In the stock session, MWG shares rose to the daily ceiling, bucking the broader market trend as heavyweight stocks weighed on the VN-Index. Throughout most of the morning, the index stayed above the reference level, climbing after opening orders to over 1,846 points—the highest level in almost a month and a half.
However, selling pressure accounted for more than 40% of the HoSE board, pulling the index back toward 1,815 points. Stocks then recovered quickly and traded in a range of about 1,820–1,830 points. In the afternoon, the index continued to hover around this level, but after 2 p.m. market breadth narrowed, with the tape turning green while the underlying order flow shifted to red. Several heavyweight stocks weakened further, causing the index to lose momentum.
As trading entered the ATC session, stocks turned red. Although the number of advancing stocks remained higher than those declining, the VN-Index ended the day down nearly 3 points to around 1,817, ending a five-session winning streak.
Across the whole exchange, 178 stocks rose, compared with 146 that declined, suggesting selling pressure was not overly heavy as capital continued to flow into stocks and themes with attractive stories.
On HoSE, total trading value exceeded 23.4 trillion dong, down about 4.5 trillion dong from the previous day. Liquidity for MWG exceeded 1.29 trillion dong, ranking third on the market, and about 54% of matched orders came from buyers.
MWG climbed to the daily ceiling and held at 86,900 dong per share, the highest level in about a month and a half. Alongside MWG, other retail stocks also advanced, helping the sector post the strongest gains in the market. PNJ rose 1.9%, DGW gained 1.7%, and FRT added 0.7%.
Three Vin-related stocks weighed on the index the most. VHM contributed more than 6 points to the decline, VIC added over 2 points, and VPL over 1 point. Vinhomes (VHM) fell 5.2% to 135,700 dong; liquidity was near the top of the market at nearly 1.296 trillion dong, with more than half of trades from sellers. By contrast, Vingroup (VIC) fell 0.7% to 187,900 dong, with liquidity over 1.294 trillion dong; about 52% of VIC matches came from buyers.
Foreign investors returned to net buying by about 110 billion dong after two sessions of net selling. VIC was the most bought stock, with nearly 315 billion dong, followed by MWG with around 195 billion.
Despite the day’s pullback, the VN-Index still rose by more than 67 points this week (about 3.8%), marking the fourth consecutive week of gains for the stock market.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise.
