Foreign investors return to net selling, domestic investors still in no hurry to sell

Despite a series of obstacles such as hot technical indicators, derivatives expiration sessions and foreign investors' net selling, the Vietnamese stock market on July 17 still witnessed strong demand from domestic investors. Domestic cash flow became the main driving force, pushing the VN-Index closer to the important psychological threshold of 1,500 points.

In the morning session, VN-Index accelerated strongly, easily surpassing the 1,490 point mark and continued to maintain the excitement until mid-afternoon. However, profit-taking pressure appeared, causing the index to fluctuate slightly, with red appearing in some stocks.

However, the selling pressure was not strong enough to divert the cash flow. Most investors still held their positions and did not rush to sell. Market developments showed that the optimistic sentiment continued to prevail, even when foreign investors suddenly returned to net selling after many consecutive net buying sessions before.

The FOMO fever is clearly shown through the surge in liquidity. Today's transaction value reached the highest level since the session on April 11, 2025 - the session of massive bottom fishing after the news that the US temporarily postponed the imposition of tariffs for 90 days with more than 75 countries.

Meanwhile, although technical indicators such as RSI and Stochastic have fallen into the overbought zone, and risks from the derivatives expiration session are present, green still dominates the electronic board. VN-Index maintains the mark above 1,490 points despite fluctuations in the afternoon session.

At the end of the session, the HOSE recorded 209 stocks increasing and 115 stocks decreasing. The VN-Index increased by 14.54 points (+0.99%) to 1,490.01 points. Liquidity continued to be active with nearly 1.45 billion shares traded, equivalent to VND35,687.5 billion, up 7% in volume and 8% in value compared to yesterday's session.

Negotiated transactions contributed more than 96.7 million units, equivalent to VND4,471 billion, of which the most notable was the transaction of more than 55.1 million VCB shares, worth VND3,280 billion.
