Market wrap: VN-Index finishes flat despite strong performance real estate stocks

The VN-Index finished nearly unchanged on Wednesday, closing down by just a hundredth of a percent as the strong performance of some real estate tickers was not enough to pull the index into positive territory.

* SAB (-2.3%) fell for the third straight day and was the day’s top contributing decliner. Meanwhile, fellow food & beverage manufacturer MSN (+2.0%) was the top contributing gainer.

* Real estate developers NVL (+6.0%), KDH (+4.7%), NLG (+6.8%) and PDR (+4.8%) experienced robust gains.

* In the energy sector, PGV (+2.9%) and POW (+1.9%) climbed.

* Banks VPB (-1.7%) and OCB (-1.8%) declined, but SHB (+3.8%) and TCB (+1.0%) finished higher.
