After a sharp correction in September and October, VN-Index is projected to possibly test the 1,780–1,800 point zone in November under the base scenario, though sector divergence remains a major challenge. Liquidity is still low, at under 16 trillion VND per session across the listed market and just over 15 trillion VND on HOSE, while foreign investors have been net sellers for an extended period. Analysts say earnings results and liquidity will be the two key drivers in November, and a call to cut lending rates by about 1.5–2% per year for production and priority sectors could ease companies' capital costs. A break above 1,780–1,800 with improved liquidity could push the index toward 1,820–1,850, while a pullback to 1,750–1,760, or even 1,700–1,720 if support fails, is also possible; 1,880–1,900 is the optimistic scenario.

- Stock market awaits boost from trading infrastructure
SGI Capital says Vietnam's macro picture after the first three quarters of 2026 still shows bright spots, but the stock market enters the fourth quarter facing two risks: policy pressure and liquidity risk from margin leverage. After the FTSE upgrade, trading liquidity fell below VND 15,000 billion per session and foreign investors turned to heavy net selling, driven by fears of rising global inflation and interest rates. Margin debt at a historically high level is seen as a risk that could trigger forced-sale pressure as cash demand rises in the fourth quarter. Longer term, Circular 145/2026/TT-BTC, effective 16/11/2026, introduces CCP clearing and removes the 100% cash pre-funding (NPF) requirement for foreign institutional investors, which Hàn Hữu Hậu, CEO of Hy Maxpro, called an important upgrade.
- Why have many stocks fallen deeply even though the VN-Index has not broken its October low?
The VN-Index closed October 2026 at 1,741.62 points, down about 27 points from end-September, its second consecutive monthly decline; in the last week of the month it lost 32.53 points (1.83%). The drop was modest, but only tourism and Vingroup-linked stocks moved against the trend that week, while technology fell 7.5% and logistics 6.7%. Excluding Vingroup's support, the rest of the market has already dropped below its October low. October average trading value was 17,183 billion VND, the lowest monthly level of the year, while foreign investors net sold 20,848 billion VND during the month. The article argues that recovery depends on broad-based cash flow returning, not just on index price levels.
- Weekly Derivatives Report 02-06/11/2026: Overall Market Liquidity Continues to Decline
VN30 and VN100 index futures fell across the board on Oct. 30, 2026, with the VN30-Index closing at 1,855.04 points after a second straight daily decline on below-average volume. For the week of Oct. 26-30, derivatives trading volume fell 14.86% and value fell 14.08% from the prior week. Foreign investors were net sellers of 5,163 contracts over the week. The article says the VN30-Index remains below the middle line of the Bollinger Bands and the Stochastic Oscillator has crossed below its signal line, so short-term prospects would keep weakening without improvement.
- Market Pulse 30/10: Red Dominates
At midday on October 30, the VN-Index fell more than 25 points (-1.44%) to 1,730.35, while the HNX-Index dropped 0.96% to 254.14. Breadth tilted sharply toward sellers, with 420 decliners, 218 gainers and 904 unchanged stocks, and HOSE liquidity fell 32.98% from the previous session to 5.4 trillion VND. Real estate was the main drag as VIC fell 2.9% and VHM 2.42%, and these two alone pulled the index down 13.75 points, out of 19.21 points from the 10 most negative stocks. Foreign investors net sold VND 394.9 billion across the three exchanges, led by VIC at VND 186.91 billion, while VCB led net buying at VND 24.28 billion.
- Margin lending relative to market capitalization hits a new record: what is happening?
Total lending at securities firms, including margin loans and advances on sales, is estimated at about VND 455,000 billion at the end of Q3/2026, up VND 10,000 billion from the previous quarter, equal to roughly 5.1% of the market capitalization of the two exchanges and the highest level in history. Meanwhile, HoSE's matched trading value averaged only over VND 13,403 billion per session in September, down more than 60% year on year, and the VN-Index fell nearly 4.7% in Q3. Bùi Văn Huy, General Director of FIDT, says most margin balances are likely in bespoke “deal” loans where shares serve as collateral, though public data cannot precisely determine the share. Balances are concentrated among 18 securities firms with lending above VND 10,000 billion, about two-thirds of which have bank backing. The article also notes that margin balances have grown roughly in line with foreign investors' cumulative net selling of about VND 350,000 billion over roughly the past five years.
- Market upgrade: why are cheaply valued stocks still not attractive enough?
FTSE Russell has upgraded Vietnam’s stock market to secondary emerging market status, yet foreign capital has not yet been deployed strongly despite many stocks having attractive valuations. According to Ms. Đỗ Minh Trang of ACBS, Vietnamese stocks will join the FTSE EM index over a one-year schedule, with 10% of capital deployed by September 2026, then 15%, 30% and 35% in March, June and September 2027. Average deposit and lending rates in the first three quarters rose about 1.3 and 1.1 percentage points respectively versus 2025, pressuring profits, particularly for banks whose Q3 results were less positive than Q2. Ms. Trang forecasts the VN-Index could range between 1,700 and 1,900 points through end-2026, with opportunities in banking, oil and gas, insurance, power and ports, but careful stock selection is needed.

- Gold price today 3/11: Rising again after leaving 3-month low
On the morning of 3/11, SJC, Bảo Tín Mạnh Hải and PNJ bar gold was quoted at 138.2–141.2 million dong per lượng (buy–sell), up 1.2 million dong per lượng. Ring gold rose 700,000 to 1.5 million dong per lượng, the second straight session of gains after leaving a 3-month low. On Kitco, world gold was at 3,945 USD/ounce, up 71 USD from the same time yesterday, supported as crude oil fell more than 4%, easing inflation worries and reinforcing expectations that the Fed does not need to tighten too hard. A weaker USD and US Treasury yields also fuelled bottom-fishing buying, but tensions in the Gulf, persistent inflation and the possibility of further Fed tightening still weigh on the outlook. The article says it is too early to confirm the rebound as a sustained recovery trend.
- Inside FPT's chip testing and packaging plant just put into operation
FPT has put its chip testing and packaging plant into trial operation in Yên Phong II-C Industrial Park, Bắc Ninh. The 1,600 m² facility has 06 production lines and a maximum design capacity of 300 million chips per year. It follows ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards, with cleanroom controls under ISO 14644, and uses automated ATE Testers and Handlers to test and sort chips. In the initial phase it focuses on function, quality and reliability testing for domestic and international semiconductor firms, with a first order from a South Korean partner expected. From December 2026, the plant will also run a pilot program with FPT Polytechnic College to give students hands-on access to real chip testing lines.
- US wants to bring Russian gas back to EU via Ukraine, Moscow immediately says: 'Cannot be done'
The Kremlin said a reported US plan to restore Russian gas flows to Europe via Ukraine cannot be carried out under current conditions, though it did not rule out resumption in the future. According to the Wall Street Journal, Washington wants to revive the route as part of a deal halting attacks on energy infrastructure, with gas sold through a US intermediary to get around European sanctions, and Ukraine would collect transit fees. Transit through Ukraine ended on January 1, 2025, after Kiev did not renew its five-year deal with Moscow. Meanwhile, the EU has rejected large-scale purchases of Russian gas and aims to end imports entirely by end-2027, while regional gas prices have reached their highest level in nearly four years.
- Australia hikes rates to 18-year high to fight inflation
The Reserve Bank of Australia raised its cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.85% on Tuesday, its highest level since November 2008 and in line with Reuters poll expectations. It was the fifth rate hike this year. Consumer prices rose 4.3% in September, up from 4% in August and the highest since March. RBA Governor Michelle Bullock said inflation is “too high”, driven by higher oil prices from the Iran War and stronger domestic spending, and that more hikes could come “if that's what's needed to get inflation down.” GDP grew 2.1% in the June quarter from a year earlier, slowing from 2.5% in March, and Bullock said a recession is “not our base case at the moment.”
- Statement by the Monetary Policy Board: Monetary Policy Decision
The RBA Board raised the cash rate target by 25 basis points to 4.85 per cent, saying inflation remains elevated and broadly based. The inflation outlook was revised materially higher, partly due to fuel and commodity prices affected by the Middle East conflict, with domestic capacity pressures slightly tighter than thought. Inflation is now forecast to stay elevated through much of 2027 and reach the top of the 2–3 per cent target range only in late 2027, about three quarters later than before. The economy is slowing, housing prices have fallen significantly and unemployment has risen. The decision was by majority: six members voted to raise, while three voted to hold at 4.60 per cent.
- Nvidia stock and 2 US growth stocks facing a Treasury yield reset
The article argues that shifts in US Treasury issuance are reshaping growth stock valuations through long-term yields, and profiles three large-cap stocks: Monolithic Power Systems (revenue about US$3.7b, market cap US$59.1b), NVIDIA (sales about US$303b, market cap US$4,941.4b) and Snowflake (revenue about US$5.4b, market cap US$107.9b). Monolithic Power Systems' data center-related exposure approaches roughly 50% of revenue, and management now sets a floor of 130% year-over-year growth in Enterprise Data. NVIDIA is described as an AI engine whose valuation is sensitive to long-term interest rates, while Snowflake recently announced a roughly $6b compute deal with AWS over the next 5 years.
