In October alone, net selling exceeded VND 24 trillion, led by MCH at VND 9.6 trillion and HDB at nearly VND 3.4 trillion, with most MSN and HDB trades being negotiated deals with domestic investors. The VN-Index closed October at 1,741.62 points, down 1.5% for the month, while on HNX foreigners net sold nearly VND 139 billion in October, though year-to-date net buying remains positive at nearly VND 564 billion. OCBS expects foreign investors to keep trading cautiously in November, while Kirin estimates passive funds could deploy USD 2.2-2.4 billion over the next year, mostly in 2027.

- 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.
- How can Vietnam turn 13.7 million trading accounts into long-term capital flows?
Vietnam has about 13.7 million securities accounts but only around 100 funds, compared with nearly 5,000 public funds in South Korea as of end-September 2026. Hyun Dong-sik, Chairman of the Members' Council of KIM Vietnam Fund Management Co., says FTSE Russell's upgrade to secondary emerging market status is a necessary condition to attract foreign capital, while sustainable growth requires suitable products such as regular fund investing and wider distribution through banks. After South Korea's tech bubble burst and the KOSDAQ fell over 80%, regular fund investing became popular from 2004, and regular fund accounts exceeded 13 million by the end of 2007. He argues that income is no longer a major barrier for Vietnam, where GDP per capita has passed 5,000 USD.
- “Shark” with over VND 23,000 billion sells millions of shares, still holds nearly 8% of company
Finnish fund PYN Elite Fund sold 1,038,000 DSE shares of DNSE Securities through order matching on the October 20, 2026 session, reducing its stake from 8.2% to 7.95% of charter capital and leaving it with over 34.06 million shares. DSE closed October 27 at VND 19,900 per share, making the shares sold worth about VND 2 billion and the remaining stake worth about VND 678 billion. Managed by Petri Deryng, the fund has over 27 years of experience in Asian markets and has invested in Vietnam since 2013, with assets under management of about €805 million (over VND 23,400 billion) as of its September report. The fund fell 6.34% in September versus a 3.5% drop in VN-Index and is down 12.67% year to date, with its largest holdings being STB (18.2%), HPG (14.3%) and MWG (10.2%). The fund still holds a positive long-term view of Vietnam's stock market, arguing that recent price declines have not fully reflected the underlying fundamentals.
- 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.
- A 'Hot' Stock Sees Over VND 350 Billion in Foreign Net Selling in the Week's Final Session
Foreign investors net sold about VND 641 billion of shares across the market in the October 30 session, including VND 633 billion on HOSE. The VN-Index fell 14 points to 1,741 points after sharp swings, with HOSE liquidity exceeding VND 14,600 billion. VIC was the most net-sold stock on HOSE at VND 353 billion, followed by TCB (VND 133 billion) and MBB (VND 43 billion). In contrast, VHM was the most net-bought with over VND 69 billion, followed by VCB (VND 37 billion) and VJC (VND 31 billion). On HNX, foreign investors net bought VND 5 billion, led by TNG at VND 7 billion, while on UPCOM they net sold VND 13 billion, mainly QNS at VND 13 billion.
- Foreign investors net sell over 900 billion VND
Foreign investors net sold about 908 billion VND in the second straight session, the highest level in half a month, pushing the VN-Index down nearly 11 points to 1,763.5 points. FPT saw the heaviest net selling at 258 billion VND, while other tickers saw sales of only tens of billions each, and foreign buying in MSN, TCB and VIC was modest. Johan Nyvene, chairman of HSC, said capital allocation depends on investor sentiment, economic and political conditions and expected returns relative to risk, and that the market upgrade is a long-prepared roadmap rather than an overnight change. On HoSE, 203 stocks fell against 97 that rose, and total trading value dropped more than 20% to about 13,500 billion VND, reflecting caution. VCBS said cash flow remains fragmented and concentrated in large-caps, while BSI noted investors should avoid raising exposure too quickly before the trend is confirmed.

- Deputy Governor Pham Thanh Ha: SBV Strongly Implementing Measures to Reduce Interest Rate Levels
Deputy Governor Pham Thanh Ha said the SBV will actively manage liquidity and supply capital to the market to support lower interest rates, amid high credit demand and global inflation pressure on rates. The SBV has asked credit institutions to cut deposit rates by 0.5-1% per year for new deposits with terms of 6 months or more and to reduce lending rates by 1.5-2% for production, business and priority sectors. Banks have uniformly cut listed rates by 0.5% per year, actual deposit rates fell about 0.4%, and new loan rates fell 0.2-0.5% compared with early October. More than 20 banks have announced preferential credit programs, and the SBV recently launched a 6-month FX-to-VND swap tool.
- Democrats win US House to secure control of Congress in midterms
Democrats have won control of both chambers of Congress in the midterms, winning House seats in districts where Trump beat his Democratic opponent by up to 18 percentage points in 2024. They also flipped at least seven Senate seats in Kansas, Iowa, Texas, Ohio, Maine, North Carolina and South Carolina, according to the Associated Press. From January 2027 they will take control of House committees, allowing subpoenas and investigations into the Trump administration and his family's business interests, which could reshape the outlook for crypto legislation and bring greater scrutiny of Trump-linked digital asset businesses. Commentators cited affordability, including high energy costs and renewed rate increases, as the defining issue, while David Gokhshtein blamed Republican candidates for failing to connect with voters. Prediction markets had put the chance of Democrats winning both chambers at roughly 75% before the results were announced.
- Zcash Is Getting a Major Upgrade in November. Could This Be a Catalyst for Further ZEC Price Gains?
The NU7 upgrade, due around Nov. 5, will cut Zcash's target block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, making confirmations roughly three times faster, although each exchange sets its own confirmation count. It also sends 60% of each block's fees into a network sustainability reserve, with miners keeping 40%, adds per-block limits on shielded transactions, and shuts down the Sprout privacy pool. The main risk is execution, as activation is on a faster schedule than the usual three months and stable mainnet software only launched on Oct. 22; funds left in Sprout would be lost. The author doesn't expect a big price impact, since upgrades are scheduled in advance and Zcash is already up 134% year to date, though a clean switch would be a positive sign.
- Gold, silver and precious metals prices jump, dollar dips as Democrats take control of Congress
Precious metals rallied early Tuesday after vote counting in the U.S. midterms pointed to Democrats winning the House, while the dollar index fell about 0.3%. Spot gold rose 2% to $4,005.40 an ounce and spot silver jumped 4% to $51.68, with platinum up 3.3% and palladium up 3.8%. StoneX's Rhona O'Connell said Democratic control of both chambers could bring fiscal brinkmanship and uncertainty, but gold should find support as rates and the dollar may come under pressure. Gold and silver have lost momentum this year, with gold down more than 7% and silver down almost 28% year to date. Capital.com's Daniela Hathorn said the recovery remains fragile, as restrictive monetary policy limits safe-haven demand and investors may sell metals to raise cash during equity selloffs.
- Democrats Have Retaken the House and Senate -- but There's an Even Bigger Winner Today
According to the Associated Press, Democrats have taken control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and President Trump will work with a Democrat-led Congress starting in early January. The article notes that a divided Congress is unlikely to pass major tax and spending bills, but could complicate debt-ceiling talks in 2027 and raise the risk of a lengthy government shutdown, while Democrats favor stricter AI rules such as limiting data center expansion. Prediction markets put Democratic control at 94% for the House and 77% for the Senate, while UBS assigns a 50% probability to Democrats winning both chambers. Citing Retirement Researcher, the article says the S&P 500 has averaged 16.63% annual gains since 1926 under a Democratic president and a divided Congress, versus 7.33% under a Republican president and a split Congress. The article argues that company operations and innovation, rather than political outcomes, are the main drivers of long-term investor returns.
- Electricity Prices Down 2%, EVN Expects Revenue Loss of Nearly VND 1,600 Billion per Month
EVN says a 2% average electricity price cut combined with a new tariff structure will reduce its revenue by nearly VND 1,600 billion per month, with production customers seeing the largest cut at VND 578.1 billion. Tourist accommodation will save VND 342.6 billion and EV charging VND 53.3 billion, while household customers are expected to see about VND 424.1 billion in monthly reductions. The household tier structure drops from six steps to five; EVN estimates about 98.23% of households using up to 900 kWh per month will pay less, while about 1.77% using more than 900 kWh will pay more. From Monday to Saturday, peak hours shift to 17h30-22h30 and off-peak hours to 0h-6h, so operating schedules and shift planning will directly affect costs for businesses.
