What Happened
According to exchange data, foreign investors net sold VND 868 billion on June 9, extending recent selling pressure. The sell-off was concentrated on HoSE, where net selling reached VND 869 billion. FPT was the most sold stock, with VND 108 billion in net outflows, followed by TCB (VND 98 billion) and MBB (VND 84 billion). On the buying side, foreign investors accumulated SSI, VNM, and KDH, each with net purchases of VND 20-24 billion.
On HNX, net selling was modest at VND 5 billion, led by MBS (VND 8 billion). UPCOM saw net buying of VND 6 billion, with ABB attracting VND 3 billion. The overall market remained resilient, with the VN-Index gaining 2.5 points to 1,793, supported by domestic liquidity.
Market Context
FPT closed at VND 73,700 on June 9, up 1.10% on volume of 7.8 million shares, despite being the top foreign sell. TCB rose 0.16% to VND 30,900, MBB gained 0.20% to VND 24,650, and ACB surged 4.95% to VND 26,500. The selling pressure did not translate into price declines for these stocks, indicating strong domestic demand. The VN-Index’s slight gain suggests that foreign selling is being absorbed, but persistent outflows could weigh on sentiment if they continue.
Strategic Significance
The concentrated foreign selling in FPT, TCB, and MBB reflects profit-taking or portfolio rebalancing by international investors, possibly in response to global rate expectations or Vietnam-specific risks. FPT, as a leading technology stock, has seen significant foreign ownership, and sustained selling could test its valuation. However, the fact that these stocks still closed positive shows that domestic institutional and retail investors are providing support. The divergence between foreign selling and price action may indicate a shift in market leadership toward domestic-driven momentum.
What to Watch
- Continuation of foreign net selling in the coming sessions, especially in FPT, TCB, and MBB.
- VN-Index’s ability to hold above 1,790 and volume trends on HoSE.
- Any SBV policy changes or global macro events that could influence foreign flows.
- Q2 earnings reports from FPT, TCB, and MBB to assess fundamental support.
- Foreign ownership limits and potential changes in ETF rebalancing schedules.
