BSC Brief | 08.10: Market liquidity remains modest

MARKET OUTLOOK
Driven by positive news regarding the market’s potential upgrade, the VN-Index surged right from the opening, surpassing the 1,700 level. However, profit-taking pressure emerged, causing the index to move sideways within the range of 1,680–1,704 before closing at 1,697.83, up nearly 13 points from yesterday. Market breadth was positive with 15 out of 18 sectors advancing, led by the Retail sector, followed by Insurance and Industrial Goods & Services. Regarding foreign investors’ activity, they were net buyers on HSX but net sellers on HNX and UPCOM. It can be seen that the official upgrade, expected to take effect in September 2026 and dependent on the results of the March 2026 review, has not yet been attractive enough to investors, as reflected in the sideways movement and modest liquidity. The market needs a decisive candle with supporting liquidity to confirm a new upward trend above 1,700.
