Stock markets today (Apr 9) closed in the red amid broad declines. However, Quốc Cường Gia Lai’s (QCG) shares drew attention as they hit the daily ceiling, a move that coincided with the trial of former chairwoman Nguyen Thi Nhu Loan, who was recommended for a suspended sentence. Profit-taking pressure emerged early, with broad red moves dominating by the close. The VN-Index closed down nearly 20 points, retreating to 1,736.68. Market breadth favored decliners with 191 stocks down versus 124 up on HoSE. Total liquidity across the market reached about 28.9 trillion dong, down from the previous session.

At the close, the VN-Index had fallen 19.87 points (1.13%) to 1,736.68. The HNX-Index declined 2.34 points (0.92%) to 250.98. The UPCoM-Index dropped 0.20 points (0.16%) to 127.50.
