BVS

In the first week of May, the VN-Index set a new record high of 1,915.37 points, up 3.3%, driving a sharp rotation into securities stocks. VDS saw trading volume jump nearly 120% and ORS nearly 100%, while real estate and steel stocks experienced declining liquidity. The shift highlights investor preference for brokerages during the index rally.

Securities stocks rallied on May 6 after news that Vietnam may be added to the MSCI Watchlist in June 2026, a precursor to Emerging Markets status. VIX and HCM hit ceiling prices, while SSI, SHS, BVS, VND, TCI also gained over 4%. The upgrade could attract 4-5x more foreign capital, structurally benefiting brokerage and margin lending income.

VIX and HCM hit ceiling as a broad securities rally drove VN-Index up 0.87% on rumors that five companies received approval to open a tokenized asset exchange. The sector saw massive volume, with VIX and SSI among the top five most traded stocks on HoSE. The move reflects speculative sentiment rather than fundamental catalysts, but the breadth and liquidity confirm strong short-term buying pressure.

Vingroup stocks (VIC, VRE, VHM, VPL) and steel names (HSG, TLH, NKG, VGS) attracted strong capital flows in the week of April 13-17, with VIC trading volume doubling. Meanwhile, financial and oil & gas stocks experienced significant outflows, reflecting sector rotation.
