Vietnam’s stock market kicked off the new week on a positive note, in line with the global market trend. The VN-Index remained in the green for most of the trading session, led by strong performances from several pillar stocks such as TCB and VIC.
The upward momentum intensified towards the end of the session as buying interest became more decisive. Sectors such as banking, securities, and industrial parks generally witnessed an upturn, while steel and real estate sectors experienced some fluctuations.
At the close of the session on May 12, the VN-Index rose by 15.96 points (+1.26%), climbing to 1,283.26. Trading liquidity improved compared to the previous week, with a matching value of nearly VND 20,000 billion. However, foreign transactions remained a downside, with a net sell-off of nearly VND 300 billion in the entire market.
