Morning session: Continuous fluctuations

The morning session of the stock market made investors feel like they were on a “roller coaster” as the market continuously changed its state between gaining and losing points. At the end of the morning session, the VN-Index decreased by 3.46 points to 1,669.32, the HNX-Index stood at the reference level of 276.38, while the UPCoM-Index increased by 0.59 points to 110.53.

Statistics for the whole market showed that the gaining and losing sides were quite balanced. While there were 308 gaining codes, 331 codes lost points, and the remaining 966 codes were stagnant. In terms of industry groups, the balance was also somewhat reflected through 13 gaining industries and 10 losing industries.

On the gaining side, financial services (mainly securities) were the brightest spot in the market, increasing by 1.62%. On the other hand, with its large capitalization, the securities group positively supported the market’s recovery.

Some notable names included SSI, up 1.86%; VND, up 2.94%; VCI, up 1.45%; BSI, up 1.15%… especially DSE, ORS, DSC, and APG… hitting the ceiling price. Some other positively gaining industries were transportation, up 1.1%, and hardware and equipment, up 0.92%.

On the losing side, media and entertainment decreased by 1.42% and was the industry with the strongest decline. Next was real estate, down 0.91%. In addition, another large-cap industry, banking, also fell by 0.37%, thereby putting significant pressure on the market in the morning session.

On the net buying side, TCB took the lead, but the scale was only over 66 billion VND.

10:30 am: Real estate and banking reversed, VN-Index dropped sharply

The large-cap groups, such as real estate and banking, suddenly turned red, dragging the market down quickly.

Contrary to the initial excitement, the market suddenly reversed and fell, and as of 10:30 am, the VN-Index decreased by 13.04 points to 1,659.74, the HNX-Index decreased by 1.45 points to 274.93, while the UPCoM-Index increased by 0.34 points to 110.28.

The market witnessed significant pressure from the color change of large-cap groups such as banking and real estate. Especially in real estate, the duo VHM and VIC were taking away the most points from the VN-Index, with nearly 2.4 points and more than 1.7 points, respectively. Next were a series of banking stocks, including VPB, MBB, VCB, CTG, and BID, which took away a considerable number of points.

The market’s liquidity was generally still low. In this context, foreign investors also net sold slightly over 850 billion VND. Many notable net sold stocks included HPG, net sold nearly 143 billion VND; MBB, nearly 133 billion VND; and VIX, nearly 102 billion VND.

Opening: Exciting start

The Vietnamese stock market opened on August 28 with excitement, as the VN-Index quickly increased by 9.44 points (0.56%) to 1,682.22 as of 9:30 am. Meanwhile, the HNX-Index rose by 0.76 points to 277.14, and the UPCoM-Index climbed by 0.51 points to 110.45.

However, liquidity was not too prominent, with only more than 112 million units traded, corresponding to a trading value of nearly 3 trillion VND.

Looking at the market picture, it was easy to see that 310 gaining codes were dominating compared to 148 losing codes. The remaining 1,147 codes were stagnant.

In terms of industry groups, transportation was growing impressively, up 2.29%, driven by aviation giants such as ACV, up 5.51%; VJC, up 2.01%; HVN, up 3.56%… Two other industries with good growth rates were food and beverage and raw materials, up 1.13% and 1.03%, respectively.

In addition, the green color in the banking and securities groups could not be ignored, with a series of stocks rising, such as VCB, TCB, TPB, ACB, SHS, SSI, and especially ORS, which soon hit the ceiling price. Among these stocks, TPB and ORS stood out with the information that TPB wanted to participate in the private offering of ORS, expecting to “upgrade” the relationship to a parent-subsidiary one.

Last night on Wall Street, the S&P 500 rose as investors shifted their attention to Nvidia’s earnings report, which could be a make-or-break moment for the bull market.

At the close of the trading session on August 27, the S&P 500 advanced 0.24% to 6,481.40, marking its highest-ever closing level. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite increased by 0.21% to 21,590.14, and the Dow Jones rose by 0.32% to 45,565.23.
