After the previous day's decline, the market entered the trading session on April 29 with investors being cautious as the market entered the last trading session before the long holiday. The cautious sentiment made trading quite gloomy, with liquidity dropping sharply and the index fluctuation range remaining within a narrow range. Cash flow showed signs of slowing down from the beginning of the session and there was no clear improvement afterwards, reflecting hesitation in buying and selling actions.
The lack of clear driving force and the defensive mentality before the holiday caused the VN-Index to fluctuate mainly around the reference level, without creating any clear trend. Entering the afternoon session, trading was still slow. The market fluctuated with alternating increases and decreases.
At the end of the trading session, VN-Index decreased by 0.5 points (-0.04%) to 1,226.3 points. HNX-Index increased by 0.49 points (0.23%) to 211.94 points. UPCoM-Index increased by 0.17 points (0.18%) to 92.42 points.

VIC ranked first in terms of total market transactions with a value of VND893 billion. Some stocks also achieved relatively large transaction values such as SHB and TCB with liquidity of VND673 billion and VND478 billion respectively. Foreign investors net sold VND254 billion on the HOSE. Of which, this group of investors net sold the most VIC with VND242 billion. SAB and VPB followed with net selling values of VND100 billion and VND90 billion respectively. In the opposite direction, VRE was net bought the most with VND157 billion, MWG was also net bought with VND131 billion.
The entire market had 407 stocks increasing, 327 stocks decreasing and 838 stocks remaining unchanged/not traded. The number of stocks increasing to the ceiling in today's session was 25 while there were 11 stocks decreasing to the floor. The differentiation was relatively strong, but in the VN30 group, red was more dominant with 17 stocks, while there were 8 stocks increasing in price. SAB, VCB, VJC, HPG... were all immersed in red and put significant pressure on the general market. Of which, SAB fell sharply by 6.05% and took away 0.95 points from the VN-Index. VCB fell by 0.35% and took away 0.4 points from the VN-Index.
On the other hand, TCB, CTG, VRE… were the names that helped support the general market and significantly restrain the decline of the indices. Of which, TCB increased by 1.15% and contributed the most to the VN-Index with 0.5 points. CTG increased by 0.95% and contributed 0.45 points.
In the small and medium capitalization group, some stocks with high market factors (high liquidity small and medium capitalization) such as DXG, DXS, GEX, HSG... all increased in price well, which helped stabilize investor sentiment. Of which, DXG increased by 3.77%, GEX increased by 1.73%, HSG increased by 1.1%...
