Signs of potential de-escalation in the Middle East conflict have become the driving force for Asian stocks to soar right in the first trading session of April, and the Vietnamese stock market is also not outside the general upward trend.
The market opened the trading session on April 1 in a state of excitement, reflecting a significant improvement in investor sentiment after a series of previous fluctuations. The green color expanded on the electronic board, especially the stocks in the VN30 group simultaneously accelerated, helping the VN-Index soar and surpass the 1,700 point mark.
Liquidity also soon showed that cash flow entered strongly. In just about the first 30 minutes of the session, the trading value across the whole market exceeded the 3,000 billion VND mark, nearly double compared to the same time of the previous session.
Closing the morning session on April 1st, VN-Index increased by more than 30 points (+1.82%), to 1,704.9 points. Liquidity reached more than 11,670 billion VND. Foreign investors net bought with a value of 151.46 billion VND on all three exchanges.
Regarding the level of impact, the 10 codes with the most positive impact brought a total of 24.22 points of increase for VN-Index, of which two stocks VIC and VHM contributed nearly 18 points. Meanwhile, the total of 10 codes with the most negative impact only took away 1.85 points of the general index.
By industry group, green color covered most stock groups. Real estate led the market in the morning session when demand spread widely. Meanwhile, energy was the only industry temporarily submerged in red with a decrease of 0.73%, but the main impact came from the adjustment of two codes, BSR down 2.17% and OIL down 1.92%.
The positive developments of the domestic market are partly supported by favorable international context. A series of major stock markets in Asia also increased sharply in this morning's session. In South Korea, the Kospi index jumped up 5.5%, while Kosdaq also recorded an increase of 4.13%. In Japan, Nikkei 225 increased by 3.51% and Topix increased by 3.17%.
The global market rally was "activated" after a previous explosive trading session in the US. All 3 major Wall Street indexes recorded the strongest increase since May 2025, with the Dow Jones increasing by 2.49%, the S&P 500 increasing by 2.91% and the Nasdaq Composite increasing by 3.83%.
The main impetus came from US President Donald Trump's statement on March 31 (US time) when he said that Washington could withdraw from Iran within 2-3 weeks and emphasized that the US has no reason to continue the war. This information immediately eased geopolitical concerns in global financial markets.
