HÀ NỘI — Indices closed the week on a negative note, with VN-Index marking the third consecutive trading session of losses as broader market weakening pressured the index into lower territory.

The VN-Index, representing the Hochiminh Stock Exchange (HoSE), dropped 27.07 points, or 1.52 per cent, closing at 1,755.49 points, which was also the session low. 

The breadth of the market remained in the negative zone, as the number of decliners was more than five times higher than gainers.

However, liquidity soared from the previous session to nearly VNĐ35.2 trillion (US$1.4 billion).

The VN30-Index, tracking the 30 biggest stocks on HoSE, faced its fifth consecutive decline, retreating to 1,943.6 points, aligning with levels observed at the end of December 2025. 

Notably, out of the 30 blue-chip stocks in this index, only four managed to finish higher. These include Vingroup (VIC), up 0.69 per cent, PV Gas (GAS) surged 2.68 per cent, LPBank (LBP) increased 2.2 per cent and MBBank (MBB) rose 1.11 per cent. 

VIC and GAS played crucial roles in providing support for the index, but the strength of Vin stocks displayed inconsistencies. Vinpearl (VPL) fell by over 3.49 per cent, Vincom Retail (VRE) decreased by 2.6 per cent and Vinhomes (VHM) approached its reference price by session's end.

Overall, nearly all sectors recorded losses, with the banking sector leading the market's downtrend. Particularly, Vietcombank (VCB) posted the biggest fall of 4.82 per cent. It was followed by Vietinbank (CTG) and HDBank (HDB), down 3.11 per cent and 3.81 per cent, respectively.

Hoa Phat Group (HPG) also contributed over 1.2 points to the VN-Index's losses, down 2.72 per cent. 

The securities sector also experienced significant reductions. Major stocks like Vietcap (VCI) fell by 5.12 per cent, while VPS Securities (VCK), VIX Securities (VIX) and Saigon-Hanoi Securities (SHS) all dipped over 4 per cent. Other prominent stocks, including SSI Securities (SSI), VietinBank Securities (CTS), MB Securities (MBS) and Viet Dragon Securities (VDS), fell by more than 3 per cent.

On the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX), the HNX-Index also decreased 6.76 points, or 2.57 per cent, to 256.28 points. 

While foreign investors extended their net selling streak on HoSE, offloading nearly VNĐ920 billion, they still net bought VNĐ85.15 billion on HNX. — BIZHUB/VNS
