The duo of VIC and VHM are currently the two main pillars contributing the most positively, helping the VN-Index gain more than 7 points (with VIC alone contributing more than 5 points). On the other hand, VPL, FPT, and LPB had a notable negative impact, taking away about 2 points from the overall index.
Most sectors are currently dominated by red hues. The real estate sector, despite recording an outstanding 2.65% increase, saw this number contributed mainly by VIC‘s ceiling price, along with VHM (+3.28%), VRE (+0.61%), VPI (+2.45%), and KDH (+0.87%). The majority of the remaining stocks traded around the reference threshold or even fell sharply, such as BCM (-1.8%), SIP (-2.8%), IDC (-2.14%), SJS (-3.17%), SZC (-1.04%), and DXS (-2.17%).
The financial sector is also experiencing clear differentiation. Bank and insurance stocks rose and fell alternately, with a slight advantage for the buying side, while securities were dominated by red hues, with many stocks falling by more than 1%, including VCI, HCM, FTS, MBS, BSI, CTS, VDS, ORS, and BVS, among others.
Information technology and telecommunications are the two temporary “bottom” markets with significant pressure from FPT (-1.65%), VGI (-1.66%), CTR (-2.45%), FOX (-1.51%), SGT (-1.12%), and ELC (-1.12%).
Foreign investors continued to net sell slightly more than 87 billion VND on all three exchanges this morning. MSN, VHM, and GEX were the stocks that foreign investors sold the most, with a net value of around 65-80 billion VND. On the opposite side, VIC was the most prominent bright spot, attracting more than 161 billion VND in net buying from foreign investors, far surpassing the other stocks.

The real estate sector witnessed the strongest recovery with a 2.95% increase despite the ongoing differentiation. Specifically, the sector’s large-cap stocks, such as VIC, which hit the ceiling price, VHM rising 4.32%, VRE up 2.24%, SSH gaining 0.57%, etc., contributed to the overall index’s rebound. On the selling side, stocks like BCM falling 1.48%, NLG down 0.59%, SJS losing 3.17%, KSF decreasing 0.62%, and SIP dropping 1.91%… are hindering the overall upward momentum.
Next, the healthcare sector also supported the market’s recovery, with the green hue mainly present in large-cap pharmaceutical manufacturing companies such as DHG rising 0.47%, IMP up 1.65%, DVN gaining 0.84%, and TRA increasing 2.61%…
In another development, the information technology sector was not very positive as strong selling pressure focused on the industry’s two giants, FPT, which fell 1.9%, and CMG, which declined 1.28%. However, the green hue was observed in stocks like ITD rising 1.81%, CMT up 0.71%, POT gaining 4.61%, and PIA increasing 1.72%, but their impact was not significant.
Compared to the opening, sellers still hold the upper hand. There were 327 declining stocks and 258 advancing stocks.
