The trading session on February 14, 2025 ended with a positive trend as the VN-Index continued to maintain its upward momentum. The breakthrough of mineral, oil and gas and aviation stocks has created momentum to help the general index increase points.
At the end of the session, the VN-Index increased by 5.73 points (0.45%) to 1,276.08 points. Market liquidity improved significantly when the total trading volume on HoSE reached more than 650 million shares, equivalent to a value of nearly VND 14,860 billion. This is a positive signal showing that cash flow is returning to the market.
Leading the market's increase in today's session was the group of mineral and oil and gas stocks. Codes such as MSR (Masan High-Tech Materials), MGC (Do Thi Gas Development Investment) and KSV (Vietnam National Coal - Mineral Industries Group) all increased their ceilings. Investors' strong interest in this group comes from expectations for demand for mineral and energy resources in the coming time.
The oil and gas group also recorded many strong increases such as OIL, PVD, PVC. The increase of this group was driven by positive developments in world oil prices and expectations of positive business results.
Another bright spot in today's session is HVN aviation stock (Vietnam Airlines), which was unexpectedly pulled up to the ceiling price of VND 29,150 with liquidity reaching 5.25 million units, outstanding ceiling price of about 1.7 million shares.
Vietnam Airlines recently opened a direct flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Beijing (China) via the world's largest Beijing Dai Hung airport. Previously, the National Assembly approved the plan to increase HVN's capital by VND22,000 billion.
Although the general market has improved, foreign investors continue to sell net with a value of about 177 billion VND on the HoSE. The stocks that were sold strongly included VNM (285 billion VND), MWG (170 billion VND), CTG (60 billion VND) and STB (49 billion VND). In the opposite direction, FPT was net bought for 121 billion VND, HPG for 72 billion VND and BID for 50 billion VND.
With improved liquidity and cash flow focusing on industry groups with growth stories, the market can continue to maintain a positive trend in the coming time. However, profit-taking pressure after strong increases may cause the VN-Index to fluctuate at 1,280 points.
The trading session on February 14, 2025 showed that investor sentiment is gradually stabilizing, with special attention paid to the oil and gas, mineral and aviation industries. If this trend continues, the market will have more momentum to conquer higher levels in the coming sessions.
