Despite lingering concerns, investors have embraced the elevated prices, leading to a simultaneous increase in most key sectors within the market. Foreign investors have also halted their strong selling streak and have now shifted towards purchasing, amounting to nearly VND233 billion on the HOSE.
In the trading session on August 24, the Vietnamese stock market sustained its notable rebound from the "shock" decline witnessed at the end of last week.
Due to robust buying demand, the market swiftly adopted a predominantly green and purple trend. On the HOSE, the number of advancing stocks was triple that of declining stocks. Specifically, 400 stocks saw gains, while over 100 stocks faced declines.
In this scenario, the real estate stock sector experienced a trading session of strong gains, marked by several stocks reaching their upper limits, including DIG, DXG, SJS, DXS, HBC, and HTN. Additionally, several other stocks came close to their maximum limits, with NVL posting a 5.88 percent increase, PDR rising by 5.24 percent, NLG surging by 6.47 percent, and HDC advancing by 5.23 percent.

At the end of the trading session, the VN-Index recovered by 16.83 points, or 1.44 percent, to settle at 1,189.39 points. This movement was driven by 400 advancing stocks, 107 declining stocks, and 50 stocks standing still.
