Shares fell further on July 10 afternoon on the two stock exchanges, ending a six-day rally, as profit-taking pressures continued to rise.
On the Hochiminh Stock Exchange, the VN-Index lost 1.14 percent to end the session at 584.88 points, while the VN30, which tracks the top 30 shares by market value and liquidity, went down 1.23 percent to close at 628.78 points.
Most of the major companies' shares, like Masan Group (MSN), Vinamilk (VNM), Bao Viet Holdings (BVH), VinGroup (VIC), PV Gas (GAS) and Gemadept (GMD) lost value.
The overall market condition was negative as losers outnumbered gainers by 179-53, and 70 stocks remained unchanged.

The market volume climbed 40 percent over the previous session, totaling nearly 153 million shares and fund certificates, while value of trades rose 30 percent, reaching 2.176 trillion VND (103.1 million USD).
FLC Group (FLC) saw the highest trades with 26.7 million shares, closing flat at 13,000 VND.

On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index went down 0.67 percent to close at 78.61 points, driven down by blue chips.
