"The operations of many listed companies have shown good results, backing the market to grow," he said.
Phuong expected the uptrend to remain until next month.
"As there is a short correction there are opportunities to buy shares, but investors should not expect high profits," he cautioned.
Foreign investors on August 11 retained their net selling status, unloading 146 billion VND (nearly 6.9 million USD). They sold mostly MSN, PetroVietnam Technical Services (PVS), PetroVietnam Low Pressure Gas Distribution (PGD) and VNDirect Securities (VND).-VNA
