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.
Weak cash flow caused stock prices to plummet, and foreign investors sold net more than 1.2 trillion VND.
Demand weakened significantly as trading volume on the HoSE exchange fell sharply by 22% compared to the previous session. The number of declining stocks outnumbered rising stocks by three times, putting considerable pressure on individual investor sentiment. Although some blue-chip stocks pulled the index up slightly, most small and medium-sized stocks recorded sharp declines.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impact on: VIC, VHM, VPL, VRE, TCB, VJC, FPT, HPG, MSN, VCB
- Assessment: Weakening cash flow and continued net selling by foreign investors are signs that caution is needed for the short-term trend. Blue-chip stocks may be used to maintain the index's level, but they do not reflect the overall market health. In the short term, a defensive strategy and portfolio management should be prioritized. In the long term, investors should observe the recovery of liquidity to identify opportunities for a comeback.
Increased selling pressure ahead of the holiday season pushed the market into a correction phase.
As the holiday season approached, investors intensified selling to protect their gains, causing widespread price declines across the market. A clear outflow of capital was observed, particularly in mid-cap and small-cap stocks. Attention remained focused on VinGroup stocks to maintain the index's momentum.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impact on: VNI, HSX, VIC, VHM
- Assessment: The phenomenon of selling to avoid risk during the holiday is normal and reflects the short-term cautious sentiment of investors. However, this also creates opportunities to accumulate shares at a discount. The sensible strategy at this time is to proactively restructure the portfolio towards stocks with strong fundamentals and room for capital appreciation after the Lunar New Year. Risk management by reducing margin exposure is also a noteworthy recommendation.
The new circular finalizes the conditions for upgrading Vietnam's market status.
Circular 08/2026/TT-BTC was issued to address weaknesses in the payment process and account opening procedures, contributing to meeting the qualitative criteria from international rating organizations such as FTSE Russell. This is an important step that can support the upgrading of the Vietnamese stock market in future assessments.
- Signal: Positive
- Impacts: BTC, FTSE, IFC, SECO, VNCG, ESG, MSCI, FOL, CCP, KBSV
- Assessment: The completion of the legal framework enhances the transparency and professionalism of the Vietnamese stock market. In the short term, this information supports positive sentiment, especially for foreign investors. In the long term, if upgraded, the market will attract significant new capital inflows from global ETFs. Recommendation: Accumulate blue-chip stocks and related groups to ride the upgrade wave.
The S&P 500 index corrected, bitcoin continued to fall, and oil prices surged after regional tensions.
International markets experienced significant volatility. The S&P 500 fell for two consecutive sessions, while the price of Bitcoin dropped to around $72,000/oz. Conversely, WTI oil prices rose by more than 31% following news of escalating tensions with Iran. This reflects investors' reaction to the geopolitical environment and expectations regarding monetary policy.
- Signal: Neutral
- Affects: AMD, CNBC, ADP, WTI, NBC
- Analysis: Volatility in major markets indicates that global risks remain high and unpredictable. In the short term, oil prices may benefit from this information, while cryptocurrencies and US stocks are under pressure to correct. Investors should limit short-term trading and prioritize medium-term positions, especially in defensive sectors.
Gold prices stalled near the $5,100/oz mark due to weakening demand.
Global gold prices showed a slight upward trend but failed to break through the $5,100/oz resistance level, leading to downward pressure towards the end of the session. The continued selling by the SPDR Gold Trust indicates caution among institutional investors regarding the outlook for global interest rate policies.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impact on: SPDR, ADP
- Analysis: Gold is losing its upward momentum amid increasing profit-taking pressure, especially as expectations for US interest rates remain unclear. In the short term, gold risks a correction to the support level of $4,950/oz. Investors should monitor market reaction to determine effective accumulation points. Avoid using leverage during periods of high volatility.
Global demand for gold as an investment has surged despite a decline in jewelry consumption.
The year 2025 saw a sharp increase in global investment gold demand of 841 TP3T, while the jewelry segment declined by 181 TP3T. This shift towards holding safe-haven assets reflects a defensive sentiment in the face of global economic and political uncertainty.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impact on: WGC
- Analysis: The strong inflow of money into gold indicates a growing safe-haven trend, opening up long-term upside potential for the precious metal. However, in the short term, gold prices are unlikely to break out strongly without significant intervention from major central banks. Investors should prioritize appropriate portfolio allocation and closely monitor inflation and geopolitical trends.
Zhongcai recorded a profit of $500 million from short selling silver in China.
The Chinese company Zhongcai capitalized on price fluctuations on the SHFE exchange to short more than 484 tons of silver, profiting approximately $500 million. This event shocked commodity markets and served as a warning about the high volatility of precious metals in the current period.
- Signal: Negative
- Impact on: SHFE, PVC
- Analysis: Zhongcai's large-scale trading could trigger widespread speculative behavior in Asian markets. This increases instability and volatility in silver prices in the coming period. Investors should avoid short-term trading of precious metals at this time and should only participate with a clear strategy and strict risk management. A sharp decline is entirely possible if large short-selling orders continue to appear.
