Since FTSE Russell upgraded Vietnam to secondary emerging market status on September 21, foreign investors have net sold nearly VND 30,000 billion on HoSE over about a month and a half, with only 3 of 32 trading sessions seeing no net selling, and year-to-date net selling reached nearly VND 121,000 billion as of November 3. The VN-Index has dropped more than 116 points (over 6%) since the upgrade, while average HoSE trading value has fallen to about VND 13,000 billion per session, one-third of a year earlier, as domestic cash flow stays thin amid high interest rates. The article remains optimistic on long-term prospects, citing stable macroeconomics, rising corporate earnings and a P/E near 12, and says foreign inflows could reverse soon.

- Foreign investors just pulled nearly USD 1 billion out of Vietnam's stock market
Foreign investors net sold about 930 million USD (over 24,000 billion VND) on the HCMC exchange in October, the highest monthly level this year, bringing year-to-date net selling to 4.7 billion USD, close to last year's record of 125,000 billion VND. They bought about 38,000 billion VND but sold nearly 62,000 billion VND during the month, a 20-session net-selling streak that is the longest in two years; Masan Consumer (MCH) faced the heaviest selling, with a single-session net outflow of nearly 10,000 billion VND. Analysts cite three reasons: global capital rotating out of emerging markets toward growth stories such as US, Japanese and Chinese technology stocks; high global interest rates making Vietnamese stock returns less competitive; and mismatched fund trading, with passive funds deploying about 220 million USD before the upgrade took effect while active funds took profit after buying months earlier. Tien Phong Securities Company (TPS) believes the strongest outflow may be over, but net selling is unlikely to end soon given elevated US Treasury yields, continued Fed tightening and a strong US dollar. Most experts say foreign trading trends could shift from mid-2027, while some
- Foreign investors dump nearly 500 billion dong of two bank stocks in the Nov. 3 session
Foreign investors net sold about 496 billion dong of stocks across the market in the Nov. 3 session, as the VN-Index fell 11 points to 1,699 with HoSE trading value near 13,000 billion dong. On HoSE, foreigners net sold 500 billion dong, led by bank stocks MBB (254 billion dong) and VCB (219 billion dong), and VIC (114 billion dong). HPG was the top net-bought stock on HoSE at over 227 billion dong, followed by SHB and VHM at 125 billion and 119 billion dong. On HNX, foreigners net bought 7 billion dong, led by MBS, while on UPCOM they net sold 2.5 billion dong. Market sentiment remained cautious, with the index swinging sharply during the session.
- Billions of USD unexpectedly leave US stocks, expert warns of one thing for Vietnamese stocks
Global equity funds drew net inflows for a sixth straight week, totaling over $10 billion, though the pace slowed sharply from $25 billion the previous week. Flows diverged, with US equity funds seeing $6.65 billion in outflows, while Asian equity funds attracted nearly $10 billion and emerging-market funds added $2.2 billion. ABS analyst Nguyễn Thế Minh said this shift is a favorable signal for Vietnam's stock market, though its ability to capture the inflows depends on foreign trading activity, market attractiveness and corporate earnings outlook. On seasonality, the VN-Index has averaged a 2% gain in November over 2000–2025, with a 54% chance of rising, but the expert said this should serve only as a reference. The article stresses that a sustainable recovery requires improved cash flow and corporate earnings, amid high valuations and signs of a slowing US economy.
- Foreign investors dump nearly $1 billion of Vietnamese stocks in October in 20 straight net-selling sessions
Foreign investors net sold more than VND 24,000 billion (nearly US$1 billion) on HoSE in October 2026, nearly five times September's VND 4,844 billion and the heaviest monthly net selling in 13 months. Over 22 sessions, they were net sellers on 20 days, extending a run of 20 straight net-selling sessions from September 23 to October 20. Selling pressure centred on Masan Consumer (MCH), with about VND 9,602 billion net sold, mainly from a negotiated transfer of more than 64.2 million shares on October 9; excluding MCH, net selling was still about VND 14,400 billion. Year to date through October, foreign investors had net sold nearly VND 122,000 billion on HoSE, close to the record VND 125,000 billion set in all of 2025. The article attributes the trend to global capital favouring markets with more attractive earnings growth stories, high international bond yields and fund rebalancing, as well as a mismatch between passive funds buying ahead of an upgrade and active funds realising gains.
- Weekly review: VN-Index 'gives back' points as cash flow retreats to defensive stocks
The VN-Index lost 32.53 points (1.83%) to close the 26–30 October week at 1,741.62, reversing the roughly 4% (over 68 points) gain of the prior week, with red dominating 4 of 5 sessions. HOSE trading volume fell 9.9% week-on-week, while foreign investors net sold VND 2,692 billion, led by FPT at VND 782 billion. PNJ slid 3.43% to VND 15,500 after reporting a Q3 after-tax loss of VND 258 billion, and MBS announced a margin-related sale of 2.17 million PNJ shares held by the daughter of the chairwoman. BSC sees 1,735 points as a key support level, while SHS says investment opportunities remain limited and prioritises risk control over expanding positions. Dominic Scriven of Dragon Capital says upgrading the market's status is key to attracting international capital as large inflows shift toward technology and AI.
- Foreign investors net sell nearly VND 3,000 billion in last week of October, FPT hit hardest
Foreign investors net sold VND 2,692 billion over the five sessions of the last week of October, while the VN-Index fell 32.53 points (-1.83%) to close at 1,741.62. FPT was the most heavily net-sold stock at VND 782 billion, followed by VPL (VND 353 billion) and VIC (VND 287 billion), while GMD, SSI and BID also saw net selling above VND 100 billion. On the other side, MSN led net buying at VND 172.66 billion, followed by VCB (VND 123.25 billion) and TCB (VND 97.73 billion). Trading liquidity in every session of the week stayed below the 20-session average, reflecting a wait-and-see stance from cash flows.

- Elon Musk’s Tesla and SpaceX Block Their Stock From OKX-ICE Tokenized Venue
Six more companies, including Amazon, Tesla, SpaceX, Netflix, Lam Research and SoFi Technologies, have objected to OKXICE TSV trading their shares, according to an updated notice dated Nov. 2. The total has risen to 56, from nine on Oct. 15 and 50 in the Oct. 30 notice. Under the SEC's innovation exemption, a timely written objection bars the venue from listing a third-party tokenized version of that stock, though the objection applies only to that venue. Apple is one of the few megacap names still not on the list, and the venue can still list shares that issuers tokenize themselves.

- AMD and Sandisk Both Suffered Massive Price Swings But Sandisk is Absolutely Riskier
Sandisk fell 37.49% and AMD dropped 26.36% over the past month despite strong earnings. Sandisk's fiscal Q1 2027 revenue reached $11.03B, up 377.9% year over year, largely driven by higher pricing, while AMD's revenue rose 50.1% to $11.54B, with Data Center making up 58% of the total. The author argues Sandisk carries more risk because it sells a single NAND product through a joint venture with Kioxia, its margins could reverse quickly, and consumer revenue fell 29% sequentially. AMD's broader product mix and multi-gigawatt AI deals are seen as easier to absorb a downturn, though its P/E near 176 leaves little room for error.
- Nvidia Is Extremely Compelling Right Now And Here’s Why
NVIDIA shares fell 13.63% over the past month to $202.06, even though revenue roughly doubled. Q2 fiscal 2027 revenue reached $96.22B, up 105.8% year over year, with non-GAAP EPS of $2.22 versus the $2.09 consensus, and Q3 revenue is guided to $108.0B, plus or minus 2%. The author says the stock trades at about 22 times the fiscal 2027 EPS consensus of $9.3124 and about 13 times the fiscal 2028 consensus of $15.9146, and that analysts made 7 upward revisions and no downward ones in 30 days. Risks include $279B of supply obligations, days sales outstanding rising to 60 from 45, and Q3 guidance that assumes no Data Center compute revenue from China. The author says they will continue accumulating on dips while estimates rise.
- Investors Are Beginning to Say That Meta Is The Best Buy And Hold Stock Through 2030
Meta shares fell 16.67% over the past month to $606.73, as a $9.89B settlement with 52 state attorneys general over teen mental health claims pulled GAAP EPS to $3.83 against a $5.70 consensus; without the charge, EPS would have been $7.40. Revenue rose 26.1% to $64.60B, with ad impressions up 10% and average price per ad up 14%. Meta plans $135B to $145B in 2026 capex, third-quarter free cash flow turned negative at $2.12B, and operating margin fell to 20% from 40%. The average analyst target is $848.38, implying 39.8% upside. The author argues the long-term case through 2030 depends on ad growth and Muse, which signed up more than 10 million users in about a month and a half.
- XAU Resources Announces Planned Soil Sampling Program at the Noseno Gold Project, Guyana, Following Airborne Geophysics Interpretation
XAU Resources (TSXV: GIG) plans to start a field exploration program in early November 2026 on the Noseno gold property in northwest Guyana, where it holds an option to acquire 100%. The first stage is a soil sampling campaign of approximately 790 samples over 39 line-km in the core of Target Area 1, part of a planned program of about 4,325 samples over two priority areas. Interpretation of 5,247 line-km of airborne magnetic and radiometric data, acquired in 1994 and covering 865 km², identified a major NW-SE structure and at least two interpreted intrusive bodies, which the company considers prospective targets. Selective grab samples from an artisanal working near the historical Williams prospect returned 51.55 g/t Au and 6.13 g/t Au from quartz veins, though the company notes these are not necessarily representative of mineralization on the property. The company could not independently verify the original 1994 data, so the airborne interpretation is indicative only and requires ground verification.
