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.
A sudden surge of cash flow caused stocks to reverse course and surge.
The market unexpectedly reversed course upon reopening, starting with a series of large blue-chip stocks, then spreading widely. Although VIC was pushed back to its reference price at closing, and VCB saw only a weak increase, the VN-Index still recorded a surge of 2,021 TP3T. The number of stocks that exceeded 21 TP3T alone reached 115.
- Signal: Positive
- Impact on: VIC, VCB, HDB, VPL, GEX, EIB, BSR, CII, PVD, SSI
- Analysis: Strong capital inflows indicate short-term market optimism. The spread from blue-chip stocks to the entire market shows a significant improvement in investor sentiment. Investors can take advantage of this period to accumulate leading stocks with stable profit prospects; however, careful selection is necessary, and avoid chasing prices that have risen too quickly.
Blue-chip stocks continued to weaken, causing the VN-Index to gradually slide towards the 1600-point mark.
Of the 10 largest capitalized stocks on the VN-Index, only MBB remained in the green. This group exerted significant pressure on the index and overall sentiment. The number of declining stocks on the HoSE exchange was 2.2 times greater than the number of rising stocks, and hundreds of stocks fell by more than 1%.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impact on: MBB, VIC, VHM, VRE, VPL, VCB, CTG, TCB, VPB, LPB
- Analysis: Although the index declined due to heavy selling of large-cap stocks, this could be an opportunity to restructure portfolios at more attractive prices. Selling pressure stemming from concerns about Q4 earnings could cause the VN-Index to fluctuate widely. A suitable investment strategy is to closely monitor stocks that have corrected sufficiently deeply and have stable accumulation bases to participate in short-term rebounds.
“"The 'sadness' of the stock market: VN-Index rose by over 30% but most investors suffered losses."
Many investors have shifted from profitable to loss-making positions, although overall, the VN-Index has maintained a strong increase compared to the beginning of the year.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impact on: MAS, VIC, VHM, VRE, FDI, VNM, GAS, BVH, SAB
- Commentary: The fact that the index rose but individual investors suffered losses reflects the strong divergence in the market. Stocks that do not benefit from speculative capital flows are easily overlooked. Investors should focus on fundamental analysis and cash flow to avoid buying weak stocks, and consider a Price Action investment strategy instead of chasing FOMO.
Gold prices fall from their peak following positive news on Russia-Ukraine peace talks.
Progress in peace negotiations aimed at ending the war between Russia and Ukraine appears to be weakening the need for risk mitigation measures.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impacts: SPDR, NATO, RJO, CME
- Analysis: Gold prices react sensitively to geopolitical news, so the price drop reflects expectations of a global economic recovery. This is a positive factor for the stock market, especially manufacturing and banking sectors. However, investors need to closely monitor political developments to make timely adjustments to portfolios with excessively high gold proportions.
Associate Professor Vo Dinh Tri: VN-Index will hover around 1,800 in 2026, offering many value investment opportunities.
Associate Professor Vo Dinh Tri, from IPAG Business School Paris (France), predicts that a stock market growth of around 10% – 12% next year is a reasonable level, and that the VN-Index will then be close to 1,800, with the market continuing to revolve around this figure.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impacts include: PGS, IPAG, IMF, FDI
- Analysis: The 10% – 12% growth forecast indicates a positive long-term outlook for the Vietnamese market. Investors should adopt a "buy and hold" strategy with fundamentally sound stocks that have long-term growth potential. Short-term volatility may persist, but this presents an opportunity to gradually accumulate promising stocks in a long-term portfolio.
Deputy Minister of Finance: Aiming to upgrade the Vietnamese stock market.
The Deputy Minister requested the Securities Commission to focus on implementing key tasks, including aggressively implementing solutions to maintain the ranking and aiming to upgrade the Vietnamese stock market to higher standards.
- Signal: Positive
- Impact on: FTSE
- Assessment: The prospect of an upgrade could significantly boost foreign capital inflows into the market in the medium and long term. Investors should focus on stocks with transparent governance, internationally standardized financial products, and high liquidity. This presents an opportunity to invest before the new wave of capital from global ETFs, with strategies centered around blue-chip stocks in the banking and consumer sectors.
5 questions about ECB interest rates in 2026 that will affect the trajectory of the EUR.

- Signal: Neutral
- Impact on: ECB, THEO, CHI, SAO, THAY
- Analysis: The ECB's potential interest rate hike will directly impact indirect investment flows into developing markets like Vietnam. Additionally, the EUR/VND exchange rate will be affected, putting pressure on imports. Investors should consider sectors with high import volumes, such as electronics and textiles, and exercise caution in the short term, but may take advantage of any corrections to make long-term investments once prices have adjusted.
US stocks fell amid doubts surrounding AI stocks, and oil prices also declined.
The US stock market fell on Monday (December 15), as artificial intelligence (AI) stocks continued to face selling pressure.
- Signal: Neutral
- Impact on: CNBC, WTI, NATO, PVM
- Analysis: Technology stocks are being revalued as the growth of AI is suspected of having a ripple effect on emerging markets. Falling oil prices support input costs for Vietnamese manufacturing businesses but also put pressure on oil and gas stocks. Therefore, it is advisable to prioritize domestic consumer goods stocks and temporarily reduce the weighting of oil and gas stocks in short-term investment portfolios.
