HÀ NỘI — Vietnamese shares could not extend the morning growth at the end of Thursday as increased selling in the last minutes hit large-cap stocks on their rallies.

The benchmark VN Index on the Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange inched down 0. 一 一 per cent to close at  九 六0. 二 五 points.

The southern market index gained 0. 七0 per cent on Wednesday and rose as much as 0. 五 八 per cent during Thursday.

The HNX Index on the Hà Nội Stock Exchange dropped 0. 三 五 per cent to end at  一0 七. 三0 points.

The northern market index advanced  一.0 二 per cent in the previous session.

Large-cap stocks had took their turns to either drive the market forward or cushion it from falling deeper in the previous sessions.

Thus, those stocks began to “suffer from profit-taking pressure when the market entered the resistance zone”, which was near  九 七0 points, Bảo Việt Securities Company (BVSC) said in its daily report.

The blue-chip VN 三0 Index narrowed its gain from as much as 0. 八 二 per cent to only 0. 一 三 per cent at the end of the day, finishing Thursday at  九 二 八. 九0 points.

Half of the  三0 largest stocks by market capitalisation in the VN 三0 basket declined while  一 三 advanced and only two remained still.

Among large-cap decliners were Vietinbank (CTG), Military Bank (MBB), brewer Sabeco (SAB), steel producer Hoa Sen (HSG), Vietcombank (VCB) and digital retailer Mobile World (MWG), which fell between 0. 六 per cent and  一. 五 per cent.

Among those shares, CTG had gained total  一. 七 per cent in the previous two days. The figure for MBB was  一. 八 per cent and for SAB was  三 per cent.

Other large-cap firms, which are not included in the VN 三0 basket, also declined.

Vincom Retail (VRE), the retail arm of property developer Vingroup, shed 0. 三 per cent from a two-day growth of  二. 五 per cent.

Techcombank (TCB) decreased by 0. 七 per cent from a three-day increase of  三. 二 per cent.

Investors continued to re-direct money to defensive stocks such as food and beverage, lifting the sector index up 0. 六 per cent, data on vietstock.vn showed.

Masan (MSN) and dairy company Vinamilk (VNM) gained 0. 一 per cent and 0. 七 per cent, respectively.

MSN itself rallied  三. 九 per cent in the past five trading days.

“Buying demand is still well absorbing the profit-taking pressure”, proven by moderate liquidity and neutral market breadth, BVSC said.

More than  二 一 三. 五 million shares were traded on the two local bourses, worth VNĐ 四. 四 三 trillion (nearly US$ 一 九 五 million).

The VN Index may keep decreasing to  九 五 四- 九 五 八 points in the first half of the next session, BVSC said. The market would then recover and end Friday on a positive note, BVSC added. — VNS
