With widespread gains, the VN-Index rose more than 11 points during the trading session on February 4th.

Investor sentiment became less pessimistic, leading to a complete dominance of green on the trading screen on February 4th. Many stocks that had fallen on February 3rd rebounded today.

In contrast to the red-covered opening session of the Lunar New Year 2025, a significant improvement in investor sentiment, as the domestic market benefited from positive signals on international exchanges, led to a more positive trading session on February 4th.

From the start of the session, the main index showed some improvement; however, the upward momentum was not truly sustainable as demand remained cautious, awaiting clearer signals from leading stocks. Money tended to concentrate on mid- and small-cap stocks, causing many in this group to surge. Meanwhile, large-cap stocks, although recovering compared to the previous session, showed clear divergence. Some stocks in this group played a supporting role, helping the index maintain its positive performance until the end of the morning session.

In the afternoon trading session, positive sentiment spread further across the market, driven by gains in banking, securities, and steel stocks. This helped all three indices maintain positive performance until the end of the session.

At the close of trading, the VN-Index rose 11.65 points (0.93%) to 1,264.68 points. The HNX-Index increased 3.12 points (1.4%) to 226.61 points. The UPCoM-Index rose 0.8 points (0.85%) to 95.31 points. Across the three exchanges, a total of 548 stocks rose, while 217 fell and 807 remained unchanged. The market saw 31 stocks hit their upper limit, while only 5 hit their lower limit.

Bank stocks were the focus of heavy selling pressure yesterday but rebounded today. These "blue-chip" stocks were a key driver in maintaining the VN-Index's positive performance today. CTG, in particular, surged 3.6%, contributing 1.7 points to the VN-Index. TCB also rose 1.65%, contributing 0.67%. Stocks like MBB, VCB, VPB, BID, etc., all saw significant price increases.

The securities sector also saw positive movements, with VND unexpectedly surging to its ceiling price of 12,400 VND/share. In addition, another securities stock, SHS, also increased by nearly 7% to 13,800 VND/share. The strong gains in VND and SHS helped spread capital to many other securities stocks, including VIX (up 3.15%), AGR (up 2.7%), MBS (up 2.2%), etc.

Besides the banking sector, large-cap stocks such as HPG and PLX also saw simultaneous price increases. Additionally,FPT , after yesterday's sell-off, recovered, rising 0.48% to 146,200 VND per share.

HPG rose 1.7% today. Other steel stocks such as NKG, HSG, TVN… also saw strong price increases. The steel sector surged strongly in line with the public investment sector, with CTD reaching its ceiling price, KSB rising 4.7%, and PLC increasing 3.6%.

Market liquidity remained at a similar level to the previous session. The total trading volume on the HoSE reached 660.3 million shares, equivalent to a transaction value of VND 15,325 billion, an increase of nearly 10% compared to the previous session, of which block trades contributed VND 2,274 billion. The transaction value on the HNX and UPCoM reached VND 946 billion and VND 562 billion respectively.

Foreign investors continued their strong net selling position with a total value of VND 970 billion across the market. However, compared to yesterday's net selling value (VND 1,400 billion), the selling pressure has eased somewhat. The strongest net selling by foreign investors was in VNM shares with VND 306 billion. LPB and FPT were also subject to net selling of VND 242 billion and VND 159 billion respectively. Conversely, HPG was the most heavily bought stock with VND 45 billion, followed by GEX with a net buying value of VND 22 billion.

Investor sentiment became less pessimistic, leading to a complete dominance of green on the trading screen on February 4th. Many stocks that had fallen on February 3rd rebounded today.
