HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam’s stock market ended mixed on Thursday as liquidity fell below VNĐ20 trillion (US$758.4 million), reflecting heightened investor caution. On HoSE, the VN-Index edged up 6.99 points, or 0.42 per cent, to 1,655.99, despite overall negative market breadth with 179 decliners versus 120 gainers. Trading value slipped to nearly VNĐ19.7 trillion. Gains were primarily driven by large-cap stocks, with the VN30-Index adding more than 11 points to close at 1,897.6. Vietjet (VJC) hit its ceiling price with strong demand, while Vingroup (VIC) climbed 3.4 per cent. HDBank (HDB) also posted solid gains. Banking stocks led the market, with SHB rising 1.22 per cent on robust liquidity. HDB and VPBank (VPB) gained around 1.6 per cent, signalling continued capital concentration in sector leaders. Some lenders, including MBB, CTG and TCB, dipped slightly but had limited impact. Real estate stocks saw mixed performance. VHM rose nearly 1 per cent, while DXG and KDH also advanced. However, NVL plunged 3.51 per cent and NLG dropped 2.62 per cent, weighing on the sector. Selling pressure capped overall gains, particularly in industrial and financial services stocks such as CII, VIX, VCI and SHS. On HNX, the index slipped 0.3 per cent to 264.23 points, with VNĐ1.2 trillion in trading value. Foreign investors returned to net buying on HoSE with over VNĐ293 billion but continued modest net selling on HNX. — VNS/Bizhub (ICE HO CHI MINH CITY)
