VTV.vn - At the close of trading on January 13, the VN-Index stood at 1,902.93 points, an increase of 25.6 points compared to the previous session.

After failing to conquer the 1,900-point mark in the morning session of January 13th, the Vietnamese stock market surged strongly in the afternoon, helping the VN-Index officially surpass this important psychological threshold at closing. Right in the first few sessions of the new year, the index continuously reached new highs amidst a massive influx of capital into the market.

At the close of trading on January 13th, the VN-Index stood at 1,902.93 points, up 25.6 points from the previous session. On other exchanges, the HNX-Index rose 0.97 points to 252.85 points, while the UPCOM-Index increased 0.79 points to 123.35 points, indicating a positive trend spreading across the market.

Market liquidity remained high, reflecting the clear bullish sentiment of investors. Total trading value reached over 33,800 billion VND, with the HOSE exchange alone contributing the majority. Market breadth strongly favored buyers, with 390 stocks rising and 42 hitting the ceiling price; conversely, 339 stocks fell and 12 hit the floor price.

The focus of the trading session continued to be on the financial sector, especially securities stocks. The VIX surged 6.78%, maintaining its upward momentum with high liquidity. Stocks like HCM (up 5.59%), SSI (up 0.92%), VND (up 0.73%), and SHS (up 0.97%) also traded positively, playing a significant role in pushing the index upwards.

In the banking sector, performance was clearly divergent. Large-cap stocks such as VCB (up 1.79%), BID (up 3.55%), VPB (up 0.99%), and HDB (up 0.89%) continued to support the market. Conversely, MBB (down 2.3%), ACB (down 2.35%), TCB (down 1.71%), TPB (down 1.65%), andSHB (down 1.76%) faced downward pressure.

The real estate sector recorded many positive signs, led by key stocks. VHM rose 2.92%, VIC rose 2.57%, and VRE rose 2.91%, all contributing to the upward momentum of the VN-Index. Notably, the energy sector surged strongly as speculative capital returned. Many oil and gas stocks hit their upper limit or saw significant gains, such as PVS (up 10%), PLX (up 6.96%), BSR (up 6.89%), and PVD (up 6.87%).

In the consumer sector, MSN rose 0.89% and VNM increased 0.96%, maintaining positive gains, while MWG fell 0.46% and FRT faced downward pressure. The information technology sector traded less positively, withFPT declining 0.6%, in contrast to VGI's 4.19% increase.

Regarding foreign investor transactions, foreign investors sold a net of approximately 489 billion VND on the HOSE exchange. Stocks experiencing significant net selling included GMD (267.9 billion VND), SHB (184.1 billion VND), VRE (136.9 billion VND), ACB (134.5 billion VND), and STB (105 billion VND). Conversely, foreign investors bought a net of several key stocks such as VCB (510.3 billion VND), VPB (201.5 billion VND), BID (166.4 billion VND), and VIX (133.2 billion VND), thereby partially offsetting the selling pressure.

The fact that the VN-Index officially surpassed the 1,900-point mark shows that the upward trend is still dominant in the short term, with the main driving force coming from strong capital inflows and the leadership of key blue-chip stocks.

However, the divergence in performance across different sectors, along with net selling by foreign investors, suggests that the market may experience some volatility in the coming sessions.

With the index reaching new highs, investors are likely to continue prioritizing a selective stock strategy, focusing on sectors that attract capital and have strong fundamentals, rather than chasing a broad range of stocks.
