What Happened
According to exchange data reported on July 13, proprietary trading desks at securities firms increased their two-way activity sharply compared to the prior session. On HOSE, net buying reached VND 230 billion, with GMD accounting for VND 221 billion of that total. Other notable buys included VPB (VND 45 billion) and FPT (VND 44 billion). On the sell side, VHM saw net selling of VND 156 billion.
Foreign investors, meanwhile, reduced their trading intensity but remained net sellers at VND 265 billion. The largest foreign net sales were in CTG, HPG, and VPB, each between VND 100-120 billion. In contrast, foreign investors net bought VHM with VND 129 billion, the top foreign inflow.
Market Context
On July 13, the VN-Index fell 27.8 points, a sharp decline that likely prompted divergent trading strategies. GMD closed at VND 75,300, while VPB closed at VND 26,400, FPT at VND 70,500, and VHM at VND 143,000. The heavy proprietary buying in GMD suggests a tactical bet on the logistics sector, while foreign selling in banking (CTG, VPB) and steel (HPG) reflects ongoing caution toward cyclical names. All affected tickers trade on HOSE.
Strategic Significance
The concentrated proprietary buying in GMD signals that domestic desks see value in logistics amid the market pullback. GMD, a leading port and logistics operator, may benefit from trade recovery and infrastructure spending. Conversely, foreign selling in CTG, HPG, and VPB indicates persistent concerns about credit growth, steel demand, and banking sector margins. The divergence between proprietary and foreign flows highlights a tactical opportunity in GMD but also underscores the broader foreign risk-off sentiment toward Vietnamese cyclicals.
