The market witnessed its second consecutive boom session with massive liquidity. VN-Index surged 2.41% this morning and reached a new all-time high of 1565.03 points. Notably, the HoSE matching liquidity soared by 109% compared to yesterday morning, reaching VND31,723 billion, just shy of the historical peak of VND35,451 billion on July 29 morning.
Following yesterday’s robust gain of nearly 33 points (2.21%), the index climbed a further 36.84 points (2.41%) today. This “double boost” occurred just two sessions after the market rebounded from the “tariff bottom” at the beginning of April. The difference this time is that the jump pushed the index to a new historic peak, although it eased slightly by around 5.45 points from its 11:10 am high.
Today’s highlight was the reappearance of substantial liquidity, although it fell short of the July 29 session. In contrast to the previous session’s aggressive selling, today witnessed a frenzied buying spree. The HoSE breadth was positive with 221 gainers and 105 losers, including 109 stocks rising over 1%, of which 65 climbed more than 2%.
The large-cap VN30-Index climbed an impressive 2.98%, with 27 gainers and only two losers, underscoring the strength of blue-chip stocks. VIC hit the ceiling and returned to its July 2025 peak, contributing nearly 6.8 points. VHM rose 5.31%, while MBB, TCB, VCB, CTG, VPB, and HPG all posted robust gains, ranging from 1.64% to 5.31%, and were among the top 10 stocks by market capitalization on the HoSE. The influence of bank stocks was evident, with seven out of the top 10 stocks contributing over 26 points to the VN-Index’s rise.
TPB and MBB, from the banking group, surged to their daily limit, while 18 other stocks in this sector climbed over 2%. The entire group was in the green, except for VAB and BAB, which rose less than 1%. Bank stocks also dominated today’s top liquidity, occupying six out of the top 10 spots. TCB led with a matching value of VND1,626.4 billion, followed by SHB with VND1,268.4 billion, MBB with VND1,230.3 billion, and TPB with VND1,176.8 billion.
SAB, down 0.62%, and BCM, down 0.85%, were the only two red stocks in the VN30 basket, with FPT referencing. Twenty-two stocks in this basket rose over 1%, including 17 climbing more than 2%. This clearly demonstrates the strength of blue-chip stocks, regardless of capitalization differences.
The rest of the market also witnessed robust gains. Several mid-cap stocks showed strong performance among the 65 stocks that rose over 2%. VND climbed 2.58% with a liquidity of VND938.7 billion; GEX rose 6.54% with VND821.6 billion; VCI gained 6.72% with VND640.9 billion; and KBC increased by 6.34% with VND503.7 billion. The mid-cap representative index also climbed 1.68%.
However, the heat was not evident this morning, as only six stocks on the HoSE hit the ceiling: VIC, EVG, TTF, TPB, MBB, and HAR. The small-cap group lagged with a modest gain of 0.65% and accounted for only 7.5% of the market’s liquidity. Last week, this basket averaged 9.5% of HoSE liquidity, and yesterday it accounted for 9.8%. Currently, liquidity is mostly concentrated in the VN30 basket, with 55.6%, and the mid-cap group, with 35.8%. Notably, the VN30 basket set a new historical record this morning, with over VND17,645 billion in trading value, surpassing the previous peak of VND14,581 billion on July 29 morning.
This exceptionally high liquidity is also attributed to substantial profit-taking activities, although they have not significantly impacted prices. Most investors opted to sell simultaneously, waiting for buyers to match their orders. In the VN30 basket, except for the three ceiling-hitting stocks, all other stocks retreated from their highest levels. A few stocks experienced sharp declines, such as SHB, which fell 3.0% from its peak, and VJC, which dropped 2.27%. Thirteen other stocks in this basket fell by around 1%. Expanding to the entire HoSE, approximately 42.7% of the stocks that traded this morning witnessed price declines of 1% or more. This indicates varying levels of profit-taking pressure across stocks.
Foreign investors recorded net selling on the HoSE, totaling VND410 billion, lower than yesterday’s net selling of VND628.7 billion. The heavily sold stocks included VIX, SHB, FPT, VPB, VND, SSI, GEX, and VSC. On the buying side, HPG, VIC, GMD, STB, VCB, CTG, MSN, and BID were among the most notable stocks.
