Trading session on April 15 continued to be buoyant, helping the market open with a gap higher. However, profit-taking pressure appeared in several sectors in the afternoon, causing the index to pause at times. With support from the bellwether stocks, the VN-Index closed up 25 points (+1.41%), surpassing the key psychological level and ending at 1,800.65 points. Liquidity on HoSE remained solid, with total trading volume exceeding 910.7 million shares, equivalent to over 24.431 trillion dong in value. The VN30 basket rose 15.05 points to 1,961.60, with trading value over 12.339 trillion dong. Market focus was on the ‘Vingroup’ group stocks as they surged across the board. VIC hit the ceiling with a 6.9% gain, VHM rose 6.3%, and VPL and VRE gained 5%. Statistics show VIC alone contributed 18.75 points to the VN-Index, while VHM contributed a further 7.04 points, making it the main engine helping the index clear 1,800 points. Additionally, the market was aided by some bank and aviation stocks. Names such as VCB (+1%), SHB (+2%), and VJC (+6.8%) remained green, contributing 1.07, 0.32 and 1.43 points to the overall rise. On the downside, after the previous rally, the steel sector weakened due to short-term profit-taking. Leading names such as HPG (-1.8%), HSG (-1.2%), NKG (-1.7%), and VGS (-2.4%) fell. Among blue chips, STB, MWG, and FPT also turned lower, adding pressure to the market. Foreign investors returned to net selling on HoSE, to the tune of 274.34 billion dong. Selling pressure was strongest in FPT (432.35 billion), followed by VHM (119.56 billion) and STB (87.52 billion). On the buy side, foreigners snapped up VIC strongly at 374.2 billion, along with VCB (64.75 billion) and SSI (62 billion). The market's rally on April 15 was driven not only by cash flow but also supported by positive macro information. The cooling of the US-Iran talks helped ease concerns about disruption to energy supply, thereby dampening the pace of oil price increases globally. Domestically, expectations of a market upgrade by FTSE Russell continued to generate positive sentiment. At the same time, the market entered the first-quarter 2026 earnings season, with initial indications showing banks' profits were solid and real estate showed signs of recovery, attracting funds. Analysts view VN-Index closing above 1,800 as a signal of mid-term uptrend. However, the divergence among stock groups suggests funds are rotating and screening strongly.
