However, the HNX-Index turned red, losing 0.27% to close at 217.35 points. The market breadth was positive, with 338 gainers and 308 losers.

However, most securities and insurance stocks witnessed slight corrections.
The real estate sector followed a similar pattern, with most stocks in the industry trading in negative territory, but the gains in VIC (+1.63%), NVL (+0.83%), SSH (+0.69%), and others helped the sector index barely stay in the green.
Foreign investors remained net buyers, injecting nearly 1.1 trillion dong into the three exchanges in the morning session alone. FPT was the most net bought stock, followed by VPB, HPG, and MWG, with net purchases of over 130 billion dong each.
