SBV support helps boost shares
Shares managed gains on both bourses yesterday, with investors favouring real estate stocks after a boost from the State Bank of Viet Nam's VND30 trillion (US$1.4 billion) support package.
PetroVietnam Construction (PVX) hit the ceiling price after a prolonged slump, while other real estate shares relishing gains including Sacomreal (SCR) and a number of Song Da's construction units.
Nguyen Xuan Binh from Bao Viet Securities Co, said that although profit-seeking started to increase, and the market experiencing mixed sessions, an overall uptrend was taking place.
"The reason for that may come from the rotation of cash flows from one group of stocks to another," he said.
Technical indicators were positive in the short and medium terms, Binh added, while "some sessions of correction will be opportunities for investors to buy."
