Bottom-fishing demand helped keep the VN-Index above the 1,300

MARKET OUTLOOK
The VN-Index traded sideways around the 1,300 level throughout the day and closed at 1,303.16, nearly unchanged compared to yesterday. Market breadth was fairly balanced, with 7 out of 18 sectors advancing. Among them, the Communication and Oil & Gas sectors led the gains, while the Insurance sector fell the most; the remaining sectors did not show significant movement. In terms of foreign trading, foreign investors were net sellers on both the HSX and HNX exchanges today. Bottom-fishing demand emerged quite well as the index dropped below the 1,300 threshold. We maintain the view that the VN-Index may continue to move up to the 1,315 level; however, investors should exercise caution in light of potential profit-taking pressure.

FUTURES CONTRACTS
Futures contracts all decreased according to the movement of VN30.
