Recent volatility on the global market has raised cautiousness among market experts about Viet Nam’s stock market movement this week.

Unlike other financial services like banks and securities, insurance stocks haven’t recorded significant gains despite positive business results and a bright growth outlook.

The market ended mixed on Friday morning as early gains were capped by surging selling pressure in some large-cap stocks.

The State Securities Commission of Viet Nam (SSC) said that it is implementing strict supervision and inspection measures to clarify abnormal signs in the market, especially stock manipulation cases.

Shares narrowed gains towards the end of the trading session on Thursday but still managed to post slight gains, witnessing a large divergence among large-caps.

The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak is showing more positive signs, with higher vaccination rates and a decline in the number of new infections, raising hopes for businesses of a return to normality and providing support for the stock market.

The market rose on Wednesday after two correcting sessions, while the liquidity fell sharply.

The market inched higher on Wednesday morning on the recovery of some large-cap stocks. However, the uptrend was limited by losses in other pillar stocks.

Viet Nam's stock market finished lower on Tuesday on strong selling force from both local and foreign investors.
