Entering the trading session on December 12, the green color spread across the electronic board, with the bluechip group leading, helping the VN-Index to improve. However, the increase was still cautious when the demand was not strong enough to create a clearer trend. The sellers were somewhat "softer" and not as aggressive, helping the VN-Index maintain a good increase. However, selling pressure reappeared when the VN-Index approached the 1,275 point area. The index immediately "lowered" and fluctuated.

The market gradually weakened in the afternoon trading hours. Many stock groups began to shake and the red color gradually increased. Demand remained weak in today's session and under high selling pressure, the VN-Index continued to close in red.

Those holding money were also much more cautious and the support in the afternoon session was insignificant.
