Nguyễn Duy Linh, CEO of SHS, said that after 30 years, the market capitalisation of stocks on HOSE, HNX and UPCoM exceeded VND 10.57 million billion, equal to 82.3% of estimated 2025 GDP, with average daily trading value near VND 29,300 billion. Securities accounts reached nearly 14.1 million, and the market was upgraded to FTSE Russell's secondary emerging market status on 21 September 2026. Linh said the next phase should focus on quality over scale, including better corporate quality, more efficient capital allocation, and a shift from short-term capital flows to long-term funding. He also stressed the need for more capable intermediary financial institutions.

- 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.

- What Was the First Trading Session of Vietnam's Stock Market Like?
On July 28, 2000, the first trades were executed at the HCMC Securities Trading Center, with only 2 listed stocks, REE and SAM, and 6 member brokerages. The two-hour session matched orders only once, at 11 a.m., with 4,200 shares traded (1,000 REE and 3,200 SAM) worth about VND 70.4 million, and the VN-Index closed at 101.55 points from a base of 100. Buy orders totaled 335,500 shares, far above the volume matched, so the regulator asked REE to help put shares on the market. All orders were recorded on paper and processed manually at the time. HAP and TMS were listed on 4/8/2000, bringing the total to 4 stocks.

- Proposal to allow hospitals to use patents as loan collateral
Deputy Nguyễn Lân Hiếu, director of Bệnh viện Đại học Y Hà Nội, proposed allowing hospitals to use patents and trademarks as capital contributions or loan collateral to strengthen their autonomy. Speaking during the National Assembly's debate on the amended Law on Intellectual Property on November 3, he proposed that changes such as new salt forms, formulations or dosages of known substances not be considered inventive unless they significantly improve treatment efficacy. He also proposed that domestic firms be allowed to file generic drug registrations while the original patent is still valid, as otherwise they could wait 2-3 years after the patent expires before selling. On AI and copyright, he proposed that AI cannot be an author, that doctors and lecturers be authors while hospitals and universities own the rights when state budgets are used, with at least 40-50% of profits shared with authors. Deputy Nguyễn Trung Kiên of Đồng Nai agreed and urged digital platforms to handle copyright infringement notices and promptly remove or block infringing content, noting that blocked sites often reappear under new domains.
- Foreign direct investment pledged to Vietnam highest since 2009
Foreign direct investment (FDI) pledged to Vietnam reached 54.85 billion USD in the first 10 months of 2026, up 74% year on year and the highest for the same period since 2009.

- BlackRock’s IBIT sees biggest Bitcoin ETF outflows since June
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded 405.3 million USD in net outflows on Monday, its largest daily outflow since June 26, as US spot Bitcoin ETFs opened November with 398.6 million USD in net withdrawals, according to Farside Investors. Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) attracted 6.7 million USD, partly offsetting the outflows. The funds had recorded 515 million USD in net outflows in October and about 38 million USD so far in 2026. Bitcoin briefly fell below 76,400 USD, its lowest since August, amid broader volatility following the 6.3 billion USD Binance hack. US spot Ether ETFs also saw about 140 million USD in net outflows, extending their losing streak to six trading days after a record 1.61 billion USD in monthly outflows in October. Brickken CEO Edwin Mata said the outflows should not be read as a rejection of digital assets, as investors reduce exposure when uncertainty rises.
- Vietnam's import-export turnover tops US$1,000 billion for first time, a record high
In the first 10 months of 2026, Vietnam's total goods import-export turnover was a preliminary US$1,010.55 billion, up 32.3% year on year, surpassing US$1,000 billion for the first time and reaching a record high.

The United States was the largest export market at US$159.40 billion, while China was the largest import source at US$212.46 billion. Nguyen Anh Son, Director of the Import-Export Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, attributed the result to a recovery in domestic production, the FDI sector and free trade agreements, and called for better growth quality.
- Nvidia tells data center partners to limit China sales- FT
According to the Financial Times, citing five people familiar with the matter, Nvidia has told its data center partners to reduce their exposure to Chinese customers. Cloud computing clients must now sell at least 51% of their services to non-Chinese companies, a restriction that did not exist before. The instructions were conveyed verbally through Nvidia's sales force and regional teams rather than in writing. The move complicates AI development for Chinese firms that have leased overseas computing capacity, including for model training, as Washington tightens Chinese access to advanced chips through cloud deals. The report also notes that Nvidia chips have been smuggled into China despite U.S. restrictions since at least 2022, and several senior Super Micro employees were charged earlier this year with smuggling about $2.5 billion worth of Nvidia AI servers to China.
