Volume on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange rose by 20 percent over Friday’s totals to 54 million shares, worth a combined 2.3 trillion VND (121 million USD).
On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index advanced by a slimmer 0.63 percent, closing the day at 171.23. The value of trades on the northern bourse also declined by over 16 percent to 933.3 billion VND (49 million USD) on a volume of over 28.8 million shares.
Nearly 80 percent of codes on both bourses posted gains, with Saigon Securities Inc (SSI) claiming the place as most active share on the southern bourse, with a volume of over 3 million traded, and PetroVietnam Construction Co (PVX) leading the Hanoi bourse on a volume of 3.5 million shares.
