The VN-Index opened in the red, at one point dropping over 14 points. For the first half of the morning, the index's chart stayed below its reference level. After 10h, stocks began to climb, exceeding 1,920 points near the lunch break.

After a slight fluctuation early in the afternoon, the HoSE benchmark index continued its ascent, setting a new record near 1,928 points. Subsequent profit-taking pressure caused the market to cool, with the index largely hovering around the 1,920-point mark. During the ATC session, stocks saw a minor adjustment but quickly rebounded.

The VN-Index closed above 1,925 points, marking the highest level in stock market history. The index gained over 27 points compared to yesterday, representing its strongest improvement since the record-setting session on 8/4.

Consequently, new records were established, both in terms of the highest intraday price and the closing price.

Across the HoSE, 165 stocks advanced, while 128 declined. This narrow margin suggests low market consensus. Demand was concentrated in the technology and real estate sectors, whereas the chemical sector saw negative performance.

Among individual stocks, Vingroup’s VIC exerted the most positive influence on the market, contributing over 14,5 points to the VN-Index's advance. The stock closed up 4% at 229,800 dong. During the session, VIC momentarily touched a record high of 232,000 dong. Its liquidity ranked 3rd in the market, totaling nearly 844 billion dong, with over 55% of matched orders originating from active buyers.

Furthermore, stocks like VHM, VCB, BID, and FPT also bolstered the overall index. FPT stock, having hit a one-year low, rebounded for three consecutive sessions. Today, it gained an additional 4,5% to reach 73,900 dong. Cash flow was also robust, with FPT recording the highest market liquidity at nearly 1,589 billion dong, and over 64% of matched orders driven by active buying.

Despite the VN-Index reaching unprecedented highs, HoSE liquidity decreased by over 25%. The total transaction value today amounted to over 22,100 billion dong.

However, a notable positive was the end of the foreign investors' net selling streak. Foreign investors returned with a net buy of approximately 261 billion dong, heavily concentrating on VIC and MSN. Despite this, the market still saw two stocks, VHM and TCB, experience net selling exceeding one hundred billion dong each.

Since the close of yesterday’s session, Vietcombank Securities (VCBS) noted signs of improving active buying demand. However, technical analysis suggests that alternating periods of gains and losses may persist before the VN-Index stabilizes in the 1,880-1,900 point range.

The analysis team advises investors to follow cash flow rotations and select stocks that are aligning with sector momentum, particularly those that have not yet significantly risen from strong support levels. Additionally, VCBS suggests that market fluctuations could present opportunities for short-term trading.
