Green dominated since VN-Index opened in the first trading session of the week. If the previous weeks of the market witnessed large-cap stocks achieving high growth, the April 20 session is the playground of small and medium-sized stocks, spread across many different areas.

An unexpected bright spot was that petro codes had impressive changes when PVB, PVC, and BSR gained strongly. In the context that the world crude oil price continued to decline sharply, for example, in the US, it sometimes fell below US $ 15, the optimistic signal that VN-Index brought has somewhat reassured domestic investors.

The gaining momentum in the morning made securities companies expect VN-Index to take profit at the resistant level of 800 points. In fact, at the end of the first trading session of the week, the market was struggling in an area of ​​nearly 800 points. However, the growth of VN-Index was recorded at 0.7% with 795.15 points.
