Sell-off during at-the-closing (ATC) session has existed for several days. Most of the decline on September 24 was caused by ATC trading, especially on large-cap stocks.
However, some stocks managed to get out of the spiral, mainly mineral and transportation firms. Hamico Mineral (KSH), Binh Thuan Mineral (KSA), Vietnam Sea Transport and Chartering (VST), and Vinalink International Freight Forwarders (VNL) ended at their ceiling prices on September 24.
Foreign investors also took a part in driving the market down. They were net sellers in HCM City by a margin of 65.2 billion VND (3 million USD). Meanwhile, they were net buyers in Hanoi by a modest net of 5.5 billion VND (259,400 USD).-VNA
