VN-Index surpasses historical peak, reaching 1,906 points.
The VN-Index has surpassed its historical peak, and improved and widespread capital flows are fueling expectations that the market will soon set a new milestone.
Opening the trading session on the morning of May 7th, the VN-Index reached 1,908.75 points, an increase of 17.55 points, equivalent to 0.93%, compared to the reference point. This level surpassed the peak of 1,902.93 points set on January 13th. After breaking this historical high, the VN-Index retreated and fluctuated around 1,900 points.
The index rose due to a balanced distribution across sectors. The real estate sector increased by 1.21%, mainly driven by Vingroup stocks, with VHM and VIC rising by 1.3% and 1.8% respectively. KDH also increased by 2.3%. Industrial real estate stocks such as BCM and KBC saw slight increases of 0.4%.
At the close of this morning's trading session, the real estate sector saw gains of VHM (+2.85%), VIC (+1.69%), PDR (+1.51%), VRE (+0.14%), and KBC (+0.15%). Meanwhile, in the industrial goods and services sector, GEX (+6.98%) hit its ceiling price, along with GEE (+6.74%), GMD (+1.91%), VSC (+2.28%), and HAH (+2.11%).
The financial services sector showed divergence with VIX (+2.84%), SSI (-0.18%), VCI (-1.13%), HCM (-1.58%), SHS (-0.57%), VND (+0.9%), and TCX (+1.17%). Similarly, the banking sector saw divergence with STB (+5.08%), SHB (+0.35%), VPB (-0.19%), VCB (-0.17%), and ACB (-0.87%).

Market liquidity this morning reached VND 12,977.464 billion, with 434,000 shares traded. Across the sector, 147 stocks rose, including 3 that hit the ceiling price, 142 stocks fell, and 68 stocks declined to the reference price.
According to experts at Kien Thiet Vietnam Securities Company, the VN-Index had its second consecutive day of gains, although the decline was greater than in the previous session.
However, the rally showed more positive signs. Firstly, liquidity improved significantly, with today's trading volume exceeding the 20-day average by 8.5%. The upward momentum spread to many sectors, no longer dominated by large-cap stocks from the VinGroup.
The number of rising stocks was overwhelmingly dominant, and the allocation of capital flow was heavily skewed towards the group of rising stocks (the trading value of rising stocks was 3.2 times that of falling stocks).
Therefore, today's rally carries many positive signals, allowing us to begin opening new exploratory buying positions, prioritizing stocks that have broken out of consolidation and shown business growth in the first quarter of 2026.
According to experts at Vietcombank Securities Company, based on the positive movement of capital and the strengthening market trend, investors are advised to continue maintaining a proportion of stocks in their portfolios to maximize the benefits of the price increase.
For new position opening decisions, investors may consider partially investing in stocks that are retreating to strong support levels, or in groups of stocks showing breakout momentum in leading sectors such as retail, securities, and steel.
