VN-Index increased by nearly 6 points, stock prices "flew high" thanks to expectations of new Circular

A series of stocks increased sharply, helping investor sentiment continue to be positive in the session on September 18.

Entering the trading session on September 18, the excitement from yesterday afternoon was no longer maintained, but instead, caution continued to take place. The indices fluctuated narrowly. However, after about half an hour of somewhat tug-of-war trading, buying power gradually increased and helped the indices expand the green color. Trading in the afternoon session was somewhat less excited, instead, selling power was activated and caused the increase of the indices to narrow.

The focus of the market today is the securities group, thanks to investors' expectations that the Circular amending 4 circulars related to foreign institutional investors being able to trade and buy stocks without requiring sufficient funds (Non Pre-funding solution - NPS) will soon be issued.

By late afternoon, Circular 68/2024/TT-BTC amending and supplementing a number of articles of circulars regulating securities transactions on the securities trading system; clearing and settlement of securities transactions; activities of securities companies and information disclosure on the stock market was officially announced by the Ministry of Finance.

HCM and SSI are two stocks with very strong increases in today's session. HCM increased by 3.97% and SSI increased by 2.14%. The strong increase of the two "big guys" in the securities industry has helped the cash flow spread to the entire group, in which, VDS increased by 3.91%, MBS increased by 2.55%, SHS increased by 2%, BSI increased by 1.5%.

In the group of large-cap stocks, CTG, VCB, FPT, MWG... increased sharply and were the stocks that contributed the most to maintaining the green color of VN-Index. CTG increased by 2.15% to 35,700 VND/share and contributed 0.98 points to the index. VCB increased by 0.55% and contributed 0.68 points.

Notably, HVN had a strong breakout session when it increased by nearly 4.8% and was also in the top 5 stocks with the most positive impact on the VN-Index when it contributed 0.54 points.

The Viettel group of stocks also had a positive trading session when they all increased sharply in price, in which, CTR hit the ceiling price of 133,300 VND/share.

Another stock that caught investors' attention was IMP when it hit the ceiling for the second consecutive session right after closing the right to split bonus shares at a ratio of 1:1 on September 17.
