VN-Index rose more than 6 points in the first trading session of the week.

Strong buying pressure on large-cap stocks gradually increased in the afternoon session of August 12, helping the VN-Index rise by 6.64 points, extending its two-session winning streak to 1,230 points.

Ahead of the start of trading this week, many securities companies still maintain a cautious stance despite the index's strong recovery at the end of last week.

According to Agriseco, the VN-Index has regained the 1,200-point mark, but this may be a technical rebound, and the market will need another correction to form a second bottom before returning to an upward trend. Therefore, investors are advised to disburse funds when the market has formed a second bottom or when the market forms an equilibrium zone, prioritizing the investment in leading stocks and stocks in the VN30 group when they have reached oversold levels.

In fact, the morning session at the beginning of the week also showed that the VN-Index traded in a not-so-euphoric state as large-cap stocks faced intense tug-of-war pressure. The index briefly fell below the reference level, but quickly recovered and edged up slightly to nearly 1,227 points.

Selling pressure reappeared in the VN30 group after the lunch break, causing the index to trade in the red. However, strong buying pressure before the close helped the VN-Index reverse course quickly before closing at 1,230 points, up 6.64 points from the reference point, extending its winning streak for two consecutive sessions.

Today, the Ho Chi Minh City stock exchange saw 238 stocks gain, outnumbering the 168 stocks that declined. The VN30 basket contributed positively to the upward trend, with 19 stocks closing above the reference price and only 8 declining.

FPT accumulated 2.44% compared to the reference price, reaching 130,000 VND, becoming the main driving force for the market's increase. Many representatives of the banking group also contributed to the list of stocks with the most positive impact on the VN-Index. Specifically, MBB increased 1.07% to 23,700 VND, VPB increased 0.83% to 18,150 VND, and CTG increased 0.63% to 31,700 VND.

The oil and gas sector joined the market's bullish momentum, with most stocks closing in positive territory. Specifically, PLX rose 1.8% to 48,850 VND, GAS increased 1.1% to 82,500 VND, PVD gained 0.9% to 26,850 VND, and PVT surged 0.7% to 28,300 VND. Similarly, the fertilizer sector also contributed significantly to today's gains. Two key stocks, DCM and DPM, rose 1.2% to 36,750 VND and 0.7% to 36,000 VND respectively.

The green color also dominated the aviation stock group. Specifically, HVN rose to its maximum limit of 20,350 VND today and closed with no sellers. Next, SGN increased 0.8% to 84,000 VND, and VJC increased 0.2% to 101,100 VND.

Conversely, the real estate sector saw sluggish trading. VHM led the negative impact on the index, falling 1.88% to 36,500 VND. VIC followed closely behind, declining 1.46% to 40,600 VND. Other real estate stocks such as DIG, NVL, and BCM fell by approximately 0.4-3.7% compared to the reference price.

Trading volume at the start of the week was approximately 551 million shares, a decrease of 36 million units compared to the previous session. Consequently, trading value decreased by 244 billion VND, to 14,033 billion VND. This was the session with the lowest liquidity in nearly half a month. The VN30 basket contributed approximately 207 million shares to the trading volume and liquidity reached over 7,608 billion VND.

FPT led the market in liquidity with a trading value of over 797 billion VND (equivalent to more than 6.2 million shares). Following closely behind were DIG with over 751 billion VND (equivalent to approximately 34.3 million shares) and MWG with over 729 billion VND (equivalent to 11 million shares).

Foreign investors maintained a net buying position for the second consecutive session. Specifically, today foreign investors disbursed over VND 1,597 billion to buy 43.4 million shares, while only selling over VND 1,564 billion worth of shares. The net buying value therefore reached VND 33.6 billion.

Foreign investors focused their capital inflows on HDB shares, with a net purchase value exceeding 205 billion VND. FPT followed in terms of attracting foreign capital, with a net purchase value of over 150 billion VND. Meanwhile, foreign investors heavily sold VJC shares, with a net sale value of over 254 billion VND. Next were HPG (approximately 54 billion VND) and DGC (approximately 45 billion VND).
