Experts from Viet Dragon Securities observed: “Liquidity decreased compared to the previous session, indicating a temporary easing of supply and reduced pressure on the market. The late-session recovery may support further short-term rebounds. However, this recovery is likely technical in nature, with resistance anticipated around the 1,235-point level due to relatively weak capital inflows. Risks of a pullback remain as the market approaches this resistance zone.
“As such, investors should closely monitor supply-demand dynamics and maintain a balanced portfolio, avoiding excessive buying. It’s advisable to use any recovery to adjust portfolios towards risk reduction.”
On the Hà Nội Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index also gained on Monday, rising by 0.43 per cent to close at 222.25 points. Trading volume on the northern bourse exceeded 41 million shares, with a value of over VNĐ697 billion.
Foreign investors continued their net buying trend, with a modest net purchase of more than VNĐ62 billion on the HoSE. — VNS
