At the end of the morning session, all three exchanges maintained their upward momentum, with the VN-Index gaining over 4.5 points to temporarily stand above 1,286 points.

Conversely, GLT and EBS witnessed sharp declines from the beginning of the session, falling by 2.91% and 8.87%, respectively.

However, there was a clear divergence in the electrical equipment group.

10:40 am: Real Estate Sector Creates Obstacles, VN-Index Continues to Fluctuate

The agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sector led the market with a gain of 2.4%, driven by HAG (+0.8%), VIF (+9.94%), NSC (+0.92%), and others.
Following closely was the food and beverage sector, which contributed to the overall market gain with a rise of 0.93%. This increase was mainly driven by large-cap stocks such as VNM (+1.21%), MSN (+1.32%), SAB (+0.48%), and DBC (+1.93%). The majority of the remaining stocks in this sector remained unchanged. As of 10:40 am, the trading value reached over 610 billion VND, with a volume of nearly 15 million units.
Regarding BDC, from a technical perspective, the stock’s price surged in the morning session, accompanied by an increase in trading volume above the 20-session average, indicating more active trading. However, as the price of PVT is testing the old peak of March-April 2022 (corresponding to the 36,500-38,500 range), the emergence of a bearish divergence in the MACD and Stochastic Oscillator indicators suggests a less optimistic scenario. If these signals do not improve in the coming sessions, a correction may occur, with the SMA 50 and SMA 100 serving as strong support levels.
