Overall, a total of 114 codes added value while 99 others retreated, and the remaining 67 stocks closed unchanged. Trading value reached 1.5 trillion VND (70.7 million), and trading volume reached 82.4 million shares.
Property developer FLC Group led the market in trading volume with more than 11 million shares changing hands.
