The Hunt for the Whale’s Money Trail: Foreigners Keep Buying, with a Net Purchase of Nearly VND 500 Billion

The September 17th trading session witnessed a strong showing from proprietary traders and foreign investors, who continued to demonstrate a united front by net buying. However, a significant disparity in their trading volumes stood out. While foreign investors aggressively snapped up stocks, their net buying volume reached an impressive 470 billion VND, nearly seven times the net buying value of proprietary traders. This notable divergence in trading activity underscores the contrasting strategies and interests of these two influential trading blocs in the Vietnamese stock market.
