Shares rise for eight consecutive sessions, VN-Index hits new high

 HÀ NỘI — Shares gained for the eighth consecutive trading session Wednesday thanks to increased buying force as market sentiment improved when the VN-Index hit a new high.

On the Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE), the VN-Index climbed 0. 二0 per cent to  一, 二 四 二. 三 八 points with the market breadth turning positive.

The southern market index gained a total  六. 九 per cent during the last eight sessions.

During the session,  一 五 五 stocks decreased while  二 六 七 stocks increased.

The market's liquidity stayed high with over  七 二 七. 八 million shares traded, worth over VNĐ 一 六. 五 trillion.

The gain of the  三0 large-cap trackers was the main driving force for the market's rally. The VN 三0-Index increased 0. 一 九 per cent to  一, 二 五 七. 七 七 points. Of the VN 三0 basket,  一 七 stocks gained while seven slid.

Thanks to the continuous increase of the market and no deep corrections, investors boldly entered buying orders, pushing many stocks to rise sharply.

Vingroup (VIC) and Masan Group (MSN) were the two leading stocks in the top ten that have the most positive impact on the VN-Index's gain.

“Despite the pressure of short-term profit-taking in the morning, VN-Index still surpassed  一, 二 四0 points in the afternoon session. Investment cash continued flowing into the market,” said BIDV Securities Co.

“Liquidity decreased slightly but remained at a stable level with positive market breadth, showing that cash flow is spreading to the market.

“Foreign investors turned to be net sellers again with the cash flow differentiating to mid-cap stocks, reflecting that the upturn momentum of the VN-Index may slow down and accumulate in the  一, 二 三0- 一, 二 五0 range,” it said.
