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.

- “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.
- Stock market after upgrade: Can IPOs accelerate and mid-day trading become feasible?
After the market upgrade, Vietnam’s stock market needs better trading infrastructure, more quality supply and stronger IPOs to help raise a target of 5.4 million billion VND in medium- and long-term capital over 2026–2030. Deputy Chairwoman of the State Securities Commission Lê Thị Việt Nga said 10 companies have carried out IPOs since late 2025, raising a total of 60,900 billion VND, more than nine times the 2021–2024 total, with 7 already listed. On mid-day trading, VNX Chairman Lương Hải Sinh said the exchange is still studying the option, which requires careful assessment of technology readiness, operating costs and the burden on securities firms, noting Singapore returned to a trading break in 2017 after continuous trading from 2011. In the first nine months, capital raised through the stock market reached 731,600 billion VND, up 85.6% year on year, and market capitalization exceeded 10.3 million billion VND by end-September.
- Industry Profits Plunge and Investors Lose Money, Yet Securities Firms Earn Heavily From Lending
Industry-wide profit for securities firms in Q3/2026 fell 42% year on year to about VND 11,000 billion, while average matched trading value on HoSE dropped to VND 13,000-14,000 billion per session, less than half of last year's level. In contrast, interest income from lending and receivables across the industry reached a record VND 12,300 billion, up 34% year on year and rising for 11 consecutive quarters. The main drivers were margin lending outstanding of VND 455,000 billion, of which VND 440,000 billion was margin, the highest ever, along with high interest rates. The article notes that this is gross income rather than net income, since firms still bear funding costs for the lending business, and that gains are uneven, with firms backed by banks such as TCBS, VPBankS and ACBS leading.
- Adding Electronic Transaction Rules to the Securities Law
Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn presented the draft amended Securities Law to the National Assembly on October 17, proposing to amend 44 articles, add one and keep 91 unchanged. The draft adds rules ensuring the safety of electronic transactions in securities and allows securities companies to enter contracts with clients in forms permitted under e-transaction law. It also cuts administrative procedures and removes some licensing conditions for custody banks, settlement banks and fund management companies. The Economic and Financial Committee, chaired by Phan Văn Mãi, broadly supports the draft but asks that deregulation be tied to supervisory tools, that controlled pilot testing have clear rules, and that AI and algorithmic trading be overseen.
- High margin debt , weak liquidity put pressure on stock market recovery
Liquidity in Vietnam's stock market fell below VNĐ15 trillion (US$579 million) per session in September, despite the FTSE Russell upgrade to secondary emerging-market status. SGI Capital warns that high margin lending, weak liquidity and rising deposit rates could push more investors out of stocks and trigger a cycle of margin calls if prices keep falling. Once collateral values drop below required thresholds, brokers may demand more collateral or force-sell holdings, which adds supply and pushes prices lower. Foreign investors have resumed net selling since the start of the year, while listed firms continue to need substantial new capital. The impact depends on the composition of margin debt, collateral ratios and investors' ability to add funds, and the fourth quarter typically brings higher liquidity demand.
- Securities firms' proprietary trading net sells nearly VND 300 billion early in the month, bucking heavy buying in one bank stock
Proprietary trading desks of securities firms net sold VND 263 billion on HoSE in the November 2 session, led by MWG with a net sale of VND 180 billion, followed by BID, SSI, HPG and STB. HDB was the strongest net buy at VND 161 billion. The market fell broadly, with 27 of 30 VN30 stocks declining, and the VN-Index closed at 1,710.72 points, down 30.9 points (-1.77%). Foreign investors net sold VND 453 billion across the market. Liquidity improved from the previous session, but cash flow was still insufficient to absorb the heavy supply.

- North Korea denies role in $6.3B Binance hack, points finger at US
Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, denied North Korea's involvement in the $6.3 billion Binance hack and called the US allegations politically motivated. She gave no evidence when suggesting the US could be behind the theft, and also rejected the FBI's blame for the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in February 2025. By contrast, TRM Labs attributed the attack to North Korea's TraderTraitor group with high confidence, while Chainalysis and ZachXBT also linked it to North Korean hackers. ZachXBT said funds stolen in the Binance and Bitget hacks were commingled at the same address after passing through THORChain, and Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said IP addresses were linked to VPN services used by a certain DPRK group.
- Apple's inventory surges 154% as memory chip costs climb
Apple kept stockpiling inventory, especially computer memory, in its fiscal fourth quarter, with inventory rising from $11.09 billion in Q3 to $14.54 billion in Q4, up 31.1% sequentially and 154.3% from $5.72 billion a year earlier. The company forecast a 45%–46% gross margin for the December quarter, largely due to higher memory costs, after posting 47.9% in the September quarter. CEO John Ternus called memory pricing unprecedented and said costs would rise further in the December quarter and beyond, partly offset by earlier price increases on some devices. Manufacturing purchase obligations rose $33 billion from June to the September quarter as Apple works to improve supply. iPad revenue fell 10% year over year to $6.2 billion, below the $6.7 billion analysts expected, which Apple blamed on supply constraints.

- ELEKTROS (OTC:ELEK) Explores Northern New York Lithium Potential Amid Rising U.S. Focus on Critical Mineral Supply
ELEKTROS Inc. (OTC: ELEK) is conducting a preliminary, exploratory review of a hard-rock lithium opportunity in northern New York near the Canadian border, but it has not acquired the property, and no mineral resource, reserve or feasibility study has been independently verified. Possible next steps include confirming property ownership and mineral rights, obtaining independent geological review, examining environmental and permitting requirements, assessing infrastructure and financing, and the company says any move forward will depend on due diligence results. The release cites remarks by President Donald J. Trump on critical minerals at the American Mining Roundtable on August 7, 2026, and by Elon Musk on lithium-ion batteries for energy storage, but both are general and do not refer to ELEKTROS or this property. A Benzinga article dated October 22, 2026 cited an outlook that global lithium demand could more than triple by 2050, which the release notes is not a forecast for ELEKTROS. Separately, the company continues to explore development relationships for its multi-port EV charging patent, though it has not announced a prototype, patent license, customer deployment or revenue
