Blue chips were main drag in the market on June 3 as large-cap shares like Military Bank (MBB), Hoa Phat Group (HPG), FLC Group (FLC), Vietcombank (VCB) and Eximbank (EIB) lost substantial values.
Analysts at the Investment Vietnam Securities Co. said buying power remained positive as bargain investors were waiting for further declines to purchase. In addition, continuous buys by foreign investors would continue to support the market.
