The VN-Index rose 6 points, but the market showed several negative signals, including a sharp drop in liquidity, 8 consecutive sessions of net selling by foreign investors, and more declining than rising blue-chip stocks.
Widespread selling pressure, with 70% of stocks declining, dragged down the stock market. The VN-Index closed down nearly 11 points, its steepest drop since the end of July.
The stock market extended its winning streak to 9 sessions, with the VN-Index accumulating 29 points, but declining stocks still outnumbered advancing ones.
Driven by strong cash flow into the market, the VN-Index extended its winning streak to seven consecutive sessions, surpassing the 1,600-point mark to establish a new historical peak.
Early session buying and cash flow into small and mid-cap stocks weren't enough to lift the VN-Index, as the stock market continued to lose the crucial 1,500-point mark.
The VN-Index rose more than 14 points, reclaiming the psychologically important 1,500-point mark thanks to strong cash flow into pillar stocks such as banking, securities, and real estate.
Strong cash flow from domestic investors in the final minutes of the session propelled the VN-Index to its highest gain in a month, exceeding 1,500 points.
