Indexes slips ahead profit-taking
Trading volume on the Ha Noi bourse was unusually higher than HCM City with more than 70.59 million shares worth VND1.28 trillion (US$64 million) changing hands on Dec. 01.
The volume on the HCM City exchange was 49 million and a total value of VND1 trillion.
Both indexes slipped despite the higher volume.
The VN-Index slid 0.36 per cent to 499.93 and the HN-index 1.59 per cent to 106.7.
The falling indexes and rising volume reflected the profit-taking that has followed six successive days of VN-Index rises and two of the HN-Index.
HCM City declines outnumbered gains 121-104 with 45 steady.
The number of declines in Ha Noi were three times higher than gains with 40 unchanged.
But only four shares - PetroVietnam Finance (PVF), Thu Duc Wasuco (TDW), Tan Tien Plastics (TTD) and Viet Thang Feed (VTF) - hit their floor prices.
About 30, including An Giang Seafood (AGF), Alphanam (ALP), Vien Dong Pharmaceutical (DVD) and Gemadept (GMD) and Vinafco (VFC), reached their ceiling price.
