The market was negative at the beginning of the session but rebounded at the end of the session thanks to increased bottom-fishing demand. Green dominated, VN-Index closed up 4.07 points to 1,251.02 points.

Entering the trading session on January 8, the market continued to be quite tense when selling pressure increased strongly across the board, pushing the VN-Index down deeply and losing the 1,240 point mark. The bluechip group caused strong selling pressure at this time and was the main factor causing the VN-Index to continue to decline. Although there were efforts to recover at the end of the morning session thanks to bottom-fishing demand, it was not enough excitement to pull the main index above the reference level.

The afternoon session was more positive as selling pressure was somewhat exhausted while demand at low prices was still maintained, helping many stocks change from red to green on the electronic board. After about half an hour of trading in the afternoon session, VN-Index regained its green color. However, the recovery momentum was still relatively weak as the cash flow had not really entered the game. VN-Index fluctuated in light green for the rest of the session.

At the end of the trading session, VN-Index increased by 4.07 points to 1,251.02 points. HNX-Index increased by 0.89 points (0.4%) to 221.87 points. UPCoM-Index increased by 0.54 points (0.58%) to 93.54 points. Green dominated with 410 codes, while only 277 codes decreased and 885 codes remained unchanged/not traded. Today's session recorded 23 codes hitting the ceiling and 14 codes hitting the floor.

Stock groups that have fallen sharply in recent sessions, including real estate, steel and securities, have recovered in today's session, which is also the main factor helping to relieve pessimism in investor sentiment.

CTG increased by 0.93% and contributed 0.45 points.

On the other hand, HDB was the stock with the worst impact on the VN-Index, taking away 0.8 points from the index. At the end of the session, HDB fell 3.92%.
