The VN-Index boomed by 2.0% on the back of all sectors with the most contribution coming from the Financials sector (+2.2%). After the opening bell, the VN-Index began the session in the green and gradually rose and closed at its intraday high of 1,088.3pts. After a long period of moving sideways with low liquidity, the VN-Index increased strongly with liquidity surpassing the 20-day average. This helped the VN-Index continue to extend its rally from the end of December 2022.

Notably, VCB from the Banking sector became the largest supporter, jumping 2.4% to VND89,400 and alone contributing 2.5pts to the index’s gain. Market pillars from the Steels and other sectors also joined the rally, including HPG (+6.9%), MBB (+4.9%), MSN (+2.7%), TCB (+3.2%), and VRE (+4.7%).
