BSC Brief | 21.08: The market gained more than 33 points today

MARKET OUTLOOK
After four sessions of narrow-range trading, stronger buying demand in the afternoon helped the VN-Index close at 1,768.12 points, up 33.88 points (+1.95%) from the previous session. Market breadth was broadly positive, with 16 out of 18 sectors advancing. Financial Services led the gains, followed by Personal & Household Goods and Automobiles & Parts. In contrast, only Oil & Gas and Insurance declined. Regarding foreign investor activity, foreign investors turned net buyers on the HSX after six consecutive sessions of net selling, while continuing to record net buying on the HNX and UPCoM. Today’s market gains, accompanied by improved liquidity, were supported by expectations ahead of FTSE Russell’s announcement of the September semi-annual review results for the FTSE GEIS indices. In the next session, the index may move higher to retest resistance around the SMA200 at 1,777 points.
