VN-Index plummeted by 2,251 TP3T, marking a record weekly drop.

Massive selling pressure during the trading session, especially in the afternoon, overwhelmed almost the entire market. The number of declining stocks was 2.7 times greater than the number of rising stocks, and the VN-Index plummeted 2,251 TP3T, equivalent to -40.67 points. The index broke through the 1800-point mark and has the prospect of further penetrating the short-term low of February.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Impact on: VIC, GAS, VCB, BID, CTG, TCB, MBB, VPB, GVR, SSI
    • Market Outlook: The market experienced a sharp decline with widespread selling pressure, indicating prevailing anxiety. Although the index broke through key support levels, this could be an opportunity for long-term investors to accumulate good fundamental stocks at discounted prices. Risk management is the top priority at this time; it is recommended to reduce margin positions and wait for clearer bottoming signals.

HoSE liquidity decreased by 17% in February.

In February 2026, the HoSE exchange recorded an average daily trading volume of over 902 million shares with an average daily trading value of over 28,891 billion VND; corresponding to a decrease of 17,071 shares in volume and 16,751 shares in value compared to the previous month.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Impact on: HCM, HOSE, VNIT, VIC, VCB, VHM, BID, CTG, GAS, HPA
    • Analysis: The decline in liquidity in February reflects cautious capital flows and may be a sign of investor waiting. This creates a risk of significant volatility if large amounts of capital suddenly enter or exit the market. During this period, investors should prioritize stocks with strong fundamentals and avoid trading based on rumors to protect their capital.

The buying pressure is driving prices down further.

This represents a failure of buying interest; it seems those holding cash want further discounts. HSX liquidity decreased by 13% in both value and volume, while the index plummeted by 2,25%, with 166 stocks falling below 1%.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Impact on: HSX, VNI, HNX, BSR, DCM, DPM, DGC, VCG, EVF, NLG
    • Analysis: Market developments indicate that buyers are waiting for deeper discounts, putting downward pressure on the overall index. Despite the sharp decline, this could be an opportunity for medium- and long-term investors to gradually accumulate positions in promising sectors. Diversifying portfolios and closely monitoring cash flow will be effective risk management strategies during this period.

VinaCapital believes that any significant drop in the VN-Index presents a buying opportunity.

VinaCapital expects this outstanding performance to continue in the coming months and believes any significant dip in the VN-Index would be a buying opportunity.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Impact on: GAS, LPG, HALO, MSCI
    • Analysis: VinaCapital's perspective offers a positive outlook, recommending taking advantage of corrections to increase positions. This strategy is suitable for investors who believe in the long-term prospects of the Vietnamese market, especially given the potential of macroeconomic and internal corporate factors. Careful selection of stocks with solid fundamentals and attractive valuations is necessary to optimize returns.

Inflation concerns pushed gold prices down again, prompting the SPDR Gold Trust to continue selling off its holdings.

Global gold prices reversed course and fell in a single trading session amid concerns about inflation, rising bond yields, and a strengthening US dollar.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Impacts: Hypotension, ANG, SPDR
    • Assessment: The decline in global gold prices due to inflation concerns and rising bond yields may affect investor sentiment toward safe-haven assets. While not directly impacting the domestic stock market, this development remains a macroeconomic indicator to monitor for assessing capital flows between investment channels. Investors should consider the proportion of gold in their portfolios and focus on assets with more stable cash flows.

US stocks sell off amid Middle East conflict, crude oil prices surge.

The US stock market experienced another sell-off in a single trading session, as escalating conflict in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices sharply higher.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Impacts: WTI, AAA, CFRA
    • Assessment: The sell-off in the US market and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are global risk factors that need to be closely monitored. The sharp rise in crude oil prices could put pressure on production costs and inflation, indirectly impacting the Vietnamese economy and corporate profit prospects. Investors should prioritize stocks that are resilient to oil price fluctuations and seek opportunities in sectors that benefit from rising oil prices.

The flow of gold and silver has been disrupted by conflicts in the Middle East.

Conflict in the Middle East is significantly disrupting global gold and silver flows, with most flights to and from Dubai being suspended.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Impact on: UAE, WGC
    • Assessment: Disruptions to the gold and silver supply chains due to conflicts in the Middle East indicate increasing geopolitical risks. This could push the prices of precious metals higher, but also reflects the instability of the global economy. Although the direct impact on the Vietnamese stock market is not significant, investors should still exercise caution, maintain a reasonable cash allocation, and prioritize highly liquid assets in their portfolios to cope with unexpected fluctuations.
