VN-Index falls for the 7th consecutive session.

The stock market on June 3rd saw mixed performance as buying pressure returned in the afternoon but was not strong enough to help the VN-Index maintain its positive momentum. The downward pressure from large-cap real estate stocks continued to be the main reason for the index's decline.

At the close of trading, the VN-Index fell 7.46 points to 1,819.01 points. This marked the seventh consecutive day of decline for the index. Meanwhile, the HNX-Index rose 2.69 points to 317.48 points. The market leaned towards gains with 381 stocks rising and 296 falling. Within the VN30 basket, 20 stocks rose, 7 fell, and 3 remained unchanged.

Market liquidity improved compared to the previous session. On the HOSE exchange, the trading volume reached over 601 million shares, equivalent to a value of over 16,000 billion VND. On the HNX exchange, more than 47 million shares changed hands with a transaction value of over 870 billion VND.

In the afternoon session, buying pressure returned, helping the VN-Index briefly rebound. However, increased selling pressure on large-cap stocks quickly narrowed the gains. VIC, VHM, LPB, and TCB had the most negative impact on the market, subtracting nearly 16 points from the VN-Index. Conversely, GAS,ACB , MBB, and HPG were the stocks that supported the index.

The divergence in performance between sectors continued to be evident. Real estate was the only sector to experience a sharp decline, losing 2.8%, mainly due to the drop in VIC, VHM, KSF, VRE, and NVL. This sector also exerted the greatest pressure on the market during the session.

Conversely, IT stocks led the gains with a 2.19% increase, driven by strong performance fromFPT , CMG, and ELC. The utilities and media services group also saw positive developments, rising 1.3% and 1.15% respectively. Notable stocks included GAS, REE, HDG, NT2, FOX, CTR, VNZ, and SGT.

On the HNX exchange, the index maintained its positive momentum thanks to the pull from stocks such as THD, SHS, KSV, and PVS.

Regarding foreign investor transactions, foreign investors continued to net sell over 692 billion VND on the HOSE, focusing on stocks such as ACB, VHM, VIC, and VPB. Meanwhile, on the HNX, foreign investors net bought over 77 billion VND, mainly in stocks like SHS, IDC, MST, and TNG.

Overall, the market continues to show strong divergence between sectors. Although the number of rising stocks predominates and there are signs of improved cash flow, downward pressure from large-cap real estate stocks on the VN-Index continues.

Foreign investors' trading activity, particularly net selling in blue-chip stocks, continues to be a factor influencing investor sentiment in the short term.

However, the resurgence of the information technology, utilities, and media services sectors is helping to support the market, creating a foundation for the balance of indices in the coming sessions.
