The stock market experienced an emotional trading period on December 10
with rapid reversals of prices, shooting up from red to green in just
over an hour.
Oil and gas shares, the main drag on the market in previous sessions, recovered on December 10 afternoon, giving the market some essential momentum.
Except for PV Gas (GAS), which fell 4 percent, stocks increased. PetroVietnam Drilling and Wells Service (PVD) and PetroVietnam Drilling Mud Co (PVC) climbed more than 3.85 percent, while PetroVietnam Technical Services (PVS) grew 1.81 percent.
Big intra-day profits attracted risk-appetite investors. PVD closed up more than 11 percent from its daily low, for example.
However, analysts warned that December 10 rally could be a sort of sentimental reaction. They said the market uptrend needed to be tested in the coming sessions, as heavyweight shares like GAS still weighed on the market's performance.
On the HCM Stock Exchange, the VN-Index recouped nearly 2 points, jumping from the day's low of 544.78 points in the morning to closing with 557.19.
Four times as many stocks rose as declined – evidence of positive market conditions.
Blue chips also rebounded, as shown by the VN30's 1.15-percent rise. The VN30 tracks the top 30 shares by market value and liquidity in the HCM City market. The VN30 closed at 610.81 points.
Liquidity fell, however, with the trading value down 40 percent to 119.4 million shares and the value of trades down 30 percent to reach 2.3 trillion VND (108 million USD).
On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index also rose 1.63 percent to finish at 85.22 points, with the gainers tripling the losers.
The trading also declined there, as both trading volume and value decreased 40 percent from the previous session, totalling 54 million shares worth 792 billion VND (37.2 million USD).
In contrast to domestic movement, foreign investors continued to unload shares. They were responsible for a combined net sell of 103.2 billion VND (4.8 million USD).-VNA
