Vietnam’s stock market kicked off the week with strong gains across major indices, fueled by a rebound in investor sentiment and broad-based buying momentum. The morning session on August 6 saw notable strength in the banking, materials, and energy sectors, setting a solid foundation for the day.
At the mid-day break, the VN-Index climbed 21 points (+1.36%) to 1,568.14, while the HNX-Index gained 0.74% to 268.1 points. Market breadth was strongly positive with 434 advancing stocks, compared to 249 decliners and 902 stocks unchanged, indicating that buying momentum was broadly supported.
Despite the upbeat price action, trading volume declined due to investor caution following previous market volatility. On the HOSE exchange, morning volume reached nearly 674 million shares, with a total value of over VND 18 trillion, down 41.7% compared to the prior session’s peak, but still near the 1-month average. On the HNX, 55 million shares were traded, valued at approximately VND 1.2 trillion.
The rally was largely led by banking stocks, many of which posted solid gains:
VCB rose 1.3%, BID gained 1.94%, CTG and MBB both advanced 2.69%,
TPB surged 4.26%, and ACB climbed 3.2%.
The materials sector, especially steel and fertilizers, also contributed significantly:
HPG gained 2.84%, HSG advanced 2.69%, DGC increased 2.42%, CSV added 2.95%,

Technology was the only sector under pressure, weighed down by:
FPT (-0.76%), HPT (-12.34%), and HIG (-2.86%).
Foreign investors were net buyers by VND 126 billion across all three exchanges, with STB attracting the strongest inflow at VND 135.16 billion. However, FPT saw continued heavy selling, with over VND 375 billion in net outflows, making it the 11th consecutive session of foreign selling. Since the beginning of 2025, FPT has been the most sold stock by foreign investors, with a total net sell value exceeding VND 10.7 trillion.
By 10:30 AM, the VN-Index was up 6.96 points, hovering around 1,554, while the HNX-Index added 0.79 points to 266.
VN30 stocks saw a mix of gainers and losers, though buyers were slightly more dominant:
HPG, TCB, MBB, and ACB contributed a combined 11.5 points to the VN30-Index.
On the flip side, VHM, VIC, FPT, and VRE dragged the index down by more than 6.5 points.
The real estate sector displayed a divergent performance:
Large-cap names such as VHM (-2.6%), VIC (-1.28%), BCM (-0.44%), and VRE (-3.07%) came under selling pressure.
However, stocks like KBC (+1.54%), KDH (+0.72%), SJS (+2.86%), and SSH (+1.1%) remained in positive territory.
At market open (around 9:30 AM), VN-Index jumped near 1,560 points, while the HNX-Index also edged up, trading around 267 points.
