VN-Index increased more than 6 points in the first session of the week

Demand for large-cap stocks gradually increased in the afternoon session of August 12, helping the VN-Index increase by 6.64 points, continuing two consecutive sessions of increase to 1,230 points.

Before the first trading session of the week, many securities companies still maintained a cautious stance despite the index having a strong recovery last weekend.

According to Agriseco, VN-Index has regained the 1,200-point mark, but this may be a technical recovery and the market will need another correction to form a second bottom, before returning to the uptrend. Therefore, investors are recommended to disburse when the market has formed a second bottom or when the market forms a balance zone, prioritizing disbursement of leading stocks, stocks in the VN30 group when they have reached the oversold zone.

In fact, the first morning session of the week also showed that the VN-Index was trading in a not-so-excited state when the large-cap basket was under intense pressure. The index fell below the reference point at one point, but quickly regained green and edged up 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, the buying force gradually increased before closing time, helping the VN-Index quickly reverse upward before closing at 1,230 points, up 6.64 points compared to the reference to extend the two-session winning streak.

Today, the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange had 238 stocks gaining points, outnumbering the number of stocks losing points with 168 codes. The VN30 basket contributed positively to the excitement when 19 codes closed above the reference and only 8 codes decreased.

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

The oil and gas group joined the market's excitement when most stocks closed in the green. Specifically, PLX increased by 1.8% to VND48,850, GAS increased by 1.1% to VND82,500, PVD increased by 0.9% to VND26,850 and PVT increased by 0.7% to VND28,300. Similarly, the fertilizer group also contributed significantly to today's increase. The two pillar codes DCM and DPM increased by 1.2% to VND36,750 and 0.7% to VND36,000, respectively.

Green also dominated the group of airline stocks. Specifically, HVN today increased to the full range to 20,350 VND and closed with no sellers. Next, SGN increased 0.8% to 84,000 VND, VJC increased 0.2% to 101,100 VND.

On the other hand, the real estate group recorded less exciting transactions. VHM led the negative impact on the index when it decreased by 1.88% to 36,500 VND. VIC ranked right after when it decreased by 1.46% to 40,600 VND. Other representatives of the real estate group such as DIG, NVL, BCM decreased by about 0.4-3.7% compared to the reference.
