Despite facing strong selling pressure on July 8, causing the VN-Index to sometime drop by nearly 10 points, the market reversed course by the session's close. It marked a sixth consecutive session of gains, despite the heavy net selling by foreign investors.

Over at the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index also climbed by 0.84 points, or 0.35 percent, to settle at 243.15 points, with 88 stocks advancing, 70 retreating, and 74 remaining unchanged. Market liquidity showed improvement, with trading volume on HOSE nearing approximately VND19.9 trillion, up by almost VND4 trillion compared to the previous session.
Despite foreign investors setting a record for net selling on HOSE, totaling over VND2.3 trillion, the most heavily sold stocks included several large-cap names: HDB saw net sales of nearly VND500 billion, followed by FPT with over VND263 billion, STB with roughly VND245 billion, MWG with almost VND185 billion, MSN with over VND161 billion, VRE with over VND131 billion, VHM with nearly VND113 billion, and HPG with close to VND95 billion.
