Ho Chi Minh City stocks lost Tuesday as domestic investors panicked following an overnight plummet on Wall Street.
The VN-Index closed lower 6.2 points, or 2.5 percent, at 241.46, a 23 percent fall so far this year.
Trading remained modest, with only nine million shares changing hands. Two stocks fell for every one that gained.
Nguyen Quang Hieu of Sacombank Securities Co. said the
market remained in downturn since there is no positive news to boost
investor confidence. “Institutional investors rely on global markets to
make investment decisions in Vietnam,” Hieu said.
US stocks slid to 12-year lows on Monday as a record
US$61.7 billion loss for AIG and another government bailout for the
insurer heightened concerns about the extent of the damage to the
financial system, according to Reuters.
Sacombank (STB), HCMC’s only listed bank, remained the most active stock by volume, with more than 1.6 million shares being traded Tuesday.
The HCMC-based bank, partly owned by ANZ, lost ground
after advancing for four straight sessions earlier, slipping 4.61
percent to VND14,500. A broker who wished not to be named, told Thanh
Nien Daily that Sacombank’s winning run was because of a rumor it plans
to pay a 15 percent dividend.
Among large caps, resort operator Vinpearl (VPL)
remained unchanged at VND39,200. The firm said on the exchange’s
website that Pham Nhat Vuong, member of the director board, registered
to raise his share holding from 9.96 percent to 24 percent by buying
more than 14 million shares.
Vinh Hoan Corp. (VHC),
a seafood processor and trader, rose 4.6 percent to VND18,100. Vinh
Hoan has received a farming certification from the Swiss Institute for
Market Ecology and plans to expand its farms and increase output at its
processing plants this year, according to its website.
In the smaller bourse in Hanoi, Kinh Bac City Development Shares Holding Corp. (KBC),
the second-biggest company by market value, rose 7 percent to
VND25,500. It plans to sell bonds for the first time this year to raise
funds for construction projects.
