that clean-room space and parts shortages would limit chipmakers' ability to meet demand into 2027. Micron expects memory supply to stay tight in 2027 and 2028, yet its stock is down 29% from its June 25 record close. AMD and Marvell are each about 22% below their Oct. 6 closes. The author says all three are worth considering after the drop, with Micron the first to look at because its price seems to reflect a downturn its own outlook does not show. AMD and Marvell carry higher earnings multiples and need their plans to hold up, and a slowdown in AI spending could still hit all three hard.
- Will gold prices keep falling this week?
On the morning of Oct. 26, domestic gold prices kept falling with global prices, as SJC gold bars were quoted at 138.7–141.7 million VND per luong (buy–sell), down 300,000 VND from the weekend. World gold was quoted at $3,986 an ounce, down $7 from the previous morning. In Kitco News' weekly survey, 7 of 17 experts expected prices to fall this week, 4 expected a rise, and 6 saw a sideways move or no clear trend. The article says prices may keep falling in the short term, but buying could emerge once gold drops below $4,000 an ounce.
- Banks pledge to lead and unlock momentum for Southeast Vietnam
A conference titled “Banking sector supporting capital mobilization for Southeast region growth, 2026-2030,” organized by the State Bank of Vietnam with the HCMC People's Committee, saw 18 cooperation agreements aimed at adding resources for key projects in the region. HDBank and Vikki Digital Bank pledged 124,500 billion VND for four projects in HCMC and Dong Nai, excluding their co-financing of Metro lines 4–5, while VietinBank, Agribank, MB and Vietcombank also committed funds to transport, industrial and social housing projects. The SBV said 35 key projects nationwide need about 1.7 quadrillion VND in loans, including 15 in the Southeast needing about 757,000 billion VND, and it has mechanisms to exclude these loans from or add to banks' credit growth quotas. HDBank urged faster land clearance, legal completion and data sharing to shorten appraisal times, and it raised a 721 million USD social loan in 2026.
- Proposal to fine violators up to 3 billion VND, cut off electricity, water and internet
On the morning of Oct. 26, Minister of Public Security Lương Tam Quang submitted to the National Assembly the government's draft amended Law on Handling Administrative Violations, with 6 chapters and 128 articles, raising maximum fines to 1.5 billion VND for individuals and 3 billion VND for organizations. The draft also extends limitation periods to 1–3 years depending on the field, from 1–2 years under the current law, and adds enforcement measures such as suspending exit, sealing premises, cutting electricity and water supply, and suspending internet and telecom services. The minister stressed stricter conditions for these measures to protect rights and avoid affecting uninvolved individuals and organizations. The National Assembly's review committee agreed the law needs comprehensive revision but asked for further review of the extended periods by field and more fundamental remedies than higher fines, and said cutting off electricity, water and internet is aimed at halting violations rather than enforcing penalty decisions, so these provisions need adjustment.
- Gold steadies near 3-mth low as elevated oil prices weigh; Fed meet eyed
Gold held steady in Asian trade on Monday after falling more than 4% last week, at $3,995.42 an ounce. The metal slipped below $4,000 on Friday for the first time since mid-July, mainly due to an oil surge amid elevated Middle East conflict, with Brent up 6.2% last week to its highest weekly close since mid-2022. Higher energy costs could prolong inflation pressures and limit central banks' room to ease policy. Investors widely expect the Fed to keep rates unchanged at its Oct. 27–28 meeting, while CME FedWatch data showed about a 78% probability of a December rate hike. The 10-year US Treasury yield near 5% keeps pressure on non-yielding gold, and the PCE inflation report due Oct. 29 will be the next test for the inflation outlook.
