Stock prices led the way, with the VN-Index rising nearly 20 points.
Strong capital inflows into securities stocks helped a number of stocks accelerate their gains during the morning session on September 18th.
Opening the trading session on the morning of September 18th, the VN-Index quickly surged as green dominated the electronic board. After a slight fluctuation around the 1,830 point mark, the index continued to extend its gains and headed towards challenging the nearest resistance level at 1,840 points.
The main driving force still comes from blue-chip stocks, especially the securities sector. Although the increase wasn't as strong as the previous session, many stocks such as HCM, CTS, FTS, LPS, and VDS maintained positive gains.
Meanwhile, VCI, VND, and VIX all rose by 3-4%, accompanied by high liquidity, becoming notable highlights on the electronic board.
In the banking sector, VPB (+2.48%), HDB (+1.09%), VCB (+1.68%), SHB (+1.29%), BID (+2.72%), and TCB (+0.61%) all performed well. In the securities sector, SSI (+1.89%), VIX (+3.5%), VCK (+1.74%), and SHS (+2.1%) also performed well.
Real estate group: VIC (+0.54%), VHM (+1.54%), VRE (+1.55%), NVL (+0.4%) and KDH (+1.92%). Oil and gas group: BSR (-1.79%), PLX (-1.31%), PVD (-0.52%) and OIL (-2.05%).
At the close of trading, the VN-Index rose 16.9 points to 1,839.67 points (+0.93%) compared to the previous session. Similarly, the UPCoM-Index increased by 126.5 points (+0.27%), equivalent to 0.34 points, and the HNX-Index increased by 276.54 points (+0.96%), equivalent to 2.64 points.
Market liquidity reached VND 7,976.21 billion, with 311 million shares traded. Across the sector, 196 stocks rose, 92 fell, and 70 dropped to their reference price.
According to experts at AIS Securities Company, the VN-Index had a positive recovery session, reaching the resistance level of 1,830-1,840 points.
The main support came from the securities, banking, and real estate sectors. Conversely, downward pressure was present in the energy and infrastructure services sectors.
With the current momentum, the market's next target will be to move towards the resistance zone of 1,850-1,860 points (the peak reached in early September 2026).
With the market recovering, investors should prioritize holding strategies for stocks in the securities, banking, and real estate sectors that are attracting short-term capital inflows.
According to experts from Asean Securities Company, VN-Index is consolidating its short-term upward trend firmly, closing at 1,823 points, maintaining its position above the MA10 and MA20 lines, along with the consensus from momentum indicators RSI (14) and money flow MFI (14), both at 56-57.
In an optimistic scenario, short-term investors can increase their holdings during corrections, avoid chasing rallies when prices are rising sharply, and consider taking partial profits at resistance levels. They should also focus on sectors with unique stories, such as state divestment, market upgrades, and economic development resolutions.
