I. VIETNAMESE STOCK MARKET OVERVIEW FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 20-24, 2025
Trading Activity: Key indices showed mixed movements during the October 24 session. The VN-Index closed the week at 1,683.18 points, down 0.23% from the previous session. Meanwhile, the HNX-Index edged up 0.19% to 267.28 points. For the full week, the VN-Index lost 48.01 points (-2.77%), while the HNX-Index declined by 8.83 points (-3.2%) compared to the prior week.
Vietnam’s stock market endured another volatile week, marked by a sharp decline early on. Despite efforts to recover losses in subsequent sessions, the VN-Index struggled to gain traction amid heightened investor caution. Persistent net selling by foreign investors further pressured the market, culminating in the VN-Index ending the week at 1,683.18 points, a 2.77% weekly decline.
The financial sector was the primary drag in the final session, accounting for 8 out of the top 10 negatively impacting stocks, erasing nearly 7.5 points from the VN-Index. Conversely, VIC and FPT managed to retain 4.6 points, though insufficient to lift the overall index.
Sector performance was polarized. The financial sector led losses with a 1.14% drop, as heavy selling hit stocks like SSI (-4%), VIX (-6.5%), SHB (-2.4%), MBB (-3.17%), TCB (-3.09%), SHS (-3.75%), VPB (-2.67%), VND (-1.46%), and EIB (-2.16%).
The industrial sector also weighed on the index, with stocks such as VJC, GEE, MVN, VEF, GEX, CII, and VSC falling over 2%. Notable exceptions included VTP, which hit its upper limit, along with BMP (+5.45%), TLG (+1.52%), and VGC (+1.2%).
On the positive side, the media services and IT sectors led gains, rising 3.37% and 2.84%, respectively. Key contributors were CTR (upper limit), VGI (+4.26%), VNZ (+1.73%), TTN (+5.23%), FPT (+2.84%), CMG (+3.06%), and VEC, POT, and SMT, all reaching their maximum daily gains.
Foreign investors continued net selling, totaling over VND 4.9 trillion across both exchanges. Specifically, they net sold VND 4.4 trillion on the HOSE and nearly VND 520 billion on the HNX.
