The VN-Index reached a new peak at 1,765 points, driven by strong inflows into large-cap stocks, which were today’s primary market movers. VIC contributed nearly 12 points, surging 7% to VND 205,400 per share—a record high for Vingroup. This propelled the conglomerate’s market capitalization close to VND 800 trillion, adding over VND 100 trillion in just two consecutive sessions of VIC hitting its ceiling.
Other Vingroup affiliates, including VHM, VRE, and VPL, also saw gains, with VRE climbing 6.6% to VND 43,000 per share, nearly reaching its upper limit.

The VN-Index’s consecutive highs were significantly supported by Vingroup stocks. The VN30 basket also saw VJC hit its ceiling at VND 142,600 per unit. With two stocks at their upper limits, the VN30-Index surged over 31 points, surpassing the 2,000-point milestone for the first time in Vietnamese stock market history, closing at 2,012 points. Large-caps like CTG, VNM, HDB, LPB, and GVR also contributed to the rally.
Despite the indices hitting new highs, the market remained “green on the outside, red on the inside,” with declining stocks outnumbering gainers on HoSE. The steel sector continued to weigh heavily, led by HPG’s 2.03% drop, the session’s biggest drag. Banking stocks such as VPB, ACB, MBB, and BID also saw mild corrections, highlighting sector divergence.
Red dominated sectors like industrials, construction, materials, energy, and insurance.
At the close, the VN-Index rose 17.57 points (1.01%) to 1,765.12. The HNX-Index gained 1.73 points (0.63%) to 275.35, and the UPCoM-Index added over 1 point to 112.7. Liquidity rebounded strongly, with HoSE trading volume exceeding VND 44.5 trillion.
