Losses of other stocks weighing on sentiment were Sabeco (SAB), down 2.03 per cent, Vietinbank (CTG), down 1.54 per cent, and VPBank (VPB) down 1.76 per cent.

The index pared losses thanks to gains in some manufacturing and banking stocks, led by Hoa Phat Group (HPG), up nearly 2 per cent.

On the Ha Noi Stock Exchange (HNX), the HNX-Index reversed Monday's course to end higher on Tuesday. Specifically, the HNX-Index rose 0.37 points, or 0.18 per cent, to 204.86 points.
