Vietnamese Market Declines Amid Foreign Selling in Banking Stocks
What happened
On November 2, 2026, selling pressure spread across the market, causing the VN-Index to drop 1.77% to 1,710.72 points. Foreign investors increased net sales of banking shares, which contributed to the decline. Banking and property stocks were among the biggest drags on the index.

Why it matters
The market decline was driven by selling pressure, particularly in the banking sector, which affects capital flow and market valuation. While IT stocks like FPT Corporation and CMC Corporation saw losses, some stocks provided limited support.
