Only seven of the 30 largest stocks in terms of capitalisation and liquidity tracked by the VN30 Index tumbled, while 20 others managed to post gains, lifting the index up 0.87 percent to 573.11 points.
The shares of oil and gas giant PetroVietnam's subsidiaries were among the fastest to increase, with PetroVietnam Drilling Services (PVD) hitting the ceiling price, PetroVietnam General Services (PET) rising 3.4 percent, and PetroVietnam Low Pressure Gas Distribution (PGD) rising 3.8 percent.
Private equity group Masan (MSN) and Sai Gon Securities Inc. (SSI) also enjoyed high growth of 2.4 percent and 5.6 percent respectively.
On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index ended at 69.99 points, a 0.75 percent rise.
The HNX30 Index, composed of the bourse's top 30 shares, also advanced by over 1 percent to 132.87 points.
Mid- and small-cap stocks performed best, seeing the highest increase of 1.2 percent among the indices.
