Warning of profit-taking pressure in the stock market
The Vietnamese stock market witnessed 7 consecutive weeks of positive increases. However, experts have also begun to warn about the increasing profit-taking pressure at this stage.
Mr. Tran Hoang Son - Director of Market Strategy, VPBank Securities Joint Stock Company (VPBankS) - commented that in the acceleration phase, the group of large-cap stocks, pillars will be the main index pulling group. Meanwhile, Midcap and Penny stocks were "struggled" because these groups increased first, increasing early in the previous period.

According to Lao Dong on March 13, pork prices in Ho Chi Minh City fluctuate between 160,000-190,000 VND/kg for retail pork. Selling prices have increased sharply compared to last month due to a shortage of supply.
