However, towards the end of the session, a strong influx of capital into the market helped many stocks surge, especially in the oil and gas sector, thereby driving the indices higher.

At the close of trading, the VN-Index rose 17.46 points to 1,896.59 points, approaching the psychological mark of 1,900 points. Trading volume reached over 1.16 billion shares, equivalent to a value of nearly 37,555 billion VND. On the HOSE exchange, there were 167 gainers, 153 losers, and 57 unchanged stocks.

On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index rose 2.67 points to 254.95 points. Trading volume reached over 96.4 million shares, equivalent to a value of over 2,331.2 billion VND. Across the entire exchange, there were 68 gainers, 74 losers, and 68 unchanged stocks.

Meanwhile, the UPCOM-Index fell 0.7 points to 126.36 points. Trading volume reached over 72.2 million shares, with a value exceeding 1,088.8 billion VND. Across the entire exchange, 117 stocks increased in price, 123 decreased, and 95 remained unchanged.

The VN30 basket of stocks performed positively with 18 gainers, 9 losers, and 3 unchanged. Many stocks saw strong gains, such as GAS rising over 6%, GVR up 5.85%, while PLX hit its upper limit.

Oil and gas stocks became the bright spot in the market, with PLX hitting the ceiling price, and BSR, OIL, PVB, PVC, PVD, PVS, and TOS all closing in the green. Compared to the morning session, the green trend was also more pronounced in the banking sector, withACB , BID, CTG, HDB, EIB, TPB, etc., all rising in price.

The market was also supported by the real estate sector, with large-cap stocks like VIC and VHM rising, while capital flowed strongly into mid- and small-cap stocks in the sector. The remaining stock groups generally showed mixed performance, with a mix of gains and losses.

Foreign investors returned to net buying today, ending a four-session streak of net selling. Accordingly, foreign investors bought over 11,200 billion VND, while the value of sales was approximately 10,700 billion VND.

Overall, the return of large capital flows, strongly concentrated in leading stock groups such as oil and gas, banking, and real estate, helped the market recover positively in the afternoon session. The VN-Index approaching the 1,900-point mark shows that investor sentiment remains optimistic, although the market still has the potential for divergence and volatility in the coming sessions.
