Broker/trader comments Tran Minh Hoang, investment analyst, VCB Securities:
"After a see-saw session, stocks have experienced a strong distribution with combined liquidity on both the markets hitting over 2 trillion dong ($97.4 million) after a 2-week gain."
"(Vietnam's) markets could start a new downward trend because there's not much macro supportive news, while a number of banks are still under pressure to meet the target to curb their loans for non-manufacturing sectors."
"Traders should stay on the sidelines and wait for more clear signs."

"Stocks fell on strong liquidity as many took profits."
"Shares could extend losses tomorrow and then move sideways in the near term. Inflation that has shown signs of easing could be 1 percent this month from May." ($1=20,540 dong) (Reporting by Hanoi Newsroom)
