The VN-Index needs to surpass 1,343 to establish a new upward trend

MARKET OUTLOOK
After a morning of fluctuating movements, the VN-Index closed the session up more than 10 points at 1,336.26 points. Market breadth tilted to the positive side with 12 out of 18 sectors advancing, led by the Tourism & Leisure sector. Additionally, the Banking sector continued to maintain its positive performance from last week. On the other hand, the Media sector recorded a sharp decline and remained the most volatile sector during this period. Regarding foreign investor activity, they posted a slight net buying position on the HSX while being net sellers on the HNX. Today’s rally still reflects market caution at high price levels as liquidity weakened. In the upcoming sessions, the VN-Index needs a decisive breakout candle above the 1,343 threshold with supporting liquidity to confirm a new uptrend.
