Opening the morning session, the market performed positively with buying pressure dominating, at one point rising nearly 5 points to close to 1,280 points. However, after nearly 10 am, short-term profit-taking pressure increased after the market had risen for four consecutive sessions, causing the VN-Index to return to the reference level and turn red.

At the end of the morning trading session, the VN-Index closed at 1,271.36 points, down 0.68 points. In the afternoon session, the market showed positive gains for only a few minutes, but declined for most of the trading time.

On September 23rd, stock prices showed significant divergence, especially among the largest capitalized group in the market, namely banks (illustrative image).

Overall, on the first trading day of the week, on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange, declining stocks outnumbered rising stocks, with 261 falling and 137 rising. Within the VN30 group, the number of declining stocks was twice as high as the number of rising stocks (19 and 9 respectively). With selling pressure dominating, the number of sectors experiencing declines was overwhelming, although the drops were not significant; software, specialized services, and trade and telecommunications sectors fell by 1% or more.

Going against the market trend were the retail sectors for food and necessities; semiconductors; insurance; healthcare; food, beverages and tobacco; production materials; hardware; household and personal goods; with retail for food and necessities and semiconductors growing by over 1%.

In this session, stocks showed significant divergence, especially among the largest capitalized banking sector. BID deducted the most points, nearly 0.5; conversely, VCB contributed more than 0.4 points to the VN-Index. LBP, VPB, TPB, and MBB also contributed significantly to the market.

The market declined, but selling pressure wasn't too strong. This was reflected in the sharp decrease in liquidity compared to the end of last week's session, reaching nearly 13,000 billion VND. Foreign investors bought over 1,444 billion VND and sold over 1,231 billion VND.

On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the total trading value reached nearly 900 billion VND. At the close of the session, the HNX-Index stood at 233.38 points, down 0.92 points (-0.39%); the HNX30-Index decreased by 3.01 points (-0.59%), to 509.76 points.
