Stocks struggle, investors cautious
After 8 consecutive weeks of increase, the stock market in the week of March 17-21.3 was almost moving sideways with tense fluctuations, after failing to conquer the 1,340 point mark. The VN-Index ended an adjusted trading week with 4/5 sessions down. The circulating cash flow between pillar stocks supporting the index has helped the VN-Index maintain a new score around 1,320. At the end of the week, VN-Index decreased by 4.27 points (-0.32%) compared to the previous week.
Although selling pressure is not overwhelming, the lack of active cash flow and hesitant developments from both buyers and sellers have caused the market to fall into a state of prolonged competition. If this continues, the pressure to adjust will increase.
Foreign capital flows are selling strongly, becoming a large deduction when the value of each session reaches thousands of billions. Accumulated after 5 trading sessions last week, foreign investors net sold VND4,319 billion in the whole market. In particular, the net selling volume on the HOSE accounted for more than 90% of the total trading value of foreign investors in the whole market. See more...
