HCM City bourse gains marginally

Shares closed slightly higher on the HCM City Stock Exchange this morning after posting losses last week, though the benchmark index on the northern bourse continued to fall.

 

The VN-Index added 0.89 points or 0.16 per cent to end at 566.22 points this morning, on the trading of 53 million shares with the total value of VND829 billion, or $39.4 million.

Although the losers outnumbered the gainers by 13-8, the VN30-Index, tracking the southern city's top shares by capitalisation and liquidity, edged up 0.18 per cent to close at 622.23 points.

This was boosted by the Masan Group (MSN) which earned VND2,000, or $0.098, per share. The other gainers included the Hoa Phat Group (HPG), the Da Nang Rubber Corporation (DRC), Military Bank (MBB) and Sacombank (STB).

On the Ha Noi Exchange, the HNX-Index dropped 0.62 per cent and the HNXFF-Index, comprising stocks with a minimum free floating rate of 5 per cent, lost 0.71 per cent to end at 80.08 points and 81.1 points respectively.

With 45 million shares changing hands, the trading value reached VND542.8 billion, or $25.8 million.

The HNX30-Index closed at 162.11 points, 0.56 per cent lower.
