Stock market at the end of the week 'swims against the current'

At the opening of this morning's session, selling pressure dominated, causing the VN-Index to show red. After that, the market rebounded, increasing by more than 3 points, to above 1,285 points. A few minutes later, selling pressure became stronger, causing the index representing the floor to fall to the reference level and decrease points. At the end of the morning trading session, the VN-Index fell 5 points, to 1,277.78 points.

In the afternoon session, the market initially continued to decline, then demand improved, helping the index to slow down. Notably, from nearly 2:30 p.m., demand was quite good, especially in some large stocks, helping the VN-Index increase again.

In today's final trading session (August 23), the stock market decreased for most of the trading time, but near the end of the session, improved demand helped the VN-Index reverse and increase by nearly 3 points (illustrative photo).
