Stocks traded mostly sideways, albeit with a 15% bump in liquidity on the combined exchanges. A late 3% gain by VNM in the ATC session lifted the VNI to a flat finish amid downward pressure from oil & gas large caps GAS and PVD amid a nearly 2% slump in oil prices during trading hours today. VNM was the only notable mover in the session, contributing 2 points to the VNI, which closed with just a 1-point gain.
