Gains were capped, however, by the more modest performance by blue chips and some profit-taking by investors.

The VN-Index closed at 451.59 points, up 1.17 percent over the previous session, with the volume of trades reaching nearly 67 million shares, worth a total of 1.38 trillion VND (69 million USD).

High-performing penny stocks included Alphanam (ALP), Nam Viet Seafood (ANV), Da Nang Rubber (DRC), Dien Quang Lamp (DQC), Gemadept (GMD), Thong Nhat Rubber (TNC), Tai Nguyen Co (TNT), Vitaco Petrolimex Transport (VTO) and Vinaship (VNA).

On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the HN-Index also rose by over 3 percent on No. 30 to close at 108.43 points, with 300 out of 354 listed shares gaining.

PetroVietnam Construction (PVX) was again the most-active share nationwide, with 7.8 million changing hands./.
