Market wrap: VN-Index drops for a 3rd consecutive day

The VN-Index fell by 0.67% on Tuesday to approach its 1-month low at 1,156.5   

* Utilities stocks including GAS (-4.2%), NT2 (-6.9%), VSH (-3.9%) and BWE (-4.1%) fell sharply, weighing significantly on the decline of VN-Index. 

* Fertilizer tickers DPM and DCM floored amid profit-taking by retail investors.  

* In contrast, large-caps in Financials such as VCB (+2,2%), BID (+2,7%), CTG (+2%) and Consumer Staples such as VNM (+6.8%), SAB (+2%) performed well, which helped the VN30 (-0.08%) to close nearly unchanged.
