Before the first trading session of the week, many analyst groups believed the market was maintaining a neutral state, trading sideways within a narrow range. This trend was expected to end only when certain leading stock groups emerged, pushing the VN-Index past the crucial resistance level of 1.670 points.
Today, the VN-Index stayed in the green throughout the session, thanks to the buoyant mood surrounding Vingroup family stocks. The index representing the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange closed near 1.668 points, adding 13 points compared to its reference. The VN30 recorded a more positive increase, surpassing the 1.900-point mark.
The Vingroup group's market leadership was clear, contributing over 14 points to the VN-Index. According to VNDirect Securities Company, VIC, VHM, VRE, and VPL occupied four of the top 5 spots for stocks with the most positive impact on the index.
VRE was the most buoyant, rising to its ceiling price of 34.450 dong, with nearly 900 billion dong in matched orders. VIC continued to set new market price records, increasing by 4,3% to nearly 240.000 dong.
Largely due to the Vingroup group's significant contribution, the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange found itself in a "green index, red stocks" scenario. This meant the index rose sharply, but declining stocks outnumbered gainers. Today, nearly 190 stocks closed below their reference price, while only 123 stocks saw increases.
Most sectors showed significant divergence. Within the banking group, VPB, KLB, OCB, and BID all gained, while over 10 stocks faced strong selling pressure and closed in the red. STB led the decline, falling 2,5% to 50.000 dong. Several key stocks such as VCB, CTG, MBB, and SHB also experienced declines, though with smaller margins.
In the securities sector, leading stocks like SSI, VIX, TCX, and HCM performed in line with the broader market. Conversely, small-cap stocks such as APG, VDS, and ORS all fell.
Similar trends emerged in the real estate sector. Beyond Vingroup family stocks, Novaland and Khai Hoan Land shares also closed in the green. Both rose 2,6%, reaching 15.800 dong and 7.760 dong respectively. Conversely, penny stocks like SCR, LDG, CII, and HQC experienced heavy selling, losing 1-3% by session close.
Today's stock market liquidity stood at approximately 17.400 billion dong, a drop of nearly 3.000 billion dong from the end of last week. This represents the lowest level since mid-June. Investor capital was primarily concentrated in a few large-cap stocks: VRE (895 billion dong), SHB (837 billion dong), and VIC (762 billion dong).
Foreign investors disbursed 1.734 billion dong today, while selling approximately 2.900 billion dong. This marked the strongest net selling session in the past half-month. Selling pressure predominantly targeted Vincom Retail, with over 8 million shares traded, followed by VND, NVL, and VIX.
