VN-Index continues to rise.

(NLĐO) - Despite unfavorable news from the Middle East, the Vietnamese stock market recorded its second consecutive day of recovery at the beginning of the week.

Entering the trading session on April 13th, domestic investor sentiment was inevitably weighed down by the new and increasingly complex developments in the conflict in the Middle East. The VN-Index opened hesitantly in the red at 1,738.57 points and continuously experienced periods of volatility and decline.

However, persistent buying pressure at lower price levels helped the index gradually regain equilibrium. At the close of trading, the VN-Index marked its second consecutive day of gains, rising 8.96 points (+0.51%) to 1,758.96 points. Market liquidity remained stable with a total trading volume of over 867 million shares, equivalent to a transaction value of over 22,172 billion VND.

Regarding foreign investor activity, this group of investors maintained a slight net selling position with a value of over 102 billion VND on the HoSE exchange, a move indicating a cautious, trial-and-error approach.

The most notable aspect of today's session was the extremely clear "green outside, red inside" phenomenon. Although the VN-Index rose nearly 9 points, the VN30 basket showed intense tug-of-war, only increasing modestly by 2.57 points.

Besides the pull from Vingroup, the Real Estate sector also saw active speculative capital flows with several bright spots such as CII (+6.7%), NVL (+2.4%), and DXG (+1.3%). The Securities sector witnessed divergence as capital flowed into a few specific stocks like HCM (+2.4%) and VPX (+2.5%), creating localized support on the trading board.
