Morning session: Selling pressure increases, VN-Index turns down
The market recorded a positive start to the session with more than 3 points gained. However, selling pressure soon emerged and intensified, causing difficulties for the market.

In terms of impact, VHM, CTG, and GAS are putting the most negative pressure on the VN-Index, taking away more than 1.6 points from the index. On the opposite side, a group of bank stocks, including TCB, SSB, and NAB, are the driving force supporting the index, contributing more than 1 point.

Stocks that increased by more than 1% included BMP (+2.59%), APH (+3.69%), DPM (+1.27%), and AAA (+1.13%).

Stocks like FOX, FOC, and TTN recorded decreases of more than 1%. The majority of the remaining stocks only fluctuated slightly around the reference price.
