At the close of the morning session, the market recorded mixed moves. The VN-Index rose strongly by nearly 33 points, while the HNX-Index fell modestly by 0.5 point. Toward the end of the session, selling pressure became more prominent. Market breadth showed 340 decliners versus about 270 advancers.
The VN-Index’s gains were supported by real estate, led by the Vingroup group stocks. VHM and VIC rose near the daily limit, helping lift the main HOSE index. The energy sector was the standout negative area in the morning, with PLX down over 5% and BSR down nearly 5%. Other names including PVD, PVT, and PVS declined by 1–3%. Utilities (electricity and water) also traded in the red, though a few stocks such as BWE and TTA moved higher.
Liquidity in the morning session was just over VND 8.1 trillion, indicating cautious trading sentiment. The subdued activity was attributed to investors not yet returning to trading after the long weekend and ahead of another extended holiday.
The VN-Index’s gains continued to widen. By 10:30, the index was up over 26 points, with Vingroup mega-cap stocks remaining the primary driver. Mid-morning, VIC and VHM rose about 5%, while VRE climbed nearly 4%. This rally pushed the VN-Index up to nearly 27 points, with the move heavily skewed by these large-cap stocks.
At 10:35, market breadth recorded 265 gainers and 285 decliners. Most sectors showed mixed performance, with red and green intermingled.
The energy group stayed among the weakest in the morning. BSR, PLX, PVD, PVT, OIL, PVS, and GAS were down around 3%.
In consumer discretionary, MWG, PVL, FRT, and PET continued to advance. However, declines were still prominent in several names, including VVS, HHS, PNJ, DGW, CTF, TCM, and others.
Despite the VN-Index surge, money flow remained weak. By 10:40, turnover stood at nearly VND 6 trillion, lower than at the same time in the previous session.
At the start of trading on 28/04, the VN-Index continued its uptrend, supported by heavyweight stocks. By 9:35, the index was up more than 13 points.
VIC and VHM were the standout contributors, with VIC pushing the index by about 11.5 points and VHM adding about 3.3 points. Banking stocks also contributed to the rise. On the downside, the energy group weighed on the index, though declines were not large. BSR, GAS, and PLX were among the top detractors.
Markets were green in financials, real estate, and IT, while energy remained broadly red.
PC1 continued to hit the lower circuit, with liquidity thin at about 17.2 million shares on offer. In the food sector, KDC hit a circuit-down day, with about 1.8 million shares on offer.
