Market Pulse 27/01: Oil & Gas, Healthcare Stocks Shine as Top Performers

Overall, buying pressure remained dominant today, with 380 stocks rising and nearly 340 falling. The main pressure came from the sharp decline of many large-cap stocks. VHM hit the floor, while VIC dropped by 5.6%. VCG also plummeted to the floor. ACV fell by 6.6%. Additionally, some bank stocks like TCB and EIB saw declines. The top 10 stocks dragging the market down accounted for nearly 25 points.

Today’s market savior was the energy sector. The green and purple hues from this group significantly boosted the overall market. PLX, PVD, and GAS hit their ceiling prices. Other stocks like BSR, PVS, and PVC also rose by over 3%. This upward momentum helped cushion the VN-Index from falling too deeply.

The media services sector also saw widespread gains, with VGI, CTR, FOX, and YEG leading the charge.

Today, the healthcare equipment and services sector surged, with JVC and DNM hitting their ceilings. This movement may be linked to concerns over the Nipah virus outbreak in India, prompting investors to seek opportunities.

Insurance stocks continued their positive streak, with three consecutive months of price increases. Today, BVH, PVI, BIC, VNR, MIG, and BMI all saw solid gains.

In other sectors, performance was mixed. Financial, real estate, and essential consumer stocks saw a blend of gains and losses.

Total market trading value dipped slightly today, reaching nearly 28 trillion VND. Foreign investors net sold lightly, at nearly 300 billion VND. Recently, their net selling has eased, with intermittent net buying sessions.
