VN-Index rose nearly 20 points in the 20 April session, as proprietary trading by securities firms posted a net buy of the highest value in a month. The index's rally coincided with a clear shift in institutional money flows. The focus was on the proprietary trading desks, which net bought about around VND 1 trillion on HOSE, the highest in about a month. The cash flow concentrated in several large-cap stocks. VHM was the strongest net buyer with more than VND 112 billion, as the company recently raised its profit outlook by VND 10,000 billion. MSN followed with net buys of VND 94 billion, while HDB recorded about VND 92 billion. On the other hand, selling pressure from proprietary traders wasn't large and was dispersed. DGC had the biggest net sell of over VND 20 billion, followed by TPB with 13 billion and VCI with 9 billion. In terms of matched orders, VPB was net seller 127 billion; VIC 84 billion; BSR 53 billion. On the buy side, SSI led with 136 billion; MWG 133 billion; FPT 105 billion. Notably, including negotiated deals, VIC's net selling reached 879 billion, a wide gap relative to the matched-order figure. Looking wider from the start of April, foreign outflows remained evident in VinGroup stocks. VHM was net sold more than 5.1 trillion; VIC also net sold about 1.7 trillion. Conversely, HPG was the strongest buyer with over 1.3 trillion, followed by MSN with 774 billion. Foreign investors continued to be net buyers but at a lower pace overall. Top 10 foreign-net-buy stocks for 20/04 and other market updates followed.
