Stocks in the VN30 basket mostly posted gains and slightly dominated the market. Specifically, MBB, HPG, TCB, and VPB contributed 1.33, 1.25, 0.93, and 0.48 points to the overall index, respectively. On the other hand, FPT, VNM, VHM, and VJC faced selling pressure, deducting over 1 point from the VN30-Index.

The current recovery is led by the financial sector, with most stocks in the industry trading in the green.

This move addresses the long-standing issue of allowing foreign institutional investors to purchase stocks without the requirement of pre-funding, thereby creating opportunities for the development of Vietnam’s securities market and related service providers.

Additionally, banking stocks also witnessed a positive session, with most stocks closing in the green, including MBB (+1.58%), VPB (+0.52%), STB (+0.32%), and ACB (+0.58%) …

The materials sector also attracted investment attention, with the three major steel stocks, HPG (+1.35%), HSG (+2.98%), and NKG (+2.61%), and several chemical stocks, such as DCM (+1.83%), DPM (+1.54%), and DGC (+0.61%), posting notable gains…

As of the writing, 366 stocks advanced, while 215 declined.
