The market traded cautiously

MARKET OUTLOOK
The VN-Index mainly moved sideways within the 1,200 – 1,220 range today. By the end of the session, the index closed at 1,217.25 points, up nearly 7 points from yesterday. Market breadth tilted positive with 12 out of 18 sectors advancing, led by the Basic Resources sector. Regarding foreign trading, net selling reached VND 4.6 trillion on the HSX today. Although bottom-fishing demand emerged at the 1,200 level, it remained weak.
