Banks lift VN Index close to 780 points

The VN Index rose 0.3 per cent to 779.05 points on Monday morning as banks continued their show of strength, backed by solid earnings in the first half of 2017.

Blue chips posted a mixed response. While PV Gas (GAS), VinGroup (VIC) and Bao Viet Holdings (BVH) advanced, Vinamilk (VNM), Novaland Investment (NVL), FPT Corp (FPT), Masan Group (MSN) and Hoa Phat Group (HPG) declined.

On the Ha Noi stock Exchange, the HNX Index inched up 0.13 per cent to close at 100.69 points.
