Market Update April 15th: VN-Index rises 1.4% to 1,800.7 points, capital flows continue to be strongly diversified.

Overview of the trading session

The trading session on April 15, 2026 closed with positive developments across the market, as the VN-Index rose 1.4% to 1,800.7 points. Liquidity remained high, reflecting the continued presence of capital, but the divergence among different stock groups remained a prominent feature of the session.

Market breadth on the HOSE strongly favored gains in large-cap stocks, with several leading stocks playing a crucial role in keeping the index in positive territory. However, in other sectors, profit-taking pressure and short-term corrections were still quite evident, especially in some stocks that had previously seen sharp increases.

Key takeaways from the session

• The VN-Index rose to 1,800.7 points, consolidating the positive short-term outlook.
• Cash flow was strongly concentrated in leading stocks, while many other stocks traded in a clearly differentiated manner.
• Liquidity in stocks with their own unique stories remains strong, indicating that stock rotation is still taking place.

Outstanding stock group

On the HOSE basket, the leading gainers included VIC , up 7.0% ; VJC , up 6.8% ; and VRE, up 5.0% . These stocks significantly contributed to the overall positive performance of the index, reflecting the leadership of large-cap stocks during the session.

Conversely, the stocks experiencing the deepest declines in the group were HRC, down 6.9% , DCL, down 6.9% , and VTB, down 6.2% . This development indicates that differentiation based on individual stories continues, rather than a broad-based, unified upward trend.

Liquidity and technical signals

Liquidity was heavily concentrated in top-performing stocks, notably SHB with 71.8 million shares, VIX with 50.1 million shares, and NVL with 36.7 million shares. This indicates that speculative and short-term capital flows remain active, but tend to be more selective compared to previous sessions.

In terms of overall signals, the stocks with the most outstanding scores include DSE at 80.4 , SJD at 76.3 , and PGV at 75.3 . This group is maintaining a relatively positive technical state, although the overall context still requires further observation regarding liquidity consensus and market breadth.
