14:10: “Heartbreaking” drop appears

The market in the afternoon session of the Lunar New Year is making many investors worried, as there was a time when the VN-Index fell into a price decline, reaching 1,185.84 (-0.22 points) before bouncing back into the price increase zone.

As of 14:05, the VN-Index was trading around 1,186.54 (+0.48 points). Many banking and securities stocks were losing momentum, with narrowing increases or decreases in prices. Typical securities stocks included VCI (+2.51%), VIX (+1.97%), VND (+0.45%), and SSI (+0.43%); in contrast, SHS (-2.21%) and MBS (-0.74%) stocks were in the red.

Similarly, banking stocks like ACB (-0.18%), EIB (-0.27%), SHB (-1.28%), and VCB (-0.89%) were on the decline.

In the real estate and construction group, NVL and PDR stocks saw a decrease in momentum compared to the morning session; on the bright side, there was an emergence of CTD stocks, with an increase of over 3%.

In the manufacturing group, DGC stocks maintained an impressive performance (+3.63%), and HAH stocks in the warehouse transportation group were also the brightest spot in the industry.

In the top stocks affecting the index, VCB and BID were the strongest ones pushing the index down, while the other Big 4, CTG and TCB, were on the opposite side, trying to bring the VN-Index back on track, but it seems they have not fully fulfilled this role.

It can be seen that the negative impact group mainly focused on 2 banking stocks, while the stocks with positive impact shared the workload more evenly.

In terms of foreign investors, this group net sold nearly 409 billion VND.
