All the gains since the beginning of the year have been almost wiped out, bringing the market back to its lowest point since mid-December 2025.

Market breadth heavily favored sellers. On the HoSE alone, 344 stocks declined, with 195 hitting the floor limit. Large-cap stocks also faced selling pressure, with almost the entire VN30 basket in the green, 21 stocks falling to the floor limit, and the remaining 8 in the red.

For many investors, this downturn not only wiped out the fragile profits from the beginning of the year but also dragged market sentiment back into a highly defensive state.

On the HNX exchange, the HNX-Index fell 17.89 points to 235.72 points, with over 87 million shares traded, equivalent to more than 1,860 billion VND.

The securities sector experienced a sharp decline, with a series of stocks falling sharply, including: FTS, MBS, ORS, SSI, SHS, TVS, VDS, VIX, TCX…

Not only in the Vietnamese market, but also across Asian stock markets this morning, a sell-off was observed. This sharp sell-off occurred as world oil prices breached the $100/barrel mark for the first time in nearly four years due to concerns about supply disruptions from the US-Iran conflict.

Specifically, South Korea's Kospi index plummeted 6.7%, while Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index fell 5.8%, after at one point losing more than 6% earlier in the session, dropping below the 53,000-point mark.

According to MB Securities (MBS), the conflict in the Middle East is the main factor influencing global stock market movements. The consequences of this event are seriously disrupting energy supplies, driving up logistics costs, and eroding profit margins for import and export businesses.

Amid shocks in the energy market and international supply chains, and rising inflation risks, Vietnam's highly open economy faces numerous challenges. Simultaneously, MBS recommends that investors prepare for short-term exchange rate and inflation risks before "bottom-fishing" capital returns to the market.
