The stock market experienced another volatile trading session, with the large-cap stocks facing corrective pressures, hindering the VN-Index’s upward momentum. The VN30 basket witnessed a dominant red trend, with 18 out of 30 stocks declining.
Notably, VJC witnessed the sharpest decline of 4.9%, while BID and TCB were the most significant negative influencers on the main index.

The banking sector faced distinct profit-taking pressures, with stocks such as HDB, MBB, LPB, and VIB witnessing adjustments. This reflected investors’ cautious sentiment ahead of the technical resistance zone.
