Trading Session Overview
The trading session on October 7, 2026 closed with red dominating across all three exchanges. VNINDEX fell 0.3% to 1,753.4 points, with liquidity reaching 597.3 million shares; HNXINDEX dropped 2.2% to 259.8 points, while UPCOMINDEX was nearly flat at 125.2 points.
The movement shows the market remains in a state of strong divergence, with cash flow concentrated in a few highly volatile stocks rather than spreading evenly. The most pronounced correction pressure appeared on the HNX, while HOSE recorded many strongly rising stocks that were not enough to pull the index into a reversal.

Outlook
In the short term, the 1,750-point zone of the VNINDEX remains a key level to watch, while downward pressure on the HNXINDEX indicates that volatility risks are still present. Cash flow is favoring stocks with their own stories and large price swings, rather than chasing the market as a whole.
In the coming sessions, the market is likely to continue rotating among sectors with a high degree of divergence. If liquidity does not expand further, any recovery rallies will need to be confirmed by broader spillover from leading groups.
