Selling pressure dominated as investors stayed cautious ahead of a series of significant events that could affect the stock market, pushing the Ho Chi Minh City index down by a further 9 points.
The VN-Index fell for most of today’s trading session, briefly reaching its lowest level in a week. Buying interest in the final minutes helped reduce the decline, extending a three-session pullback and closing at 1,675 points.
The market’s performance is consistent with short-term forecasts from several analyst groups. Yuanta Vietnam Securities said that while the index closed lower, it remained in a rebound from the 1,590-point level. The firm noted that downward momentum from last week could continue, potentially bringing the VN-Index back to around 1,640–1,660 points before a move toward 1,700.
Analysts also highlighted that the market will be heavily influenced by upcoming events, especially FTSE Russell’s mid-year upgrade results.
Nearly 240 stocks on the Ho Chi Minh City exchange closed in the red, about three times the number of gainers. In the large-cap segment, 18 stocks closed below the reference price, double the number of advancing stocks.
The oil and gas sector faced the strongest selling pressure. All constituent stocks declined, with BSR and PVD the biggest movers at 4.7% and 3.7% respectively. Investors also sold off fertilizer stocks, with bellwether names DGC, DPM and DCM falling by more than 3%.
Stock equities also dropped sharply. APG hit the floor with no buyers, while TCX, VIX and VDS fell by about 2%. VND was among the few stocks that stayed flat.
Real estate stocks were broadly weak. Major developers including KDH, NLG, AGG, PDR and DXG all closed down more than 1%. VIC rebounded, rising 0.4% to 141,600 dong, helping limit the VN-Index’s losses.
Liquidity remained weak, with trading value not yet reaching 18,000 billion dong, the lowest level since mid-February.
No stock traded above 1 trillion dong today. VIX led with nearly 600 billion dong traded, followed by HPG, SHB and MWG, each with more than 500 billion dong in value.
Foreign investors extended selling for the second consecutive session. They bought about 1,650 billion dong and sold about 1,800 billion dong.

Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise.
