Market Commentary: The VN-INDEX rose 1.8% despite early trading sell-off

The VN-INDEX gained 22.9pts as investors sought to buy Real Estate’s large caps. After the opening bell, the market faced selling pressure against SAB (-0.3%), SVC (-7.0%), HPX (-1.6%), PGD (-3.4%), and IMP (-1.8%), thus pushing the VN-INDEX down to its intraday low of 1,266.6pts (-0.3%). However, large caps from the Real Estate sector lent some support, pulling the index to the green territory.

Other large caps also joined the rally and strengthened the advance, led by GVR (+4.3%), VCB (+1.3%), and GAS (+2.3%). In addition, foreign investors had a disappointing trading day with a total net sold value of VND497.1bn and mainly focused on VIC, KDH, and MSB.
