All three stock indexes closed the session on August 15 in red. Of which, VN-Index lost 10.69 points, falling back to 1,630 points. The other two exchanges lost 0.99% and 0.56%, respectively.

On all three exchanges, the market recorded 610 stocks falling in price, completely overwhelming the 238 stocks rising, showing that the breadth was leaning towards the negative trend. The correction pressure spread as 15/22 industry groups simultaneously declined.

The focus of attention is on banking stocks - the main support in yesterday's explosive session, which have now returned to a state of adjustment.

Many stocks that had increased sharply in the morning session, but in the afternoon, their amplitude narrowed significantly, such as MBB still maintained an increase of 2.36%, VPB increased by 0.97%, EIB increased by 4.95% andSHB increased by 2.21%, while most of the remaining codes reversed and decreased in price.

Notably, while MBB, VPB, EIB,ACB and VCB increased thanks to domestic demand, the majority of the remaining shares were under "dumping" pressure from foreign investors.

For the real estate group, if Vingroup stocks are the important driving force to keep the score from "falling" sharply in the morning session, then in the afternoon session, they will only increase slightly like VHM (+0.11%) or return to reference like VIC.

Many remaining codes such as PDR (-2.24%), CEO (-4.71%), DIG (-4.31%), NVL (-3.97%), NLG (-4.89%), DXG (-3.2%)... all decreased in price with a margin greater than 2%.

The securities group was also not more positive when most of them were under pressure to take profits after a period of hot growth. Among them were SHS (-1.17%), FTS (-3.17%), SSI (-0.68%), VCI (-2.8%)...

With more than 2.41 billion shares matched, the total liquidity of the whole market today was nearly 66,000 billion VND. Foreign investors sold net strongly with more than 3,000 billion VND. HPG and FPT were the two stocks with the strongest net selling, -700 billion VND and -500 billion VND respectively.

Many banking stocks are also in the top 10 stocks sold the most by foreign investors, such as MBB, VPB, VCB, STB...

Weakening support group, stocks reverse

Previously, the VN-Index opened the morning session of August 15 in green, led by the securities banking group, with active support from stocks in the Vingroup and oil and gas groups.

The initial increase was quite strong, but active buying pressure quickly weakened, giving way to increased selling pressure, causing the index to gradually narrow the increase and reverse to decrease by more than 1 point at the end of the morning session.

Market liquidity slightly decreased compared to the same period in the previous session, showing that investor sentiment was somewhat cautious.

In general, all industry groups in today's session were under pressure to adjust, even the groups that led at the beginning of the session.

Growth is concentrated mainly in oil and gas, banking, securities, insurance and real estate, but lacks widespread spread.

The overall morning session of August 15 still showed a fierce tug-of-war between domestic buying pressure and foreign selling pressure, with fluctuations concentrated in large-cap stocks. If selling pressure continues, the VN-Index may face the risk of losing more points at important support levels.
