– The stock market closed July with mixed performances. The VN-Index opened lower and quickly plunged due to increased selling pressure. Significant recovery efforts did not materialize as the index weakened and fell below the 1,490-point mark before noon. In the afternoon session, buying demand showed signs of returning, narrowing the decline. While the recovery was good for mid- and small-cap stocks, pressure remained on some large caps, causing the index to fluctuate around the 1,500-point level. At the close, the VN-Index decreased by 5.11 points to 1,502.52.
– In terms of impact, VIC was the stock that put the most pressure on the market today, causing the VN-Index to lose 3.5 points. Additionally, stocks such as VHM, VCB, and VPL also pulled the index down by nearly 4 points. On the other hand, SHB and VPB were the two most positive contributors, holding the index above the 2-point level.
– The VN30-Index closed down 0.95% to 1,615.23. The breadth was negative with 16 declining stocks, 11 advancing stocks, and 3 unchanged stocks. VIC led the losers with a decrease of nearly 3.7%. This was followed by VNM, MWG, and FPT, which also adjusted more than 2%. Meanwhile, SHB stood out at the top with a purple hue.
Sectors showed clear differentiation. Energy led the market with a 1.17% gain, thanks mainly to BSR (+3.82%), OIL (+1.65%), VIP (+0.75%), and GSP (+0.76%). However, many stocks in this sector only reached the reference level or were dominated by red, such as PVS (-2.28%), PVC (-3.17%), VTO (-1.19%), and PVB (-1.3%).
In contrast, the industrial sector also traded positively, with many stocks attracting strong buying demand, typically VSC, PC1, VC2, and SJE hitting the ceiling price, GEX (+4.92%), VJC (+2.11%), HAH (+2.04%), VCG (+1.97%), HHV (+2.81%), GEE (+1.6%), and CTD (+2.27%).
Conversely, the information technology sector was the worst performer today, falling by 1.58%, mainly influenced by the adjustment of the “big brother” FPT (-1.98%). Similarly, selling pressure on CTR (-3.01%), VGI (-1.76%), FOX (-1.51%), and VNB (-2.96%) also caused a 1.41% drop in the media and publishing sector.
The VN-Index fell again after strong fluctuations in the session. Currently, the index remains above the Middle line of the Bollinger Bands, which will be an important support level for the index to maintain its upward trend. Meanwhile, the Stochastic Oscillator indicator has started to exit the overbought zone, indicating that the short-term outlook may face challenges.
