However, transaction value was lower than previous day's level by 33 percent at 2 trillion VND (93.9 million USD) on a volume of 113.3 million shares.
The VN30 Index, comprising the city's 30 largest stocks in terms of capitalisation and liquidity, added 1.6 percent to 578.88 points. Only insurer Bao Viet (BVH), Da Nang Rubber (DRC) and Sacombank (STB) lost ground, while PetroVietnam Drilling Services (PVD) and property developer FLC Group (FLC) hit their ceiling prices.
