HÀ NỘI — The Vietnamese stock market settled lower on Wednesday, ending its two-day gaining streak due to the slump of heavy-weight stocks. Liquidity declined compared to the previous session, with more than 897 million shares traded on HoSE, worth nearly VNĐ17.7 trillion (US$748.6 million). Securities stocks decreased towards the end of the session. The VN-Index's loss was significantly broadened as securities stocks declined strongly, such as VNDirect Securities Corporation (VND), Saigon-Hanoi Securities JSC (SHS), Việt Capital Incorporation (VCI), Agribank Securities Corporation (AGR) and APG Securities Joint Stock Company (APG). During the session, VNĐ1.6 trillion worth of shares, equivalent to a trading volume of nearly 91.3 million shares, was traded on the northern market.
