Ocean Group (OGC), came second in terms of market volume with 1.8 million shares traded to close at 8,800 VND per share.

Stocks on the Hanoi Stock Exchange closed slightly higher on September 13 to narrow this week's fall as big stocks gained ground on another sluggish day of trading with liquidity continuing to decline.

The slight upturn was fuelled by a blue chip rally.
Meanwhile, the HNX-Index rose 0.26 percent to end the day at 60.18 points. The gauge slipped 0.44 percent this week but has still risen 5.4 percent since the start of the year./
