VN-Index "broke", billions of dollars flowed into the market
The July 27 stock market session witnessed the opposite trend of VN-Index and major global indices. After VN-Index conquered the important 1,200-point mark with weaker liquidity, investors were worried that a profit-taking period might soon take place.
That concern appeared right from the beginning of the stock market session on July 27. Selling pressure caused the VN-Index to fluctuate strongly. And the fluctuation only lasted until about 10:30 am. After that, the electronic trading board was completely covered in red.
Closing the stock market session on July 27, VN-Index stopped at 1,197.33 points, down 3.51 points, equivalent to 0.29%; VN30-Index decreased 1.75 points, equivalent to 0.15% to 1,199.68 points. The 1,200 point mark was quickly broken.
The main reason why VN-Index fell to the red floor in the stock market session on July 27 was because a series of supporting pillars broke. In recent sessions, Vietcombank 's VCB shares were the biggest pillars, helping VN-Index close in the green. However, at the end of the stock market session on July 27, VCB decreased by 700 VND/share, equivalent to 0.7% to 92,700 VND/share.
In addition, some other blue-chips also fell quite deeply in the stock session on July 27 such as VHM, BID, VRE, CTG, PLX,...
On the other hand, retail stocks successfully weathered the storm. MWG increased by VND2,000/share, equivalent to 3.8% to VND54,100/share, VNM increased by VND700/share, equivalent to 0.9% to VND75,700/share,...
One of the highlights of the stock market on July 27 was that liquidity returned to its peak. On the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange alone, nearly 1.2 billion shares, equivalent to VND22,695 billion, were transferred. Combined with the cash flow on the HNX, today, billions of dollars flowed into the stock market.
On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the indices were also in red.
At the close of the stock market session on July 27, the HNX-Index decreased by 0.56 points, equivalent to 0.24%, to 235.64 points; the HNX30-Index decreased by 0.99 points, equivalent to 0.21%, to 465.94 points. There were 120 million shares, equivalent to 1,994 billion VND transferred.
