BSC Brief | 24.08: The market traded sideways around the 1,800-point level

MARKET OUTLOOK
The VN-Index gained more than 20 points today, closing at 1,788.78 points (+1.17%). Market breadth was positive, with advancers outnumbering decliners. By sector, 9 out of 18 sectors advanced, led by Real Estate, followed by Personal & Household Goods and Basic Resources. In contrast, Insurance posted the steepest decline. Regarding foreign investor activity, foreign investors were net buyers on the HSX and HNX, while recording net selling on the UPCoM. The index closed above the SMA200, with trading volume remaining above the 20-session average, indicating that market liquidity has started to return. However, today’s Doji candlestick reflected short-term selling pressure as the index approached the 1,800-point level. In the coming sessions, the market needs another follow-through gain above the SMA200 to confirm a return to a more balanced state and establish a base for further recovery.
