Benchmark indices closed in the red on April 10 after posting gains on two previous trading days on both the national stock exchanges, as large cap stocks tumbled.
On the Hochiminh Stock Exchange, the VN-Index lost 1.92 points or as much as 0.32 percent to close at 601.33 points, as investors remained cautious and the capital injection eased. As more than 114 million shares changed hands, the total trading value reached nearly 2.4 trillion VND (114.28 million USD), slightly lower than the previous trading session.
According to FPT Securities, losses on April 10 were mainly registered in large cap stocks. Seventy out of the southern bourse's largest stocks by capitalisation and liquidity posted losses, overwhelming gainers which numbered ten.
Gains from Masan Group (MSN) and PetroVietnam Gas Corporation (GAS) supported the VN-Index to increase during early trading session on April 10 to reach 609 points. However, selling pressure intensified and the market trend reversed and continued till the end of the day. Among blue chips, Kinh Do Corporation (KDC) decreased by 4,000 VND (0.19 USD) to reach its floor price of 57,500 VND (2.7 USD) per share.

However, gains from Masan Group (MSN), HCM City Infrastructure Investment Corporation (CII), PetroVietnam Low Pressure Gas Distribution (PGD), and Sai Gon Securities (SSI) helped the benchmark index to narrow down its losses on April 10. Overall, on the southern bourse, losers overwhelmed gainers by 131-94.
