Stock trading session at the end of the year of the Dragon: Small and medium-sized stocks attract cash flow
Trading returned to a tug-of-war state, causing the VN-Index to fluctuate only narrowly around the reference level. Market liquidity did not improve even though this was the session when ETF funds restructured their portfolios.
The trading session on January 24 took place in a rather quiet atmosphere as cash flow waited for the Tet holiday. Although in the morning session, the VN-Index had a time challenging the 1,260 point mark, selling pressure quickly pushed the general index back below the reference. Strong differentiation occurred in pillar stocks such as banks, securities, and steel. Profit-taking pressure before the Tet holiday made investors quite hesitant.
In the afternoon session, trading was more active as demand increased. Partly because today was the session when ETF funds simulating the VN30-Index, VNFIN Lead and VNDiamond indices completed trading in the restructuring period of the first quarter of 2025, the market had strong fluctuations at the end of the session. This helped many stocks increase in price. VN-Index therefore also recovered and edged above the reference level. Although there were some times of strong fluctuations, in general, VN-Index still maintained its green color.
At the end of the trading session, VN-Index stood at 1,265.05 points, up 5.42 points (0.43%) compared to the previous session. HNX-Index increased 0.34 points (0.15%) to 223.01 points. UPCoM-Index increased 0.42 points (0.45%) to 94.3 points. The whole market had 432 stocks increasing, 301 stocks decreasing and 799 stocks remaining unchanged/not traded. The number of stocks increasing to the ceiling was recorded at 53 while there were 15 stocks decreasing to the floor.
Today's session focused on some mid-cap stocks, along with strong transactions of ETFs, which also impacted some large-cap stocks.
