Domestic stocks remain unaffected by plane crash

Asian stocks were rattled by the news of the crash of a Malaysian Airlines jet on the Ukraine-Russia border, but Viet Nam's stock market remained unaffected.

 

Both national benchmark indices closed higher. The VN-Index on the HCM City Stock Exchange added 0.28 per cent to finish at 592.01 points on the exchange of nearly 78.3 million shares, worth VND1.2 trillion (US$56.6 million).

The VN30-Index, which tracks the performance of the southern bourse's largest stocks by capitalisation and liquidity, also rose by 0.28 per cent to end at 638.05 points, with the gainers outnumbering the losers by 14 to 8.

Masan Group (MSN) Vinamilk (VNM), Vingroup (VIC) and Da Nang Rubber Corporation (DRC) were among the gainers, while the stocks of Hoa Phat Group (HPG), Hoa Sen Group (HSG) and Kinh Do Corporation (KDC) fell.

On the Ha Noi Exchange, the HNX-Index advanced 0.21 per cent to finish at 81.02 points, while the HNXFF-Index edged up 0.06 per cent to stand at 81.15 points.

The HNX30-Index closed at 165.44 points, 0.38 per cent higher.

With 25.7 million shares traded, the trading value reached VND343.4 billion ($16.2 million).
