(NLDO) - Investors should maintain a defensive strategy, consider reasonable capital allocation, and focus on stocks with good fundamentals and long-term growth potential.

Investors should maintain a defensive strategy, consider reasonable capital allocation, focus on stocks with good fundamentals, long-term growth potential... instead of surfing when the VN-Index has no clear upward trend.

VN-Index fluctuated quite strongly last week due to the influence of the international market after the US had a new President, the US Federal Reserve (FED) and central banks of many countries reduced interest rates...

Despite some exciting gains thanks to the US presidential election results, the effect was quickly erased by strong selling pressure at the end of the week. Cash flow has not yet clearly determined the driving force behind the market's rise.

At the end of the week on November 8, VN-Index closed down 2.33 points to 1,252.56 points; HNX Index increased 1.46 points to 226.88 points; Upcom stopped at 92.15 points.

The sector that caused the VN-Index to fall sharply was banking, with a series of stocks falling in price from VCB, VHM, VPB, CTG, MSN. On the other hand, some stocks contributed to the increase in points such as HVN, HPG, VTP, GVR, KBC...

The total value of matched transactions of VN-Index in the week reached 57,653 billion VND, up 1.86% compared to the previous week. Foreign investors continued to net sell with more than 3,400 billion VND on HOSE.
