VN-Index surged on the first day the KRX system began operating.

With the new system, there are several key changes to trading, such as: ATC orders (orders used to trade securities at the closing price) and ATO orders (orders to trade securities at the opening price of the session) are no longer prioritized; instead, time and volume are used as criteria.

Restricted securities will be traded throughout the day, but in periodic order matching sessions, each lasting 15 minutes, with only even lots allowed; odd lots and negotiated transactions are not permitted.

Regarding order cancellation and modification, investors can no longer modify both the price and volume simultaneously as before; instead, they must modify them sequentially, changing the priority order of the orders...

Overall, according to some investors, the new system operated smoothly during the first trading session.

On the Ho Chi Minh City stock exchange, immediately after opening, investors enthusiastically bought shares, helping the index rise nearly 9 points to above 1,235 points. Afterward, the market slowed down. By the end of the morning trading session, the VN-Index closed at 1,231.13 points, up 4.83 points.

In the afternoon trading session, the market performed more positively, especially towards the end of the session when demand increased sharply, helping the VN-Index rise even more. At the close of the session, the VN-Index stood at 1,240.05 points, up 13.75 points (1.12%); the VN30-Index reached 1,320.41 points after gaining 10.68 points (0.82%).

Rising stocks outnumbered falling stocks, with 233 showing gains and 85 showing losses. Within the VN30 group, the number of rising stocks was nearly three times greater than the number of declining stocks (19 and 7 respectively).

Real estate was the most prominent sector in the session, with most stocks rising. Among them, VinGroup's stocks, including VHM, VIC, and VRE, contributed a total of over 5 points. VHM contributed the most to the market with 2.52 points, followed by VIC (nearly 1.9 points), and VRE contributing 0.7 points.

In addition, the automotive and components, raw materials, consumer goods and decorations, and transportation sectors also performed well.

The food, beverage and tobacco; insurance; software; healthcare; and consumer services sectors bucked the market trend, but the declines were not significant, with no sector falling by more than 1%.

However, market liquidity remained low, with over 14.3 trillion VND changing hands, perhaps partly because the system was only recently put into operation, and many investors were unfamiliar with it and therefore hesitant to trade.

Foreign investors were net buyers. This group purchased over 2,051 billion VND and sold over 1,923 billion VND.

On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, at market close, the HNX-Index stood at 212.81 points, up 0.87 points (0.41%); the HNX30-Index reached 417.38 points, up 5.1 points (1.24%). Over 700 billion VND worth of shares changed hands across the entire exchange.
