Entering the trading session on June 20, investor sentiment was somewhat more positive and helped pull some stock groups above the reference level and thereby helped the indices to have green. However, the supply force in the market is still quite strong and continues to put great pressure on many stock groups such as securities, real estate, steel, etc.

The general market continues to fluctuate within a narrow range. When the market is excited, supply appears and reduces the heat, while when the market declines and the indices fall below the reference level, demand rises and helps stabilize again. Today is the expiration date of the VN30 index futures contract, so the market will usually have strong fluctuations at the end of the session and investors will be cautious at this time.
