HIGHLIGHTED NEWS
FTSE Russell has just officially announced the upgrade of Vietnam's stock market from Frontier Market to Secondary Emerging Market, with an expected effective date of September 21, 2026, after completing the mid-term review in March 2026. FTSE Russell recognized the significant progress of Vietnamese regulators in improving the system and confirmed that Vietnam has met all the criteria of a Secondary Emerging Market. The upgrade process is expected to be carried out in several phases, with a detailed roadmap to be announced in the March 2026 review. This is a historic milestone, marking more than a decade of comprehensive reform efforts of the Vietnamese stock market. This result not only affirms Vietnam's new position on the global financial map, but also opens up opportunities to attract billions of dollars in foreign investment flows, promoting deeper integration of the Vietnamese stock market with the international financial system.
TRADING STRATEGY
- The stock market closed in a slight red and retreated to 1,685 points with a decrease compared to the previous trading session. Cash flow diversified back to the destination of leading stocks in the financial services industry and some individual stocks in the real estate, retail, and utilities industries. On the contrary, the downward pressure appeared mainly in stocks in the banking and basic resources industries. VN-Index today is likely to fluctuate around the 1,680-1,700 point area.
- The market appeared to shake and cool down after the previous positive increase. Selling pressure reappeared but not too strong and only concentrated in certain groups of stocks. Cash flow improved in selective differentiation. Large-cap stocks VN30 maintained their leading role, regulating the general index. VN-Index is still in a recovery trend towards the 1,720-1,740 point area. Investors can consider increasing the proportion of stocks held in their portfolio, prioritizing fundamental stocks with prospects for business results in the final period of the year or in the group that benefits from the event of Vietnamese stocks being officially upgraded from a frontier market to a secondary emerging market by FTSE Russell.
