The market shook quite strongly during the trading session when the HOSE floor suddenly jammed orders and the electronic board froze. The VN-Index increased by nearly 8 points at one point and then turned down by more than 12 points before narrowing the decline at the close of the session, ending the previous 3 consecutive sessions of increase.

The stock market opened the morning session on March 6 with continued excitement after three consecutive strong increases, but then turned around and fell sharply due to the large "dumping" pressure of domestic and foreign investors.

Many investors reported that they could not place buy-sell orders and cancel-change orders on the HOSE floor during the afternoon trading session. Many securities companies also informed their customers about disconnection, intermittent connection, slow transactions... with the HOSE floor. Due to the order congestion, there were times when the HOSE floor price board was "frozen", the information on the price board was not updated correctly, causing confusion for investors.

The whole market was in red. Apart from a few stocks that remained green (CTS increased by 3.12%, AGR increased by 1.6%), the rest decreased: VND decreased by 2.13%, SHS decreased by 2.2%, VIX decreased by 2.09%, HCM decreased by 1.55%, ORS decreased by 1.78%, BSI decreased by 1.85%, VDS decreased by 2.86%; SSI, VCI, FTS decreased by nearly 1%.

Banking stocks also fell sharply: STB fell 1.1%, EIB fell 1.37%, ACB fell 1.25%, VPB fell 1.77%, MSB fell 1.27%, TPB fell 1.03%; HDB, CTG, SSB fell nearly 1%.

Similarly, the real estate - construction group also leaned towards red, in which many stocks decreased by more than 2%: DIG decreased by 2.51%, NVL decreased by 2.33%, CEO decreased by 2.22%, PDR decreased by 2.24%, DXG decreased by 2.16%, CII decreased by 2.56%, LCG decreased by 2.53%, HUT decreased by 2.07%, TCH decreased by 2.6%, BCG decreased by 2.58%...

At the end of the trading session, VN-Index fell 7.25 points (0.57%) to 1,262.73 points with 356 stocks falling, 130 stocks rising and 67 stocks remaining unchanged. At the end of the session on the Hanoi Stock Exchange, HNX-Index also fell 1.9 points (0.8%) to 235.45 points with 115 stocks falling, 63 stocks rising and 65 stocks remaining unchanged.
