Foreign investors net sold 840 billion VND (~33.6 million USD) on May 12, with FPT, VHM, MSB, ACB, and VCB bearing the heaviest selling pressure. VIC and VRE were the top net buys, with VIC attracting 196 billion VND. The VN-Index closed near 1,900 points despite the outflow.

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.
