Market liquidity has been weakening ahead of the upcoming holiday

MARKET OUTLOOK
The VN-Index edged down slightly by over 2 points today, closing at 1,226.80. Market breadth was relatively balanced, with 8 out of 18 sectors advancing. Sector movements were generally modest, except for the Information Technology sector, which recorded a decline of over 2%. Regarding foreign trading activity, foreign investors were net buyers on both the HSX and HNX exchanges. Market liquidity has been weakening ahead of the upcoming holiday, and it is likely that tomorrow’s session will also see limited fluctuations. The trading range of 1,200–1,240 is expected to persist after the holiday. The VN-Index will need a decisive directional candlestick and stronger liquidity support to break out of this range.
