Yesterday, the VN-Index surged strongly by 16.3 points (1.3%) to reach 1,276.4—its highest closing since August 1, 2022 - as most sectors gained during the session. The HNX also rose by 3.1 points (1.3%) to 241.1. The morning session commenced with investors in a good mood as the VN-Index opened with a gap of 9.9 points after all three major US stock exchanges and many global markets jumped yesterday following dovish remarks by Fed Chairman Powell.
The index remained in the green throughout the session and reached its intraday high at the close. The securities sector traded positively following the news that the State Securities Commission (SSC) is seeking opinions to allow foreign investors to trade without the requirement to have 100% pre-funding. This is one of the bottlenecks that needs to be removed in the process of upgrading the stock market to emerging market status.
In addition, the banking and real estate sectors recorded impressive price increases in stocks such as TCB (6.6%), HDB (5.8%), PDR (7.0%), and KBC (3.7%). Of these, PDR has just announced a plan to issue 134 million shares at a price of VND10,000 per share to existing shareholders.

Liquidity also improved compared to previous sessions, reaching around VND39.6tn (US$1.6bn), up 74% from the previous session.

VCB was one of the market movers, with a 2.1% increase. Other market-moving stocks included TCB (6.6%), HDB (5.8%), MBB (2.5%), and CTG (1.6%).
