November 21: Stock liquidity "froze"

In the trading session on November 21, investors continued to be cautious, causing liquidity to remain low, and the VN-Index decreased slightly.

On the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange, at the end of the session, the entire market recorded only over VND19,800 billion in successful transactions, equivalent to nearly VND20,000 billion of the previous session. VIX was the only code with liquidity exceeding VND1,000 billion, reaching nearly VND1,600 billion.

After a net buying session, investors returned to net selling with a buying value of nearly VND 2,470 billion and selling more than VND 3,057 billion.

The lack of supporting information caused selling pressure to dominate. The market remained red for most of the trading session. Notably, towards the end of the session, improved buying pressure helped narrow the decline of the VN-Index.

Closing, VN-Index stopped at 1,654.93 points, down 1.06 points (-0.06%) while VN30-Index increased 2.43 points (+0.13%) to 1,899.89 points.

Red dominated with 204 stocks decreasing in price, while only 111 stocks increased. In the VN30 group, the number of stocks decreasing was nearly double the number of stocks increasing (17 decreased, 9 increased).

The market could have fallen more if it had not been for the support from Vingroup stocks. VIC, VHM and VPL contributed 1.5 points, 1.4 points and 1.04 points to the VN-Index, respectively; VRE also contributed 0.1 points.

Meanwhile, the banking group was the main factor pulling the market down when most of the stocks in this group decreased in price and the 5 most negatively affected codes were all in this group, including VCB, TCB, BID, HDB and LPB, but each code took away less than 1 point each.

On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index retreated to 263.13 points after falling 1.1 points (-0.42%) while the HNX30-Index edged up 0.07 points (0.01%), stopping at 577.84 points. Total trading value reached more than 1,100 points.
