VN-Index extends mild decline

MARKET OUTLOOK
The VN-Index extended its slight decline today, losing over 2 points to close at 1,321.88. Market breadth remained negative, with 12 out of 18 sectors closing lower. Notably, the Information Technology and Real Estate sectors recorded the most positive performance during the session. In terms of foreign investor activity, net selling was observed on both the HSX and HNX exchanges. From a technical perspective, recent candlesticks have displayed small bodies with upper and lower shadows, reflecting the market's hesitation amid the ongoing corrective phase. Positively, the index continues to hold above the 20-day simple moving average (SMA20). Although selling pressure in recent sessions has been moderate, market sentiment appears cautious, as evidenced by the progressively lower closing prices. In the short term, the VN-Index will need to trade within a tighter range to establish a solid base around the 1,320 level, providing a foundation for a potential recovery.
