What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The VN-Index finished at 1,698.35 points on October 15, 2026, declining 0.38 per cent and slipping below the 1,700-point threshold. The index’s decline was driven by selling pressure in Vingroup-related stocks and energy shares, though liquidity improved to VNĐ15 trillion. Despite the overall decline, the market showed positive breadth, with more gainers than decliners.

The movement highlights that downward pressure on the market benchmark is concentrated in several large-cap stocks rather than being spread evenly across the market. Major stocks like Vinhomes and Sacombank contributed significantly to the index drag, while others like Vietcombank and FPT Corporation provided support.
