Stocks fell again.

The VN-Index reversed course and fell nearly 6 points on June 19th after an unsuccessful attempt to maintain positive territory. Selling pressure on the banking sector and many large-cap stocks pushed the index back to 1,824 points.

The Vietnamese stock market closed the trading session on June 19th in a correction phase as selling pressure increased on many large-cap stocks, particularly in the banking, real estate, and consumer sectors. Although some leading stocks managed to support the market for most of the trading day, overall demand remained cautious, preventing the VN-Index from maintaining its positive momentum and causing it to weaken from mid-morning onwards.

The market experienced a tug-of-war from the start of the session as capital continuously shifted between sectors. However, selling pressure on large-cap stocks gradually tilted the supply-demand balance towards the sellers. Notably, the weakness of many large-cap stocks in the VN30 basket also prevented the overall index from breaking through, amidst continued low liquidity.

Liquidity is once again a drawback for the Vietnamese stock market, as there are no signs of capital returning. The total trading value on the three exchanges today only reached about 20,000 billion VND , a slight increase of 3% compared to the previous session, but still significantly lower than the average of recent weeks.

At the close of trading, the VN-Index fell 5.94 points (-0.3%) to 1,824.53 points. On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index dropped sharply by 11.33 points (-3.4%) to 324.83 points, while the UPCoM-Index lost 0.71 points (-0.6%) to 127.52 points.

Today's market was clearly skewed towards sellers, with 423 stocks declining (including 24 hitting the floor price), 870 stocks remaining unchanged, and 262 stocks rising (including 30 hitting the ceiling price).

Within the VN30 basket of stocks, selling pressure prevailed, with 20 stocks declining, only 7 rising, and 3 remaining unchanged. Consequently, the VN30-Index fell nearly 3 points to 1,963 points.

The simultaneous decline of many bank stocks and large-cap companies put significant pressure on the index's performance throughout the trading session.

Conversely, some stocks continued to support the market. Vinhomes' VHM stock rose 0.6% and became the strongest supporting stock for the VN-Index today. In addition, LPB (+2%), STB (+2%), TCX (+2.1%), VJC (+1.5%), HVN (+1.3%), VCB (+0.2%), VIC (+0.1%), VCK (+0.8%), and MSB (+0.6%) also contributed to narrowing the index's decline.

The selling pressure was mainly concentrated on VHM with a net selling value of 817 billion VND, followed byFPT (-481 billion VND) and STB (-180 billion VND).

Conversely, foreign capital inflows were strongest into VPL with a net purchase value of 204 billion VND . Other stocks attracting foreign demand included MSB (+89 billion VND) and VIC (+66 billion VND).
