The stock market bulletin records notable developments, providing investors with multi-dimensional information about trends and growth potential. Below is a summary of some of the highlights and analysis of the market situation in the form of a bulletin.
Intense selling pressure on key stocks, active buying by both domestic and foreign investors at the bottom.
VHM was pushed down to its floor price with about 5 minutes left before the market close. The sharp declines in the Vin group created a strong psychological effect, forcing selling pressure and causing HoSE liquidity this afternoon to increase by 1.5 times compared to the morning. Notably, foreign investors unexpectedly bought a net of nearly 1,280 billion VND.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impact on: VHM, VIC, VPL, VRE, VCB, BID, GAS, CTG, VJC, MWG
- Assessment: The sharp decline creates short-term buying opportunities for oversold stocks, especially the under-pressure blue-chip stocks. However, the unstable sentiment may persist without clear signs of a reversal. Investors should flexibly restructure their portfolios, prioritizing stocks with stable price bases amidst active bottom-fishing both domestically and internationally.
Selling pressure increased, and the market shifted to a tug-of-war as capital flows diversified.
Following the previous surge, the upward momentum of leading stocks has slowed and become fragmented, especially within the banking sector. The upward momentum of the VN-Index has been significantly affected, and the market breadth confirms a return to a tug-of-war situation.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impact on: VHM, MWG, HDB, VRE, KDH, FRT, VIC, VPL, VCB, BID
- Analysis: The lack of consensus among industry groups has led to narrow-range fluctuations in the index. In the short term, a suitable strategy is to trade stocks with positive technical signals. In the long term, it is necessary to select stocks with strong fundamentals to avoid risks from cash flow fluctuations.
Liquidity is expected to surge in 2026, averaging over 36 trillion VND per trading session.
The average trading volume in 2026 is projected to increase by 25% compared to 2025, reaching approximately 36.4 trillion VND per session, driven by the market upgrade.
- Signal: Positive
- Impact on: KBSV, FTSE, FDI, III, VCI, BSI, VCK, HCM, SSI, TCX
- Analysis: Increased liquidity is a factor reinforcing a sustainable upward trend as large capital inflows are activated. In the short term, widespread activity can be expected across many sectors. However, it is necessary to control investment allocation and set appropriate stop-loss orders to avoid liquidity shocks if expectations are adjusted. A sound strategy is to allocate funds to leading stocks in sectors with high liquidity.
The VN-Index could reach 2,422 points in 2026 under a favorable scenario.
In a positive scenario with market earnings increasing by 18% and a P/E ratio of 18 times, the VN-Index could reach 2,422 points in 2026.
- Signal: Positive
- Impact on: HOSE, FDI, VIC, FTSE
- Assessment: Given this market scenario, long-term profit opportunities are clear. In the short term, investors should accumulate portfolios of stocks with strong fundamentals and driven by good business results. Risk management is necessary through periodic portfolio restructuring based on technical signals and corporate earnings reports.
Gold and silver prices reversed sharply lower due to profit-taking pressure.
The precious metals market fell sharply on January 7th, as investors intensified profit-taking after several consecutive days of strong gains.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impacts: SPDR, ADP, LSEG, CME, PBOC
- Assessment: A correction in gold and silver prices may be necessary to re-establish a reasonable price range after the recent surge. Investors should avoid chasing prices and monitor technical signals confirming a short-term bottom. In the long term, gold remains attractive due to global macroeconomic instability, therefore a phased holding strategy may be considered.
Negative technical signals on the silver chart are causing concern among investors.
The price movements of silver this week, particularly the drop on January 7th, are forming a double-top reversal pattern, raising concerns about a potential downtrend.
- Signal: Neutral
- Affects: KHI, HAI, BCOM, TDS
- Analysis: If the technical reversal pattern is complete, the price of silver may continue to correct towards strong support levels. In the short term, investors should observe from the sidelines. In the long term, accumulating at low discounted prices can still be considered. The sensible strategy is to preserve capital and avoid trading emotionally during periods of negative technical conditions.
The 1.08 trillion VND public investment plan opens up opportunities for infrastructure stocks.
2026 is a peak year for public investment thanks to the projected allocation of 1.08 trillion VND to achieve the GDP growth target of 101% (1% GDP growth rate). Amendments to the Construction Law contribute to accelerating project implementation progress.
- Signal: Positive
- Impact on: KBSV, VCG, HHV, VIII, CTD, BOT
- Assessment: Construction, materials, and BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) businesses will clearly benefit from the wave of public investment disbursements. In the short term, infrastructure stocks may accelerate sharply due to expectations of Q1 business results. In the long term, the potential for sustained growth is high thanks to the prolonged public investment cycle. Investors can increase their holdings following a strategy of "getting ahead of large capital flows.".
US markets retreat slightly from historical highs, oil prices fall above 1%
The US stock market corrected from its historical highs, while oil prices fell by more than 11% as external factors did not significantly alter the outlook for US economic growth.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impact on: CNBC, WTI, SEB, OPEC
- Assessment: International developments indicate a cautious sentiment among investors after a period of strong gains. In the short term, the risk of a correction may spread to the Vietnamese market. However, if oil prices do not fluctuate significantly, domestic oil and gas stocks will remain stable. Investors should closely monitor macroeconomic information to react flexibly.
