Shares of Vingroup and Vietcombank rose 3.5% and 5.7% respectively, lifting the VN-Index above the reference by 13 points, even as the HoSE market saw more than 200 stocks decline.
Today’s VN-Index chart was largely green. In the morning, the index traded mainly in the 1,870–1,880 point range, briefly testing the 1,890 level but failing to hold above it. Although the level improved, the number of advancing and declining stocks on HoSE remained fairly balanced. Near mid-morning, declines became more dominant, creating a “green on the outside, red at heart” picture.
In the afternoon, the number of falling stocks increased to more than 200, about twice the number of gainers, but the index still stayed above the reference. After 2 p.m., more than three-quarters of HoSE stocks were in the red. The VN-Index then slipped below the reference but did not fall deeply and recovered quickly.
At the close, the VN-Index rose by more than 13 points to above 1,870, the highest level since early March.
Gains were led mainly by VIC and VCB, contributing more than 12 points and more than 6 points respectively to the VN-Index.
VIC (Vingroup) rose 3.5% to 214,500 dong per share, the highest closing price in history. Liquidity reached over 910 billion dong, with about half of the trades coming from active buyers.
VCB (Vietcombank) was the most actively traded stock, with over 2,195 billion dong. More than 53% of matched trades were buy-initiated. The stock closed up 5.7% at 62,800 dong per unit and briefly hit the upside limit during the session on large trading volume.
After VIC and VCB rose, real estate and banking stocks also moved higher. NVL gained 2.4%, though it at times approached the ceiling. BID closed above the reference by about 3.4%, while CTG gained 1.7%.
HoSE liquidity increased nearly 37% to nearly 29.3 trillion dong, the highest in about two weeks.
Foreign trading remained a drag, with continued selling of around 1.653 trillion dong. Stocks with net selling of more than 100 billion dong included FPT, ACB, VHM, VCB, CTG, and BSR.
The session marked two consecutive days of gains, supported mainly by a few stocks, notably Vingroup. In a report yesterday, VCBS said that given the market’s polarization, investors could use pullbacks or pauses during sessions to deploy funds, prioritizing groups that have built bases at deep discount levels or groups that have just broken out of bases.
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. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
