The Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange on Tuesday extended its winning run to three days in a row over heavy trading.
The VN-Index rose sharply above the psychological 250 mark, closing 8.64 points higher, 3.39 percent, at 263.2.
Turnover reached 20.3 million shares, the highest
level since November 7, 2008. Among the market’s 179 stocks, 149 rose
while a mere 10 lost.
