The VN-Index extended its uptrend on 06/05/2026, with trading volume staying above the 20-day moving average, suggesting improving investor sentiment. The Stochastic Oscillator crossed above the Signal line, indicating that near-term downside risk appears limited.
All major indices rose during the session. The VN-Index gained 0.87% to close at 1,891.2 points, while the HNX-Index increased 0.42% to 248.46 points.
Trading activity also improved. On HOSE, volume rose 12.3% to more than 788 million shares. On HNX, volume reached 52 million shares, up 4.9% versus the previous session.
Foreign investors continued net selling, with net sell value of about 1.1 trillion dong on HOSE and about 2 billion dong on HNX.
At the start of the session, buying remained selective and profit-taking pressure on previously leading stocks increased, pulling the VN-Index below the reference level after more than an hour. In the afternoon, sentiment improved as buying momentum returned and broadened across multiple sectors, helping the index recover to green and extend gains into the close.
Market breadth improved notably in the Large Cap and Mid Cap segments, supporting the ongoing uptrend as capital flows spread more widely than in prior sessions.
In terms of influence on the VN-Index, VCB, STB and TCB were the top positive contributors, adding nearly 3 points. The largest negative drag came from MCH, FPT and NVL, but the impact was modest at around 1.5 points.
VN30-Index rose 21.11 points (+1.04%) to 2,053.41 points. The buy side led with 24 gainers, 3 losers and 3 unchanged. DGC was the top gainer with a 5.3% increase, followed by SSI, VRE and STB, each up more than 3%. FPT recorded the biggest decline among VN30 constituents, down 1.3%.
Financials were the strongest sector, supported by demand in securities and banks. Notable gainers included VIX and HCM hitting the daily limit up, along with SSI (+4.4%), SHS (+4.79%), VND (+4.06%), VCI (+3.52%), ORS (+4.18%), VCK (+2.35%), STB (+3.45%), ACB (+2.21%), TCB (+1.8%), VCB (+1%), EIB (+2.09%) and LPB (+2.7%).
Consumer staples and non-essential consumer stocks also traded positively, with several gainers such as POW (+5.13%), GAS (+1.93%), KOS (+1.2%), REE (+1.15%) and GEG (+1.75%). Other notable increases included MWG (+1.42%), VPL (+2.27%) and HHS (+2.73%).
By contrast, media and information technology were the least positive sectors, as leading stocks faced heavier selling pressure, including VGI (-1.57%), FOX (-0.76%) and FPT (-1.35%).
The VN-Index maintained its uptrend with volume above the 20-session average, pointing to improving investor sentiment. The Stochastic Oscillator crossing above the Signal line suggests downside risk is not large.
The HNX-Index paused its decline, but turnover remained below the 20-day average. The near-term outlook remains cautious, as MACD and the Stochastic Oscillator weakened after earlier negative signals.
Smart money: The Negative Volume Index for the VN-Index remains above the 20-day EMA. If this condition persists into the next session, the risk of an unexpected sharp drop is considered limited.
Foreign money: Foreign selling continued on 06/05/2026. If foreign investors maintain this behavior in upcoming sessions, downside pressure could return.
