On January 23, foreign investors resumed net buying, with a modest inflow of over VND 12 billion, following three consecutive sessions of net selling. However, trading volumes in both directions significantly decreased compared to the previous session.
In terms of buying activity, foreign capital was most concentrated in STB, with a net value exceeding VND 252 billion, far surpassing TCX, which ranked second with VND 160 billion. PLX secured the third position with approximately VND 98 billion in net purchases.
Conversely, selling pressure was most pronounced in VHM, with a net value of VND 169 billion. This was followed by major banking stocks such as VCB, CTG, and VPB, which saw net selling of nearly VND 145 billion, almost VND 120 billion, and over VND 88 billion, respectively. This indicates that foreign investors are reducing their exposure to blue-chip stocks amid a weakening market.
