In this weekend's trading session, foreign investors made a net purchase of more than VND980.05 billion on the HoSE floor, 8 times higher than previous trading sessions.

Blue-chips group fell sharply, pulling VN-Index down.

After a positive session the previous day, the Vietnamese stock market in the trading session on May 19 turned down due to the plunge of large-cap stocks.

Although the number of stocks increasing and decreasing on the floor was not much different, the fact that the Blue-chips group almost returned all the increased points in the previous expiration session caused the VN-Index to decrease. Specifically, VCB decreased by 0.84%, VHM decreased by 1.64%, VIC decreased by 1.32%, MSN decreased by 1.09%...

Meanwhile, in other stock groups such as banking, real estate, securities... there was differentiation but there were still many stocks that increased well such as: STB increased by 2.39%, DIG increased by 5.94%, VIX increased by 3.16%, DXG increased by 2.17%, DBC increased by 4.93%, GEX increased by 1.43%... In particular, the group of oil and gas stocks increased most positively with GAS increased by 2.04%, PVD increased by 4.69%, PVC increased by 5.42%, PVB increased by 3.75%, PVS increased by 6.39%...

In this session, although foreign investors had a sudden trading session with a purchase value of more than VND 1,000 billion on the HoSE, this was a negotiated transaction of more than VND 1,300 billion from STG shares. Because it was mainly a negotiated transaction, even though it was a "huge" transaction, STG still decreased by 0.2% to VND 53,700/share. If we subtract this "connection", foreign investors net sold more than VND 300 billion on the HoSE.

At the end of the trading session, VN-Index decreased by 1.24 points (0.12%) to 1,067.07 points with 168 stocks increasing, 212 stocks decreasing and 92 stocks remaining unchanged.

At the end of the session on the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index increased by 0.9 points (0.42%) to 213.91 points with 84 stocks increasing, 81 stocks decreasing and 168 stocks remaining unchanged. Market liquidity remained high with a total transaction value on the two official exchanges of nearly VND15,000 billion.
