Market Pulse 28/04: Recurrent lead-stock rally as VN-Index extends gains At the close on 28 April, the VN-Index remained in positive territory, rising 22.5 points to 1,875.8. The HNX-Index fell by 2.5 points, to around 250. While the index on HOSE advanced, the underlying trading did not fully reflect that breadth. Gains came from selective contributions of a few stock groups. The VinGroup-linked names led the move, with VHM and VRE hitting the ceiling, while VIC nearly hitting the ceiling, serving as the main engine for today’s VN-Index. In fact, this pattern has persisted across several sessions; stocks tied to the Vingroup group have continued to rise and have been the principal driver pushing VN-Index toward the near 1,900 level. Many real estate stocks also followed the uptrend. NVL rose over 5%, with VPI, TCH, CEO, IDC posting solid gains today. Across most sectors, performance showed dispersion. Some blue chips held gains while most sector equities traded red. The financials-banking group posted gains from STB, ACB, TCB, HCM, VIB, while many other names remained in the red. Non-essential consumer stocks advanced with MWG, VPL, FRT, PET. However, this group also contained notable decliners such as PNJ, DGW, TNG, C69, HUT. The weakest performers were the oil & gas and utilities groups. In oil and gas, PLX, PVT finished on the down side. BSR fell more than 6%. In utilities, GAS, REE, HDC, POW, GEG also closed lower. Liquidity remained broadly in line with the previous session, at just over 21 trillion dong. Foreign investors were net sellers by more than 550 billion, with FPT and VHM in focus. On the buying side, VRE, NVL, and VIC were favored by buyers. Opening: The Vingroup group and banks continued to lift the VN-Index At the opening of trading on 28/04, the VN-Index continued its uptrend, supported by the leading stocks. By 9:35, the index was up more than 13 points. In terms of contributions, VIC and VHM stood out, with VIC adding about 11.5 points to the index and VHM lifting around 3.3 points. Banks also contributed to the index’s gains. In contrast, the oil and gas group weighed on the index, though declines were not severe. BSR, GAS, PLX were among the top decliners. The sentiment across financials, real estate, and IT was positive, while the oil & gas group showed a less favorable tone. Market commentary and related stories continue on the site.
