Despite higher trading, 13 of 18 sectors declined. Real estate was a net drag of about 6.5 points on the VN-Index, while banking and information technology also weighed on the index. Financial services, by contrast, contributed about 6.5 points and provided the main support, with VIX, SSI, VND and VCI among the leading contributors.

Financial services’ share of trading rose from 11.2% to 19.3%, its highest level in nearly 10 weeks. Trading value increased 107.6% week on week, and sector prices rose 5.0%. Banking still accounted for the largest share of trading at 25.8%, but sector prices fell 0.8%. Real estate’s share of trading declined to 16.4%, and sector prices fell 1.8%.

Money also flowed into mid-cap stocks. VNMID’s share of trading rose from 36.8% to 39.8%, its highest level in nearly 30 weeks. Its average daily matched trading value increased 30.3% week on week, and prices rose 2.49%. By comparison, VN30 prices fell 0.47%. Pressure on large-cap stocks kept the overall index from recovering alongside trading activity.
