The green color spread thanks to the leadership of large-cap stocks and banks, amid a clear improvement in cash flow ahead of the new year.

At the close of trading on December 30th, the VN-Index rose by over 12 points to 1,766.9 points. Trading volume reached over 639.6 billion VND. Across the entire exchange, there were 168 gainers, 142 losers, and 62 unchanged stocks.

The HNX-Index fell 0.72 points to 250.5 points. Trading volume reached over 94.6 million shares, equivalent to over 1,899.5 billion VND. Across the entire exchange, 56 stocks increased in price, 74 decreased, and 68 remained unchanged.

The UPCOM-Index rose 0.54 points to 120.75 points. Trading volume reached over 25.8 million shares, equivalent to over 362 billion VND. Across the entire exchange, there were 141 gainers, 89 losers, and 90 unchanged stocks.

The main driving force behind the VN-Index's sustained upward momentum came from the strong recovery of large-cap stocks. The VN30 basket recorded 22 gainers and only 8 losers. Notably, DGC hit its ceiling price, while VIC rose 2.07%,FPT 2.33%, VPB 2.5%, GVR 2.31%, etc., contributing to the index's upward trend.

The banking sector also turned green with a series of stocks rising in price such as ABB, ACB, BID, CTG, HDB, MBB,SHB , STB, TCB, VCB, VPB… In addition, the information technology sector stocks all improved and no stocks recorded price declines.

Conversely, the real estate sector showed mixed performance with both gains and losses, while the securities, oil and gas, and insurance sectors continued to face selling pressure, leading to widespread losses.

Regarding foreign investor transactions, foreign investors returned to strong net buying with a value of approximately 981 billion VND across the entire market, including nearly 1,000 billion VND in net buying on the HOSE. However, foreign investors still net sold some large-cap stocks such as VIC, VHM, and VCB. On the HNX and UPCOM, foreign investors net sold nearly 6 billion VND and 13 billion VND respectively.

The upward movement, led by blue-chip stocks, indicates that market sentiment is gradually stabilizing and the short-term recovery trend is strengthening. With signs of capital returning ahead of the new year, the VN-Index is likely to continue testing higher resistance levels, although the risk of volatility remains as profit-taking pressure may increase in some sectors.
