Foreign investors maintained their net selling position in April 2025, with a total net selling value of over VND 14,500 billion. ETF net selling accounted for about 17.3% of the total net selling value. In the first four months of 2025, the total selling value of foreign investors was over VND 42,400 billion, 2.5 times higher than the net selling value in the same period last year.
In April 2025, foreign investors net sold over VND 13,400 billion on the HoSE, VND 439 billion on the HNX, and VND 657 billion on the UPCoM. The stocks that foreign investors net sold the most in April 2025 were VIC, FPT, MBB, VCB, and VNM. On the buying side, the stocks with the largest net buying value in April 2025 included HPG, MWG, GEX, HVN, and BMP.
Amid escalating trade tensions and concerns about economic policy instability under the Trump administration, the Dollar Index witnessed a sharp decline below 100 points in April. Foreign investors gradually reduced their net selling value in the last trading sessions of April and started to net buy slightly in the first trading sessions of May.
VnDirect expects the Dollar Index to remain low in the coming period. Along with the expected progress in Vietnam-US trade negotiations and the prospect of an upgraded stock market, foreign investors are anticipated to return to net buying in the Vietnamese stock market in the second half of this year.
