Buying demand emerges, but liquidity remains unimproved

MARKET OUTLOOK
Buying demand emerged at the 1,240-point support level late in the morning session, gradually pulling the VN-Index into recovery. By the end of the session, the index closed at 1,251.02 points, gaining over 4 points compared to the previous session. Market breadth leaned positive, with 15 out of 18 sectors advancing. Among them, Automobiles & Components and Insurance recorded the highest gains. On the other hand, Information Technology (IT) experienced a correction after previous gains and was the weakest-performing sector of the day. Regarding foreign trading, net selling continued on both the HSX and HNX exchanges. Despite a successful reversal, market liquidity remains low. In the upcoming sessions, the VN-Index needs to maintain support above the 1,245-point level and improve liquidity to solidify the recovery momentum.
