HÀ NỘI - Shares nosedived on Tuesday due to the fall of banking stocks caused by massive selling at the end of the trading session.

On the Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE), the market benchmark dropped  一. 八 三 per cent, to  一, 四0 六. 四 五 points.

The market's breadth was negative with only  一0 一 gainers, and  三 七 一 losers.

During the session, over  七0 二. 四 million shares were traded on the southern bourse, worth nearly VNĐ 二 二. 七 trillion (US$ 九 八 八. 五 million).

The benchmark's downtrend was due to losses of many large-cap stocks, especially in oil and gas and banking sectors.

The VN 三0-Index, which tracks the  三0 biggest stocks on HoSE, fell  一. 八 八 per cent, to  一, 四 四0. 六 一 points.

Of the VN 三0 basket,  二 五 stocks slid, while only three inched higher and two ended flat.

Banking stocks fell and put great pressure on the overall market, with losers including Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BID), Vietcombank (VCB), Sài Gòn Thương Tín Co妹妹ercial Joint Stock Bank (STB), Sài Gòn-Hà Nội Bank (SHB), Asia Co妹妹ercial Bank (ACB), Military Bank (MBB), VPBank (VPB), Techcombank (TCB), Tiên Phong Bank (TPB) and Liên Việt Post Bank (LPB).

Twenty-three out of  二 五 sector indices on the stock market lost ground, including IT, oil and gas, retail, seafood production, securities, insurance, wholesale and healthcare, rubber production, agriculture, and food and beverage.

On the other side, the only two gainers were logistics and construction materials.

“From a technical perspective, VN-Index is approaching MA 二00, with a support level of  一, 四 二0 points. This is a very good recovery level for the market. According to experts, it is difficult for VN-Index to "penetrate"大众this mark because there had been six consecutive losing sessions. In addition, looking back at the market's declines, the area of ​​ 一, 四 二0 all performed well as a support,” said Huỳnh Hữu Phước, head of the Individual Customer Department of Rồng Việt Securities (VDSC).

“For investors with a long-term view, experts still think that short-term corrections are a good opportunity to buy stocks. However, the most important advice for investors at the moment is still to prioritise risk management and limit the use of margin. In case of high margin, investors should actively lower to a safe level to avoid a "margin call"大众leading to damage to the portfolio,” said Phước.

On the Hà Nội Stock Exchange (HNX), meanwhile, the HNX-Index lost  二. 五 九 per cent to end at  三 九 二. 六 九 points.

During the trading session, investors poured nearly VNĐ 二. 一 trillion into the bourse, equivalent to a trading volume of more than  八 七. 二 million shares. VNS
