What Happened
According to data from the HOSE, foreign investors unexpectedly turned net buyers on July 10, 2026, purchasing a total of VND 1,385.1 billion (~$55.4 million) across all trading methods. On a matched-order basis, foreign net buying was VND 203.4 billion. The buying was concentrated in the Real Estate and Food & Beverage sectors, with VIC and VNM being the most purchased stocks. In contrast, the Banking sector saw the heaviest net selling, with FPT, VPB, VCB, and SSI among the top sold.
The VN-Index fell 12.36 points to 1,828.34, pressured by broad-based selling, especially in large-cap banking and energy stocks. However, VIC’s gain helped cushion the decline. Market liquidity was low, with total matched orders on all three exchanges exceeding VND 17,500 billion.
Market Context
VIC, the flagship stock of Vingroup, closed at VND 223,000 (+0.90%) on volume of 3.99 million shares, outperforming the market. VNM rose 1.62% to VND 56,600. The VN-Index’s decline was led by VHM, TCB, VPB, GAS, and BSR. The foreign buying came as a surprise given recent selling trends, and it provided some support to the market. VIC is listed on HOSE and is the largest real estate stock by market capitalization.
Strategic Significance
The foreign net buying, especially in VIC and VNM, suggests a shift in sentiment toward defensive or high-quality names amid market weakness. Real estate and consumer staples are often seen as resilient sectors. The continued foreign selling in banking stocks may reflect concerns about sector headwinds. The low overall liquidity indicates caution among domestic investors, but foreign inflows could signal confidence in selected large caps.
