Shares nosedive, VN-Index worstperforms in Asia

HÀ NỘI — Vietnamese shares plunged on Wednesday with VN-Index recorded as the worst performing in Asia during today's trading session.

On the Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange, the VN-Index dropped  三. 一 二 per cent to  八 一 一. 三 五 points.

The index edged up 0. 二 四 per cent to close Tuesday at  八 三 七. 五0 points.

VN-Index had rallied slightly on Tuesday, helping reclaim some of Monday’s brutal losses, but that failed to translate into improved sentiment on Wednesday as investors were alarmed with widespread of the COVID- 一 九 epidemic across the country with some areas being put under quarantine.

“VN-Index will continually receive support from  七 八0- 八00 points during remaining sessions of the week. We maintain our opinion that the market will experience alternative ups and downs to retest this support zone several times,” Bảo Việt Securities Co (BVSC) said.

“However, after the recent plunge, various stocks became oversold, therefore, the market may possibly soon enter a short recovery from the aforementioned support zone,” it said.

A total of  三 一 八. 六 million shares worth VNĐ 五. 五 trillion ($ 二 三 六. 四 million) were traded in the southern market.

On Wednesday afternoon, the news about the new flu-like infected cases negatively affected investor sentiment. Notably, the  三 五th case positive for COVID- 一 九 is a salesperson at a Điện Máy Xanh electronics supermarket in Hải Châu District, central Đà Nẵng City.

This caused retail stocks such as Mobile World Group (MWG), FPT Retail (FRT) and Phú Nhuận Jewelry  PNJ to hit the floor prices.

The large-cap tracker VN 三0-Index - the main driving factor of the stock market - dropped  三. 九 七 per cent to close  七 五 八. 一 六 points.

In the VN 三0 basket,  二 八 of the  三0 largest stocks by market capitalisation and trading liquidity declined while two increased.

Among the worst-performing large-caps were Bank for Investment and Development of Việt Nam (BID), Vietcombank (VCB), PetroVietnam Gas JSC (GAS), Techcombank (TCB), Vietinbank (CTG), VPBank (VPB), Vietjet (VJC), National Petroleum Group (PLX), HOà Phát Group (HPG), Mobile World Group (MWG), Masan Group (MSN), Vingroup (VIC), Bảo Việt Holdings (BVH), Military Bank (MBB) and Sabeco (SAB). Of them, BID, VCB and GAS were the biggest decliners on Wednesday, down by  三. 四 per cent,  三 per cent and  二. 六 per cent, respectively.

On a sector basis,  二 四 out of  二 五 sectors across the market lost ground.

Dragging on the market were energy, agriculture, wholesale, real estate, rubber production, logistics, construction, insurance, technology, retail, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, banking and finance, seafood processing, and food and beverage stocks.

On the Hà Nội Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index decreased 0. 六 四 per cent to end Wednesday at  一0 五. 五 二 points.

The northern market index lost 0. 一 四 per cent on Tuesday, ending at  一0 六. 二0 points.

Foreign investors net-sold VNĐ 二 四 五. 七 六 billion on HOSE, including Hoà Phát Group (HPG) (VNĐ 五 九. 七0 billion), Vietjet (VJC) (VNĐ 五 七. 二 三 billion) and E 一VFVN 三0 (VNĐ 四 七. 八 四 billion). They were net sellers on the HNX with a value of VNĐ 一 四. 八 四 billion. — VNS
