The benchmark VN-Index closed at 381.63 points, a decline of 1.44 percent from the previous day. A heavy sell-off of shares lifted the value of trades by 54.8 percent over Dec. 7’s session to 629.5 billion VND (29.6 million USD). Volume was 41.7 million shares, a 34.5 percent increase. Decliners outnumbered advancers by a margin of 143 to 85.
Eximbank (EIB) and Sacombank (STB) are the only blue chips to perform well, gaining 1.6 and 0.7 percent, respectively, while other large-cap shares retreated or closed unchanged.
Real estate and construction shares, in particular, suffered from sell pressures, with Vincom (VIC), Khang Dien House Trading and Investment (KDH), Kinh Bac City Development (KBC), House Vietnam (NVN), Licogi (LCG), Quoc Quang Gia Lai (QCG) and Idico-Petroleum Construction (PXL) all bottoming out despite a Government instruction issued Dec. 8 intended to reinforce management on the real estate market.
In the instruction, the Prime Minister assigned the State Bank of Vietnam to ensure financing are available for projects capable of making a return on investment capital within the coming year, especially housing targeted to low-income earners. The bank was also ordered to co-ordinate with the Ministry of Construction to guide banks in implementing consistent credit policies with the aim of restructuring the property market.
