GVR experienced a ceiling price increase with a trading volume of nearly 9.5 million shares. This upward trend contributed to a 2-point increase for the VN-Index. Since the beginning of the year, this stock has seen a continuous increase with a rise of up to 30%.

BID rose nearly 3%, and with its market capitalization, it was enough to drive a strong increase in the VN-Index. Although the banking sector experienced some differentiation during the session, there were still several representatives that pushed the VN-Index higher, such as TCB, VCB, CTG. In the afternoon, the market did not see much participation from banking stocks, as SHB and HDB only had a slight negative impact of approximately 0.2 points.

Many large stocks from various sectors contributed to leading the market. HPG, MSN, MWG, HAH, PVD, VRE all performed well and contributed to the increase in points today.

By 10:17 AM, the total market liquidity reached over VND 6.4 trillion, and foreign investors were slightly net sellers.

Impressive debut of VTP

VN-Index opened with a slight increase, but the selling pressure was still dominant, causing the index to quickly reverse and decline.

By 9:30 AM, the banking group had the most negative impact on the index, including TCB, HDB, and CTG. The three major real estate stocks VIC, BCM, and VHM also contributed to this situation.

In the securities group, VCI and FTS were the rare gainers, although the increase was relatively small. The rest were mostly declining, with VIX decreasing by over 2%, VND decreasing by over 1%, MBS, CTS, VDS also decreasing by over 1%. Among these stocks, VIX is experiencing the strongest net selling by foreign investors.

HPG and MWG are also experiencing strong net selling by foreign investors. Although HPG is slightly down after announcing a profit plan of VND 10 trillion and issuing an additional 600 million shares.

The highlight of the market is VTP, which hit the daily price limit in its debut on the HOSE, pushing its market capitalization close to VND 10 trillion. With one more limit-up session, VTP will join the Large Cap group.
