– The two recent sharp declines have raised caution, and market liquidity was very subdued on November 5. Although the index fell to the old bottom, buyers still did not show any significant moves, and the VN-Index fluctuated within a narrow range throughout the morning session. In the afternoon session, a few pillar stocks unexpectedly surged, helping the index quickly gain more than 4 points. However, this positive momentum was not sustained, and sellers once again pulled the index back to a stalemate around the reference level. At the close, the VN-Index edged up more than 1 point, or 0.08%, to 1,245.76 points.
– In terms of impact, HVN, GVR, and HPG were the stocks that had the most positive impact on the VN-Index today, helping the index gain more than 1.5 points. On the contrary, CTG, BID, and GAS exerted the most significant pressure, taking away nearly 1.5 points from the VN-Index.
– The VN30-Index closed up 0.05% at 1,313.35. The basket had a balanced breadth with 11 gainers, 9 losers, and 10 stocks closing unchanged. Among them, GVR led with a standout gain of 1.7%, while CTG was the most dominated by selling pressure, finishing at the bottom with a 1.8% decline. The remaining stocks fluctuated slightly around the reference level.
In terms of sectors, on the upside, telecoms continued to shine, surging nearly 3% led by VGI (+4.01%), FOX (+1.13%), and CTR (+0.4%). This was followed by materials and industrials, which also attracted positive buying interest. Bright green colors were visible in GVR (+1.74%), HPG (+0.76%), NTP (+1.07%); VEA (+1.8%), HVN (+5.56%), VTP (+4.47%), TMS (+1.82%), HAH (+0.92%), and SGP (+2.18%).

In the financial group, the stocks that recorded notable declines were CTG (-1.82%), OCB (-1.38%), VIX (-1.4%), TVS (-2.76%), BIC (-1.82%), and APS (-1.49%).

The VN-Index rebounded with a slight gain, coupled with a sharp drop in trading volume below the 20-day average. This indicates that investor sentiment remains cautious after the recent declines. Currently, the Stochastic Oscillator and MACD indicators continue to decline after giving sell signals. This suggests that the short-term outlook remains uncertain.
