On the HCM Stock Exchange, the VN-Index rose 0,86 percent to close at 417,55 points, while the value of trades rose by 40 percent from the previous day to nearly 782,7 billion VND (37,3 million USD).
Advancers overwhelmed decliners by 199-36, once again led by blue chips. The VN30 Index, tracking the 30 leading shares by market capitalisation and liquidity, rose 0,9 percent to close at just over 493 points. Tan Dao Investment Industry (ITA) was the most active share on the HCM City market, with 1,75 million shares exchanged before closing up by 3 percent to 6.900 VND per share.
On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index also gained 2,3 percent to end the session at 71.40 points. The value of trades jumped 21 percent over July 16’s level, reaching nearly 370 billion VND (9.6 million USD) on a volume of 40.5 million shares. The HNX30 Index also rose by 3.66 percent to close at 136.23 points.
