In terms of impact, TCB, MBB, VPB and VIX were the stocks that had the most negative impact on the VN-Index. On the contrary, VIC,FPT , VNM and VPL contributed positively, helping the index narrow its decline.

The financial group saw the sharpest decline in the market, mainly due to SSI (down 4%), VIX (down 6.5%), MBB (down 3.17%) andSHB (down 2.4%). Followed by the industrial and healthcare groups. On the other hand, the communication services group saw the strongest increase thanks to CTR (up 6.94%), VGI (up 4.26%) and VNZ (up 1.73%).

Regarding foreign transactions, foreign investors net sold more than VND1,849 billion on HOSE, concentrated in SSI (VND758.61 billion), MBB (VND345.94 billion), VCI (VND199.31 billion) and VIX (VND143.51 billion). On HNX, foreign investors continued to net sell more than VND98 billion, mainly in SHS (VND87.05 billion), IDC (VND14.23 billion) and MBS (VND4.25 billion).

In general, thanks to the recovery of the VN30 group, the market has narrowed its decline, but profit-taking pressure and net selling by foreign investors are still factors that make the recovery trend not really sustainable.
