VN-Index maintains positive trend.

VN-Index increased by 4.08 points.

The domestic stock market opened this morning with the main index maintaining a positive trend throughout the session. However, liquidity was very low compared to yesterday's session, indicating investor caution at high price levels.

Although the main index rose, only a few stocks in the VN30 basket showed gains. Notably, VIC was the strongest performer, even hitting its upper limit. This stock also played a key role in driving the VN-Index's gains this morning, contributing approximately 9 points to the overall market. This increase also spread to several stocks within the VinGroup ecosystem, such as VHM and VPL.

VNM was also a rare bright spot in the VN30 basket, closing the session with a 0.79% increase.

In other sectors such as Aviation, Information Technology, and Essential Consumer Goods, gains were only seen in a few individual stocks. These include DBC, SCS, ELC, and CMG.

On the downside, MBB and VJC were the two stocks that contributed most to the decline in the main index, falling by about 1-2%.

The gains in some sectors such as Banking and Securities yesterday afternoon have also vanished this morning. CTG, LPB, VCI, and SHS fell by around 1%.

Oil and gas, chemicals, building materials, and infrastructure construction also recorded less than positive developments.

Foreign investors recorded a net selling value of approximately 602 billion VND this morning.

VN-Index maintains positive momentum thanks to Vingroup.

At the close of trading on December 5th, the VN-Index rose 4.08 points to 1,741.32 points. Trading volume reached over 658 million shares, equivalent to nearly 20,054 billion VND. Across the entire exchange, there were 101 gainers, 211 losers, and 54 stocks unchanged.

On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index fell 1.66 points to 260.65 points with over 64.4 million shares traded, equivalent to more than 1,233 billion VND. The UPCoM-Index decreased 0.45 points to 120.49 points, with a trading volume of 49.4 million shares, equivalent to 579 billion VND.

Notably, the VN-Index's rise was primarily driven by Vingroup-related stocks. Within the VN30 basket, 24 stocks declined, only 3 increased, and 3 remained unchanged. However, VIC – the largest capitalized stock – surged by 6.97% to 142,800 VND/share; VHM also increased by 1.71%. These two stocks played a crucial role in balancing the majority of the VN30 basket's decline. Conversely, the banking, securities, oil and gas, and real estate sectors all declined, indicating that if the impact of Vingroup-related stocks is considered separately, the overall market performance was negative.

Foreign investors resumed net selling with a total value of VND 677 billion across the market. On the HOSE, foreign investors net sold VND 605 billion, concentrated in VIC (VND 137 billion), SSI (VND 137 billion),ACB (VND 114 billion), and VIX (VND 77 billion); on the HNX, foreign investors net sold VND 64 billion, concentrated in MBS, PVS, CEO, and SHS. On UPCOM, foreign investors net sold VND 8 billion, mainly in ACV, AVG, and MFS…

Although the index maintained its positive momentum, negative market breadth and slightly declining liquidity indicate that cautious sentiment persists. The VN-Index's rise was primarily driven by large-cap stocks, meaning the risk of a short-term correction remains, especially as foreign investors resumed strong net selling.

In the coming sessions, the market may fluctuate within a narrow range, heavily dependent on the performance of blue-chip stocks (stocks of reputable companies with solid financial situations and large market capitalization), especially Vingroup stocks, along with domestic capital flows in leading sectors such as banking and securities.
