To recap, in the past two weeks, after a continuous increase, the banking stock group started to lose momentum but bounced back in the trading session on February 5.
* Banking stocks drag down VN-Index for two consecutive weeks
Regarding the significant increase of banking stocks on February 5, Mr. Tran Truong Manh Hieu – Head of Strategy Analysis Department at KIS Vietnam Securities Company, suggested that it might be due to some capital flows from investment funds, but there is no data to confirm.
Usually, before Tet holiday, the market is not active, and liquidity is low. Therefore, just a capital flow can push the sector up.
“I think this morning there was a capital flow into the banking stock group, thereby creating positive sentiment for investors,” Mr. Hieu predicted.
However, at present, banking stocks have increased significantly compared to the period of December 2023. Mr. Hieu believes that if disbursement is made during this period, it will be quite risky, especially before the Lunar New Year. If disbursement is made before Tet, there is a possibility that some negative information will affect this group of stocks.

On February 5, CTG stock reached its ceiling price at VND 33,900/share, while BID increased by 3.73% to VND 48,650/share; MBB increased by 5.52% to VND 22,950/share, ACB increased by 5.9% to VND 27,800/share, etc. VCB stock was the only banking stock that decreased by 0.33% in that session, to VND 90,000/share. |
In addition, in the trading session on February 5, many banking stocks increased by 4-5%, even CTG stock reached its ceiling price. If disbursement is made at this time, the risk is extremely high.
According to observations, usually after a sharp increase of a major stock group in a session, the next session will stabilize, so the risk is very high. If investors want to participate in the banking stock group, they have to wait for 1-2 sessions, even after Tet, and wait for other stories.
