Latest moves by foreign investors

Foreign investors continued to net sell in the session of August 4, but the pressure has decreased significantly, with a total net selling value of VND371.78 billion. The stocks that were sold heavily included SSI, VIC, and VHM, of which VIC was under the greatest pressure with a net selling value of nearly VND1,000 billion. However, the cooling signal from foreign investors' net selling is a positive factor, creating more confidence for domestic investors.

According to Vietcombank Securities Company (VCBS), VN-Index recorded an impressive recovery session on August 4, led by large-cap stocks and the spread of green in the market. With this strong increase, investors expect VN-Index to continue to advance further in the session on August 5, with the main driving force coming from large codes such as VIC, VHM, SHB, and stocks in the banking, real estate, and securities groups.

Some other securities companies recommend that investors maintain their weight in stocks that are recovering well, especially those in the large-cap group; they can partially disburse into stocks with impressive business results in the second quarter of 2025 with short-term investment goals. At the same time, stock players need to closely monitor supply-demand developments and foreign investors' movements because the VN-Index is in a sensitive area. The possibility of market fluctuations may occur, requiring investors to be cautious and flexible in their trading decisions.
