In terms of their impact on the index, the banking and oil and gas sectors played a supportive role, with STB, GAS, BSR , GVR, and LPB among the stocks contributing the most to the positive gains.

According to experts, the stock market is still maintaining an upward trend in the medium term, with the VN-Index holding a positive level for many consecutive sessions. However, the 1,900–1,920 point range is a notable resistance level, causing frequent market fluctuations due to increased profit-taking pressure.

Cash flow is also showing clear signs of divergence, prioritizing stocks that have not yet experienced rapid price increases or have unique stories related to business results and growth prospects in the second quarter.
