The breadth of stocks in the VN30 basket was relatively balanced between buyers and sellers. Specifically, VPB, VIC, VHM, and VRE contributed 1.7 points, 0.52 points, 0.39 points, and 0.23 points to the overall index, respectively. In contrast, FPT, VNM, VCB, and HDB faced selling pressure, deducting over 2.5 points from the index.

Among the groups supporting the current index, the energy sector posted a modest gain of 0.39%. Buying interest was primarily focused on oil and gas giants such as PVS, which rose by 0.99%, PVC with a 1.48% increase, and notably, BSR climbed by 0.84% following the news of this “giant” refinery and petrochemical company submitting a listing registration for 3.1 billion BSR shares on HOSE on August 21, 2024.

With a market capitalization of up to VND 74,700 billion (ranking 21st compared to companies on HOSE as of August 16, 2024), if approved for a transfer to the HOSE listing, BSR will become a blue-chip stock and is expected to enter the VN30 basket in the near future. The appearance of this extremely high-quality “blockbuster” is expected to attract additional capital inflows into the stock market from individual and institutional investors, both domestic and foreign.
