12 August, 2025

Market liquidity decreased compared to the previous week’s session but remained above the 20-session average. The matched trading volume of the VN-Index reached nearly 1.6 billion shares, equivalent to a value of more than 44 trillion dong; HNX-Index recorded nearly 164 million shares, equivalent to a value of 3.8 trillion dong.

Profit-taking pressure remained as the VN-Index approached the 1,600-point mark, causing the index to fail to successfully surpass this psychological resistance level. In terms of impact, MSN, GVR, and MBB were the stocks with the most positive influence, bringing in nearly 6 points for the VN-Index. In contrast, the duo of VIC and VHM significantly hindered the overall upward momentum, taking away 2.5 points from the index.
