Stock market correction as predicted
(Baonghean) - The market in the first week of September 2018 experienced a short correction after reaching the 1,000 mark as predicted, so it did not cause too many surprises for investors.
VnIndexThe index closed the week at 968.9 points, although it increased by 10.71 points compared to the previous session, but overall for the week, this index still recorded a decrease of 0.72%. Meanwhile, the HNX Index still maintained a slight increase of 0.42% compared to the closing price of the first session of the week. The trading volume of the whole market decreased sharply by nearly 40% in transaction value compared to the previous week, reaching an average of only 4,582 billion VND/session.
The decline in both liquidity and scores was more negative than expected as the market was affected by the downward adjustment of global stocks, as well as international capital flows continuing to be withdrawn from emerging markets, putting great pressure on the domestic market. This created a state of foreign net selling during the week with more than VND59 billion in selling value.
