VN-Index drops below 340 points on weak liquidity

The VN-Index today failed to make a rebound as it closed down 1.12% or 3.8 points at 336.89, even though it already managed a slight gain of 0.65% in the first phase of today's trading session.

Investor's caution resulted in the weak liquidity with only 9.1 million units were changed hands via order matching method worth VND 237 billion.

Some stocks saw gains in the early minutes of the session but then suffered losses later. In the end, up to half of the 170 listed stocks on the southern bourse were losers. Fifty four were gainers, 29 others stayed still and two had no trading at all.

The northern bourse saw the same scenario as the HASTC-Index witnessed a gain in the beginning but suffered loss at the end, closing down 0.43% or 0.48 points at 110.9. Total 6.4 million units matched for VND 179 billion.
