The VN-Index closed largely unchanged at 491.90 points.
Trading volume rose 13.8 percent from the previous session but remained modest at just 42.1 million shares, worth a combined 1.3 trillion VND (66.7 million USD).
Thanh Cong Textile and Garment (TCM) was the most-active share, responsible for transactions of 1.7 million shares.
On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, shares refused to respond to the global trend, and the HNX-Index fell by an additional 0.59 percent to end the day at 150.48 points.
The value of trades remained weak at just 806.8 billion VND (41.4 million USD) on a total volume of 28.5 million shares./.
