At the end of the weekend session (May 24) , VN-Index continued to fluctuate strongly, reversing and plummeting 19.1 points to 1,261.93 points - this is the lowest point this week.

It is worth noting that this development was recorded right after yesterday's 14-point recovery, returning to 1,280 points.

Thus, the first two sessions of the week saw the market trading almost sideways. By mid-week, the VN-Index had been in a state of continuous shaking for three consecutive sessions, falling sharply by more than 10 points on May 22, then increasing by 14 points on May 23 and continuing to plummet by 19 points on May 24.

At the beginning of the weekend morning session (May 24), VN-Index was in a state of not too strong fluctuations. In the afternoon session, the bearish signal appeared from the beginning of the session, and by 2:00 p.m., the index began to plummet. At one point, it even dropped by 30 points, reaching 1,250 points at 2:20 p.m.

At the same time, the HNX and UPCoM floors fell to 241.72 points (-2.1%) and 94.4 points (-0.81%) respectively.

The whole market was dyed red, with 364 codes decreasing, 93 codes increasing and 43 codes remaining unchanged on the HOSE floor.

Notably, liquidity skyrocketed to VND35,500 billion, a sharp increase of 52.4% compared to yesterday's session (VND23,300 billion), reaching a record level in the past 2 months. This shows that the trend is leaning towards the selling side, with strong selling pressure and profit-taking psychology right after yesterday's rebound.

Banking, real estate and securities attracted the most cash flow with VND6,292 billion, VND5,623 billion and VND3,651.6 billion, respectively.

The negative momentum of the market also comes from the actions of foreign investors when they recorded a strong net selling session today, reaching a value of more than 1,600 billion VND.

The focus of net selling was on technology stock FPT (FPT, HOSE) with VND347 billion. This caused FPT to drop sharply by 4.07%, becoming the stock with the most negative impact on the VN-Index, contributing 3.36 points to the decrease.
