The allocation of money flow decreased in key sectors (Banking, Real Estate, Securities, Steel, and Retail) while increasing in some smaller sectors such as Information Technology, Chemicals, Construction, Agriculture & Fisheries, Electricity, Textiles, and Aviation.
The money flow allocation hit a 10-week low in Banking, Securities, and Steel, but the price indices of these sectors moved in tandem with the market, recording gains. The divergence between prices and money flow in the Banking sector continued for the second consecutive week, observed in many leading stocks such as VCB, BID, CTG, and TCB.
In the Real Estate sector, the money flow allocation significantly decreased, and the price index rose less than the overall market, indicating a “losing steam” signal for real estate stocks.
Among the sectors with an increased money flow allocation, Information Technology (FPT) and Express Delivery (VTP) stood out with price indices that outperformed the overall market. For FPT, in particular, the increase in money flow and price was notably influenced by strong net buying from foreign investors.
Looking at the weekly picture, the money flow allocation decreased in the large-cap VN30 group while increasing in the mid-cap VNMID and small-cap VNSML groups.
Last week, money flow remained concentrated in the large-cap VN30 group, accounting for 48.7% of the total, although lower than the previous week’s 52.3%. The allocation to the mid-cap VNMID and small-cap VNSML groups increased, reaching 36.7% and 11.5%, respectively.
In terms of money flow size, the average trading value decreased most significantly in the large-cap VN30 group (-1,760 billion VND/-28%), followed by the mid-cap VNMID group (-270/-6.2%). Meanwhile, the small-cap VNSML group saw a slight improvement in liquidity (+41 billion VND/+3.5%).
Regarding price movements, the VN30 and VNSML indices outperformed the overall market, rising by 1.96% and 2.01%, respectively. In contrast, the VNMID index recorded a lower increase of 1.75%.

The market climbed for another week, with indices outperforming the previous week’s numbers. However, liquidity took a significant dip, falling to a record low in the last one and a half years. Experts suggest that this upward trend is being supported by supply rather than cash flow, and even those with money are unsure whether to jump in at this point.
