HÀ NỘI — Benchmark indices settled higher on Tuesday, reversing yesterday’s course as losses in the last two sessions triggered bottom finishing activities.
The market benchmark VN-Index on the Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE) increased by 6.49 points, or 0.45 per cent, to 1,452.74 points.
It lost nearly 20.3 points on Monday as the market was affected by the negative sentiment of the Asia market, causing a strong sell-off across all sectors. The index extended losses in the morning trade.
The market’s breadth was positive with 272 stocks climbing, while 166 stocks slid. However, liquidity continued to decrease compared to the previous session, with nearly 675.63 million shares traded on the southern bourse, worth over VNĐ21.8 trillion (US$952.6 million).
The index’s reversal was driven by bottom fishing activities in many large-cap stocks. Thereby, the VN30-Index, tracking the 30 biggest stocks on HoSE, rose by 7.79 points, or 0.53 per cent, to 1,468.89 points.
Eighteen stocks in the VN30 basket gained yesterday, while only eight declined and four ended flat.
