“The VN-Index increased gradually from the beginning of the morning session to the end of the afternoon session and has now surpassed the threshold of 1,065 points,” said BIDV Securities Co.
 
“Foreign investors were net sellers on both HoSE and HNX. Besides, market breadth turned positive and liquidity declined compared to the previous session. According to our assessment, the VN-Index may reach 1,070 in the next session,” it said.
