(VOVWORLD) - Vietnam’s stock market rallied sharply on Monday, the first trading day following the nine-day Lunar New Year holiday, with the benchmark VN-Index climbing nearly 2% on strong buying interest across most sectors.

The VN-Index rose 36.05 points, or 1.98%, to close at 1,860.14, after gaining 38 points during the afternoon session. The VN30-Index, which tracks the 30 largest stocks by market capitalisation, advanced 1.05%.
Experts said the market is benefiting from strong business results in last year’s quarter 4, which were released in late January. Solid macroeconomic fundamentals have underpinned the upward momentum, as 2026 marks the first year of a drive to achieve an annual GDP growth of double digit.
On the Ho Chi Minh City exchange, 280 stocks gained prices. Large-cap shares also showed a clear positive bias, as 26 stocks closed above their reference levels, while only three declined. Analysts at Tien Phong Securities (TPS) said that the pre-Tet rebound has the potential to develop into a new upward wave, targeting the 1,980–2,000-point range.
