On the Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE), the VN-Index rose slightly by 1.05 points, or 0.08 per cent, closing at 1,245.76 points.
Market breadth was positive, with 161 stocks advancing and 138 declining. Liquidity on the southern bourse fell significantly, reaching VNĐ10.9 trillion (nearly US$429.37 million), marking a 31 per cent decrease compared to the previous session.
The VN30-Index, which tracks the 30 largest stocks by market capitalisation on HoSE, also edged up by 0.71 points, or 0.05 per cent, to 1,313.35 points. Eleven stocks in the VN30 basket rose, nine declined and ten remained unchanged.
Data compiled by financial website vietstock.vn showed that Vietnam Airlines JSC (HVN) led the gains, with its shares rising by nearly 5.6 per cent, contributing over 0.68 points to the VN-Index's growth.
This was followed by gains from Vietnam Rubber Group - Joint Stock Company (GVR), up 1.74 per cent, Hoa Phat Group JSC (HPG), rising 0.76 per cent and Vietnam Commercial Joint Stock Export Import Bank (EIB), which increased by 3.21 per cent.
Several sectors experienced losses, applying slight pressure on the market. Decliners included Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Industry And Trade (CTG), the Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BID) and the Southeast Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SSB).
Experts from Viet Dragon Securities noted: “The decline in liquidity compared to the previous session indicates that supply pressure has temporarily eased, relieving stress on the market. The recovery movement at the end of the session may support a near-term rebound.
"However, this recovery might be technical in nature, facing resistance around 1,265 points, given limited supportive cash flow. The risk of market retreat from this resistance zone remains.
“Thus, investors should monitor supply-demand dynamics and maintain a balanced portfolio, avoiding overbuying. Temporary recovery phases should be used to restructure portfolios toward reducing risk.”
On the Hà Nội Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index also closed higher, gaining 0.18 per cent to reach 224.86 points. During the session, over 45 million shares changed hands on the northern bourse, valued at more than VNĐ765 billion.
Foreign investors continued their net selling streak for a ninth consecutive session, with net sales amounting to over VNĐ853 billion on the HoSE.
