On the Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE), the VN-Index closed the trading day at 1,275.8 points, down 8.07 points, or 0.63 per cent. This snapped its four-day gaining streak.

The market's breadth was in negative territory, as the number of losers surpassed that of winners by 230 to 105.

Liquidity showed signs of improvement with a gain of 16.3 per cent from the previous session, but was hovering at low levels. Particularly, the trading value reached VNĐ15.7 trillion (US$632.3 million).

The VN30-Index, which tracks the 30 biggest stocks in term of market capitalisation on the southern bourse, also ticked down 13.81 points, or 1.04 per cent, to 1,317.71 points. Twenty three stocks on the VN30 basket decreased, while six moved higher and one stocks stayed unchanged.

Leading the downtrend was the banking group with Vietcombank (VCB) being the biggest loser. Shares of the lender fell 0.76 per cent, contributing nearly one points to the index's loss.

However, the index pared losses as some pillars rose sharply. Vinhomes (VHM) contributed most to the rally, up 2.41 per cent. It was followed by PV Gas (GAS), Vietinbank (CTG), Vincom Retail (VRE) and Vinamilk (VNM). These stocks increased between 0.54-2.6 per cent.
