The VN-Index is likely to fluctuate between 1,320 and 1,330 in the short term

MARKET OUTLOOK
The VN-Index failed to break through the 1,330 resistance level today and was pushed down to the 1,315 area. Bottom-fishing demand emerged at this level, helping the index narrow its losses and close at 1,323.93 points, nearly unchanged from yesterday. Market breadth tilted to the negative side with 9 out of 18 sectors declining and sector movements were not significant. Regarding foreign investor activity, they recorded a net sell of over VND 1.4 trillion on the HSX today. The resistance level of the VN-Index is showing signs of gradually moving lower. However, a positive point is that the index rebounded upon touching the 20-day SMA. In the coming sessions, the index may experience some consolidation within the 1,320 – 1,330 range.

FUTURES CONTRACTS
The futures contracts all decreased, in contrast to the movement trend of the VN30.
