# Vietnam Why foreign investors are dumping Vietnamese stock​​​​​​​ - VnExpress International

> Foreign investors have been net sellers on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange for 30 consecutive sessions, with the VN-Index falling to around 656 points amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Analysts say the withdrawal reflects a broader retreat from equities and a stronger US dollar, which has pushed the dong down about 1.7% since March 17.
