VN-Index lost more than 4 points, oil and gas stocks reversed the trend

VN-Index traded in red almost throughout the session on October 2 due to selling pressure from foreign investors before closing at 1,287.84 points, down more than 4 points from the reference.

Before today's trading session, most securities companies predicted that the market was at a strong resistance zone. Investors should closely follow the developments in the trading session to be able to act promptly to preserve their results.

VN-Index was in the red since the opening, but the decrease range was relatively narrow, even rebounding to the reference at times. The index representing the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange only gradually widened the decrease range from the end of the morning session due to strong selling pressure. In the afternoon session, the index continued to fall deeply before closing at 1,287.84 points, losing 4.36 points, or 0.34% compared to the reference.

The number of stocks that declined was more dominant than stocks that increased, with 299 codes and 96 codes respectively. The large-cap basket recorded a similar situation when 19 codes closed below the reference, nearly double the number of stocks that increased, which was 10 codes.

HPG became the strongest factor in pushing down the index when it fell 1.68% to 26,300 VND. Banking stocks were also on the list of 10 stocks that negatively impacted the VN-Index. Specifically, CTG fell 1.37% to 36,000 VND, VPB fell 1.01% to 19,700 VND, HDB fell 1.61% to 27,550 VND andVIB fell 1.26% to 19,550 VND.

The banking group was quite clearly differentiated when, on the contrary, VCB increased by 0.76% to 92,700 VND, thereby becoming the market's support in today's session. TCB ranked next with an increase of 1.01% to 24,900 VND, TPB increased by 2.34% to 17,500 VND, EIB increased by 1.59% to 19,200 VND and BID increased by 0.2% to 49,800 VND.

Next, PLX increased by 1% to 44,950 VND, PVT increased by 0.7% to 28,300 VND and PVD increased by 0.5% to 27,550 VND.
