Stock prices rose, VN-Index increased by 6 points.

Today's trading session (September 18th) saw positive developments in the stock market with increased demand, and the VN-Index rose nearly 6 points. At the close of trading, the VN-Index stood at 1,264.9 points, up 5.95 points (0.47%); the VN30-Index increased by 7.29 points (0.56%), reaching 1,310.94 points.

Rising stocks outnumbered falling stocks, with 231 advancing and 148 declining. Within the VN30 group, the number of advancing and declining stocks was 17 and 9 respectively.

Prior to the market opening, information circulating about the potential early implementation of pre-trading margin requirements for foreign institutions helped boost the performance of securities stocks.

At the close of trading, this was one of the few groups to gain over 1.5% in today's session, with most stocks showing gains; including SSI up 2.14%, HCM up 3.97%, SHS (2%), BSI (1.47%), VDS (3.91%), etc.

This group, due to its relatively small market capitalization, does not have a strong impact on the VN-Index, but it is a dynamic group that attracts significant capital flows, with SSI leading the market in liquidity; HCM, also a securities stock, ranks second. Besides high liquidity, SSI is also among the top 10 stocks contributing the most to the VN-Index.

Looking back at today's session, the market performed most positively towards the end of the morning and the beginning of the afternoon, with the Ho Chi Minh City stock exchange index rising by more than 12 points to over 1,270 points. However, after that, decreased demand slowed down the market's upward momentum.

In terms of sectors, 3 out of 4 groups saw gains, with telecommunications, media and entertainment, specialty services and trade, food and essential goods retail, securities, software, pharmaceuticals-biotechnology, and durable goods distribution and retail all rising by over 1%.

Going against the market trend were the insurance, real estate, materials, hardware, healthcare, and semiconductor sectors. As the largest capitalized group in the market, the banking sector contributed the most to the market's rise. Within this sector, CTG contributed the most to the VN-Index with 1 point; followed by VCB with nearly 0.7 points.

Improved demand led to a significant increase in liquidity compared to the previous session, reaching over 18,500 billion VND. A highlight was the continued net buying by foreign investors, who purchased over 1,920 billion VND and sold over 1,609 billion VND.

On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, liquidity also increased significantly, reaching over 1,100 billion VND. At the close of the session, the HNX-Index edged up 0.66 points (0.28%) to 232.95 points; the HNX30-Index closed at 506.51 points, up 2.09 points (0.41%).
