VN-Index

At the end of the trading session on March 14, VN-Index decreased by 6.25 points (-0.49%) to 1,264.26 points, HNX-Index increased by 1.48 points (+0.62%) to 239.68 points, UpCOM-Index increased by 0.09 points (+0.1%), to 91.62 points.

According to SHS Securities, from a short-term perspective, the market's strong recovery and fluctuations in the session on March 14 are normal movements. Although in the short term, the VN-Index may continue to increase to the strong resistance zone of 1,300 points.

However, the previous increase above 1,250 points is not reliable enough, so the risk of unusual market fluctuations is high. SHS believes that after the end of the excitement, VN-Index will correct back within the channel of 1,150-1,250 points.

According to Tan Viet Securities (TVSI), the decline was partly due to the impact of the leading industry group, banking, as this industry group has not yet finished adjusting after a previous period of strong growth.

TVSI expects the index to maintain its current upward momentum. In the last trading session of the week, it is expected that the index will soon regain balance and form a new accumulation price base.
