Stocks fell for the second consecutive week.

The domestic stock market continued its negative trading week, with the VN-Index falling for the second consecutive week. Simultaneously, liquidity remained low.

The first trading session of the week was the only one in which the VN-Index rose, while the market declined in the other four sessions as selling pressure spread across many sectors.

The market recorded its week with near-lowest liquidity since the beginning of the year. The total trading value across the market reached VND 102,201 billion, with the average daily trading value decreasing by 24.5% compared to the previous week.

Cash flow emerged in several sectors, helping to limit the index's decline. Meanwhile, selling pressure was mainly concentrated in the real estate sector and some large-cap bank stocks.

The cash flow is mainly concentrated in certain specialized sectors such as oil and gas and bank stocks with specific supporting information like MSB,ACB ... Among them, MSB has significant supporting information, such as Rox Living Joint Stock Company registering to buy 100 million MSB shares for investment purposes. The transaction is expected to be carried out between May 29th and June 8th, 2026, through order matching and negotiated transactions.

In addition, MSB's business results for the first quarter of 2026 showed positive signs, with the bank reporting a profit of nearly VND 1,890 billion, an increase of approximately 16% compared to the same period last year.

Specifically for the trading session on Friday (May 29th), the market leaned towards red with 189 stocks declining, significantly more than the 121 stocks that rose. Low liquidity continued to be the dominant trend in the market.

At the end of the trading week from May 25th to 29th, the VN-Index closed at 1,863.49 points, down 13.64 points, or 0.73%, compared to the previous week, marking the second consecutive week of decline.

As many as 16 out of 21 sectors experienced declines during the trading week. Oil and gas, aviation, and electricity were the only three sectors that maintained upward momentum. Conversely, fertilizers, construction, and chemicals faced the strongest downward pressure.

Foreign investors continued their strong net selling with a total value of VND 4,921 billion last week. Market liquidity remained low, but the magnitude of the decline was narrowing with each session, indicating that short-term selling pressure had somewhat eased.

Experts at ACB Securities Company Limited believe that the 1,850-point level is currently acting as an important short-term support threshold for the VN-Index. Accordingly, the correction may slow down and shift to a consolidation phase around this point before a clearer trend forms.

Meanwhile, experts from Kien Thiet Vietnam Securities Joint Stock Company believe that, in the context of weakening demand, capital flows will be strongly diversified and no longer spread widely across the market. The fact that investors are maintaining their purchasing power in the current period is already a positive sign.

"We continue to maintain our portfolio holding stance and are not in a hurry to open new buying positions given the low market liquidity. Investors should prioritize sectors showing signs of trend consolidation before the market truly stabilizes," this business expert advised.

Experts at Vietcombank Securities Company believe the VN-Index is currently testing its momentum around the 1,850-1,870 point range. Capital flows continue to be clearly differentiated across sectors, although some stocks have shown signs of recovery after previous corrections. Investors are advised to closely monitor market developments in the coming sessions and exercise caution when opening new buying positions.
