Investors remain cautious, shares gain slightly

Shares finally added value at the end of this August 8 morning's session, but trading remained sluggish.

On the HCM City Stock Exchange, the VN-Index inched up 0.03 per cent to 422.62 points, with 92 advancers, 73 decliners and 86 codes closing unchanged.

Blue chip losses tracked by the VN30 prevented indices from gaining more ground. Insurer Bao Viet Holdings (BVH), software developer FPT (FPT), steelmaker Hoa Phat Group (HPG) and Vinamilk (VNM) lost between 0.2-1.9 per cent.

The VN30 also added 0.08 per cent to close at 502.48 points.

Investors remained cautious, trading only 14 million shares worth VND210.2 billion (US$10 million).

On the Ha Noi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index closed up 0.76 per cent at 70.11 points.

Value decreased slightly from yesterday to VND190.8 billion ($9 million) on a volume of over 21 million shares.

Major shares in Ha Noi helped the HNX30 rise 1.23 per cent, reaching 133.97 points.

Trading will resume at 1pm.
