Weekly Wrap: Consolidation under way
The VNI closed down -1.0% in the holiday-shortened week to reach 769 points. Market breadth was negative among the big caps but positive in the wider market, as big cap-focused foreigners continued to sell. Fun fact: April’s +16.1% VNI performance was only the 22nd best month historically, but it was the highest monthly return since May 2009.
