VN-Index went through a dramatic trading session, like a "floating flight". Notably, in just about 20 minutes in the afternoon session, the VN-Index was bouncing up nearly 57 points and suddenly fell to the red price zone before recovering.
Investors were really "asked" in the afternoon session, within 30 minutes, the VN-Index fluctuated by more than 60 points. Many ceiling codes have been greatly reduced, even changing from purple to red.
At the end of the session on August 5, the VN-Index increased by nearly 19 points, to 1,547.15 points. Total trading volume reached more than 2.8 billion units, worth VND 78,122.2 billion, more than double the volume and increased by nearly 90% in value compared to yesterday's session. The agreement contributed more than 110 million units, worth VND 5,360 billion.

On the afternoon of purchase, HPG shares were net bought the most by foreign investors in the whole market for about 1,080 billion VND, BID and MSN both net poured 141 billion VND in today's session.

Other Bluechip stocks VHM and FPT were net sold for VND153 billion and VND147 billion, respectively.
The stocks that made the highlight today were mostly banking stocks and some bluechips. Of which, MBB shares kept the ceiling price at VND 29,700, matching more than 71.1 million units.
While STB, HPG, TCB, TPB, VIC codes lost their purple color, they still recorded a high increase from 3.4% to 5.7%. Of which, HPG has a session matching up to nearly 215 million units.
VIB shares had a time when they increased by nearly 4% and were sold sharply, reducing the floor, before closing the session to -0.3% to 19,300 VND.
Similarly, SHB shares increased by nearly 6% at times, but at the end of the session, they decreased slightly by only 1.3% to VND 18,350, matching the second order on the floor with more than 176 million units.
According to investors, the strong cash flow in recent times, with consecutive sessions of very high volume and trading value, has gradually put greater pressure on the market in the afternoon session due to the amount of goods in T+2.5 accumulation.
This is expected to continue and create strong and somewhat unusual trading afternoon sessions like today. Especially the upcoming challenge for investors who have bought new stocks at the peak today.
With the inconsistency created in today's session, choosing an industry or stock to buy will be a difficult decision.
