"The anticipated adoption of QE3 (quantitative easing) buoyed global markets, including Viet Nam, which normally has little correlation to the rest of the world," FPT Securities Co's analysts wrote in a report on the company's website.
"However, liquidity remained poor because some investors doubted the effect of external factors on the performance of the Vietnamese market," they wrote.
On the HCM City Stock Exchange, the VN-Index rose on the third day, gaining another 1.92 per cent to close yesterday's session at 398.87 points. Trading value was down 4 per cent from a day earlier, however, totalling almost VND676 billion (US$32.2 million).
