BSC Brief | 16.07: The downtrend has not fully ended.

MARKET OUTLOOK
The VN-Index fell to the 1,760-point area before bottom-fishing demand returned, helping the index recover in the afternoon session and close at 1,804.24 points, up 22.12 points from yesterday. Market breadth skewed positive, with 12 out of 18 sectors advancing. Real estate led the gains, followed by insurance and information technology. On the downside, personal & household goods posted the steepest decline. Regarding foreign trading, foreign investors recorded net selling on HSX and UPCoM, while posting net buying on HNX. The VN-Index rebounded after testing the MA200, accompanied by an increase in trading volume, and formed a candlestick pattern signaling a potential reversal. However, in the short term, the index remains below the MA10, suggesting that the downtrend has not fully ended. We expect the market may continue to gain in the coming sessions; however, investors should manage risks carefully.
