The stock market fell on both bourses on May 29 as foreign investors continued to reduce their total net buy value by two thirds to 18.2 billion VND (842,000 USD).
They also increased the sale of their blue chips on the market, especially bank shares, gas shares and securities shares, to ensure a bad trading session.
On the Hochiminh Stock Exchange, the VN-Index lost 0.6 percent to finish at 569.56 points.
The VN30 Index, covering the 30 largest shares on the market in terms of liquidity and market value, dropped 0.83 percent to stand at 589.32 points.
In this basket, 20 codes declined while only six rose.
Among six rising shares in the VN30 basket, Ocean Group JSC (OGC) continued to hit the ceiling price at 2,800 VND and traded nearly 14.4 million shares.
The three largest shares, Vingroup (VIC), Vinamilk (VNM) and Ma San Group (MSN), dropped 0.63, 0.94 and 0.59 percent, respectively.
Market liquidity dropped from Thursday's number. Nearly 136 million shares were traded, worth 1.9 trillion VND (89 million USD), a decrease of 16.8 percent.
Among bank shares, Vietcombank (VCB) was the only large-cap that improved. But it gained 0.46 percent, which was not enough to cope with Military Bank (MBB) and Sacombank (STB), whose market values fell by 0.72 and 2.7 percent.
Most gas stocks decreased. Only two of them, Petro Capital & Infrastructure Investment JSC (PTL) and Petroleum Industrial & Civil Construction JSC (PXL), remained flat by the end of the day.
