Rises of blue chips again sustained the market uptrend on the HCM City Stock Exchange this April 24 morning, but trading continued to be sluggish due to mounting caution among investors.

ITA was also the most active code, with more than 831,600 shares changing hands at the unchanged price of VND5,900 a share.
Market volume of trades was low with more than 17 million shares, worth VND297 billion (US$14.1 million).
