HPG shares closed at 26,400 VND at the end of the August 5 session, up over 4% from the previous session and even hitting the ceiling at one point. However, the most impressive was the massive trading volume of nearly 216 million shares, far surpassing the previous record set on November 18, 2022. In this session, foreign investors net bought nearly 45.6 million HPG shares.
This figure reflects the special interest of investors in the steel industry giant, especially after HPG announced its positive Q2 business results with a net profit of over VND 4,250 billion, up more than 28% over the same period, along with positive information about the construction of new plants and benefits from Vietnam’s mega projects.
The “roller coaster” market: VN30 fluctuates nearly 80 points
The trading session on August 5 witnessed the Vietnamese stock market fluctuating like a “roller coaster”. The VN-Index once soared more than 55 points at its peak, while VN30 broke through over 76 points. However, the upward momentum quickly reversed as the market approached the ATC session.
At its lowest point, the VN-Index fell nearly 9 points, and VN30 even returned to its previous closing level. Subsequently, the market unexpectedly rebounded strongly in the ATC session, helping the VN-Index close nearly 19 points higher, while VN30 gained 37 points.

The VN-Index witnessed a decline during the week’s final session, concluding the week’s trading below the 1,500-point mark. Despite the medium-term uptrend remaining technically intact, the index’s failure to hold the crucial psychological support level, coupled with sustained foreign net selling pressure, presents notable signals for investors.
