In complete contrast to the caution that prevailed in the previous session, the stock market opened the weekend trading session in a state of excitement and maintained green until closing.

Specifically, the VN-Index quickly surpassed the 1,220-point mark thanks to cash flowing into the large-cap basket, then narrowed the increase as investors took advantage of profit-taking before the lunch break. However, in the afternoon session, the market rebounded strongly when buyers completely overwhelmed sellers. The index representing the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange thus approached the 1,225-point mark at one point before reversing slightly and closing at 1,223.64 points, up 15.32 points from the reference.

Today, the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange had 329 stocks gaining points, nearly 4 times the number of stocks losing points. The VN30 basket contributed positively to the excitement when 25 stocks closed above the reference and only 4 stocks were in the red.

FPT accumulated 4.53% compared to the reference, up to 126,900 VND, becoming the main driving force for the market. The banking group also contributed a lot to this increase when there were 5 representatives in the list of 10 codes with the most positive impact. Specifically, CTG increased 4.3% to 31,500 VND, BID increased 1.52% to 46,700 VND, VCB increased 0.46% to 87,700 VND, MBB increased 1.74% to 23,450 VND and TCB increased 1.2% to 21,100 VND.
