The Vietnamese stock market showed mixed performance, but the overall trend remained positive during the midday trading session on April 23, 2026. The VNINDEX rose 17.3 points, or 0.9%, to 1,874.6 points, reflecting continued buying pressure on leading stocks. Total trading volume on the HOSE reached 410.5 million shares, indicating that capital flows remained high despite uneven increases.
Meanwhile, the HNXINDEX edged down 0.9 points, or 0.3%, to 254.5 points; the UPCOMINDEX also declined 0.4 points, or 0.3%, to 128.5 points. This development indicates that capital flows still favor the HOSE, while the other two exchanges have entered a more selective phase.

Industry analysis
The banking sector continued to be a notable pillar, with VCB rising 5.7%, BID 3.9%, and CTG 2.6%. In the real estate sector, NVL increased 3.2% and VIC 2.3%, contributing to the overall index's support. The industrial sector also saw positive performance from PVT, up 4.0%, and GMD, up 2.0%.
On the other hand, pharmaceuticals emerged as strong performers, with VDP rising 7.0% and DCL increasing 1.9%. Household goods also saw some stocks rebound strongly, such as DQC rising 6.8%. However, divergence remains clear, with retail, chemicals, and some construction stocks still under pressure to correct.
Technical signals and outlook
Among the prominent technical signals, QNP achieved a composite score of 76.5 with an RSI of 50, a bullish MACD, and a bullish EMA. PGV scored 75.9 points with an RSI of 56, a bullish MACD, and a bullish EMA; PVT scored 74.5 points with a similar signal structure. These stocks are maintaining a relatively positive technical state in the short term.
Given the current context, the VNINDEX is showing signs of maintaining its short-term recovery momentum, with both the index and market breadth leaning towards an upward trend on the HOSE. However, the HNXINDEX and UPCOMINDEX remain clearly differentiated, so localized fluctuations may continue for the remainder of the session.
Prospects
The VNINDEX level of 1,874.6 points is a key point to watch in the short term. If capital continues to flow into the banking, real estate, and stocks with good technical signals such as QNP , PGV, and PVT , the market could maintain its positive momentum. Conversely, strong divergence on the remaining exchanges is a factor to closely observe in subsequent phases.
