Vietnamese equities extend rally into Thursday session
Markets in Hanoi opened Thursday with a positive bias, as Vietnam’s equity markets continued their upward trajectory. The broader VN-Index advanced in early trading, reflecting sustained investor confidence and strong domestic momentum.
Broad-based gains support early strength
The Vietnamese market has been one of the standout performers in Asia, with equities benefiting from strong economic growth, improving liquidity, and increasing foreign investor interest. The VN-Index opened around 1,795 and quickly moved higher, maintaining its position near multi-year highs.
Meanwhile, the HNX-Index also showed gains, supported by steady trading volumes and continued participation from both domestic and institutional investors.
Property and blue-chip stocks lead
Recent sessions have seen property and large-cap stocks drive the rally, pushing the market above key psychological levels. This trend appears to have carried into Thursday’s open, reinforcing bullish sentiment across sectors.
Vietnam’s upgrade trajectory towards emerging market status is also contributing to sustained inflows and improved investor sentiment.
Structural growth story remains intact
Unlike many regional peers, Vietnam’s market is being supported by strong domestic fundamentals rather than purely external flows. With GDP growth expectations robust and capital market reforms progressing, the outlook remains constructive.
Short-term volatility may persist, but the opening tone suggests continued upward momentum in one of Asia’s fastest-growing equity markets.
