Market Pulse 11/09: An Exciting Afternoon Session, VN-Index Rebounds 52 Points from Lows

In stark contrast to the morning session's struggles, which saw the VN-Index dip below 1,606 points, the afternoon session painted an entirely different picture. The index staged a robust comeback, closing at 1,657.75, marking a significant gain of 14.49 points. The real estate sector, particularly Vingroup-related stocks, emerged as the driving force behind today's impressive rally.

Despite some recovery, the HNX-Index and UPCoM-Index failed to regain the green zone like the VN-Index. At the close, the HNX-Index fell 0.42 points to 274.18, and the UPCoM-Index dropped 0.27 points to 110.1.

Real estate stocks rebounded, closing with a 2.53% gain, the highest in the market, significantly boosting overall market performance. Green dominated various sectors, from retail to industrial zones, with stocks like BCM, KBC, DXG, TAL, DXS, and CRE rising. Notably, the trio of VIC (+3.9%), VHM (+4.03%), and VRE (+1.63%) stood out.

VIC and VHM were the top contributors to the VN-Index, adding over 4.7 points and 4 points, respectively.

Essential retail stocks also performed well, rising 2.21%, led by retail giants like MWG (+4.37%), FRT (+0.31%), and distributors such as DGW (+2.7%) and PET (+0.5%).

The media and entertainment sector also saw a 2.06% increase, with VNZ (+2.24%) and YEG (+5.17%) leading the way.

Raw materials stocks had a positive session, with “steel king” HPG (+1.04%), NKG (ceiling), and HSG (+2.83%) all advancing.

Despite gains, only 361 stocks rose (26 ceiling), compared to 362 falling (11 floor), with 880 unchanged. Thus, while the market rose, many portfolios remained in the red, a phenomenon known as “green on the outside, red on the inside.”

Nine sectors underperformed, led by hardware and equipment (-2.25%) and telecom services (-1.01%). Other declines were minimal, but financial services (mainly securities) fell 0.42%, impacting both the market and investor portfolios due to their capitalization and recent popularity.

Many stocks narrowed losses by the close but still ended significantly down, including VIX (-2.79%), SHS (-2.26%), and AAS (-10.07%). However, some bucked the trend, with DSE and VDS hitting ceilings.

Vietnamese markets contrasted with global positivity. In the U.S., the S&P 500 hit a new high as wholesale prices unexpectedly fell, boosting hopes for a Fed rate cut next week.

The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to 6,532.04, a record close. The Nasdaq Composite edged up 0.03% to 21,886.06, also a record. The Dow Jones fell 0.48% to 45,490.92, weighed down by Apple’s underwhelming iPhone announcement.
