Money flooded the exchange again
The stock session 7/6 still kept the scenario of selling pressure at the beginning of the session. Shaking around the 1105 point area, VN-Index was under selling pressure from the beginning when the price
Active selling increased in many groups so the general index could not maintain the green color and reversed below reference level.
However, according to VCBS Securities, the stock market on June 7 was still divided and steel stocks were the most prominent when attracting demand, increasing by approximately 6%.
Struggling, shaking in a narrow range was still recorded in the afternoon session with almost equal number of gainers and losers. However, the demand in the last minutes of the session helped the stock market on June 7 regain the green color, maintaining the gaining momentum.
Foreign investors still did not really have a positive view of the market when they turned to be net sellers throughout the session with a liquidity of 277 billion, focusing on selling STB, BSR, and CTG.
Closing the stock session on June 7, VN Index gained 6 points, equivalent to 1,23% to 0,11; HNX Index closed at 1.109,54 points after gaining 230,33 points.
Liquidity continued to be the bright spot of the stock session 7/6. The trading volume once again surpassed the 1 billion mark. There were more than 1 billion shares, equivalent to 18.083 billion VND successfully traded. VN30 group recorded 292 million shares, equivalent to 7.082 billion VND transferred. The strong cash flow caused many real estate stocks to break out, in which, there were two ceiling gainers, NVL and PDR.
VCBS assessed that VN-Index's correction after a series of consecutive gaining sessions is completely understandable, still considered positive and necessary for the market to move to the 1120-1125 area.
"We recommend that investors limit their weight gain on stocks that have increased strongly, but consider taking partial profits and taking advantage of the shaking sessions to buy back in sectors with good demand such as securities, banking, and real estate," VCBS advised investors.
