Stocks traded sluggishly this morning (October 22) with liquidity dropping. At the end of the morning session, VN-Index lost more than 1 point.

In the afternoon session, after 2:00 p.m., stock holders seemed to lose patience, selling pressure became stronger, causing liquidity to increase significantly.

The Vin group of stocks was no longer the "driver" of the index in today's session when Vinhomes only increased by 0.94%, while VRE and VIC decreased by 2.26% and 0.1%, respectively.

On the UPCoM floor, Loc Troi's LTG shares hit the floor (-14.74%) at 8,100 VND, with over 775,000 units remaining for sale.

LTG's bad performance happened right after the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) sent a document to Loc Troi notifying them about putting the stock under restricted trading according to regulations.

Accordingly, the shares of this large rice enterprise can only be traded on Fridays every week since October 24, because the company is 45 days late in submitting its audited semi-annual financial report compared to the prescribed deadline. The market price of this stock has also lost more than 40% in the past month.

Stocks continue to fall

The stock market has been continuously adjusted recently. Looking at the exchange rate, the selling price on the free market is 25,560 VND/USD, while banks are offering over 25,400 VND/USD after many consecutive days of increase.

To limit exchange rate speculation, the State Bank has reissued treasury bills. Yesterday, the State Bank withdrew a net VND21,650 billion from the market through the open market channel. The current volume of treasury bills in circulation is VND33,950 billion.

In the past, when the exchange rate was "tight", the State Bank had to withdraw money, the stock market often had adjustments.
