On the Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange, the VN-Index rose 0.27 per cent to close at 1,125.53 points.
Market breadth was positive with 256 rising stocks and 123 losing ones.
Nearly 687.4 million shares worth VNĐ14.8 trillion (US$609 million) were traded on HCM City’s bourse.
"The market rebounded above the MA(200) area of the VN-Index and approached the resistance area around 1,130 points. The dispute continued to appear as the market rallied sharply, shown by the Star candlestick with increased liquidity and cooling movements from the resistance level," said Việt Dragon Securities Co.
"It is likely that supply will continue to put pressure on the market and it is expected that the market will temporarily fluctuate in the level of 1,110 - 1,130 points in the near future. In the next trading session, when the VN30F2311 contract expires, market movements may show unusual fluctuations."
"Therefore, investors should be cautious about the increase in supply in the coming period. Currently, it is possible to take advantage of the market's ability to rise to take profits or restructure the portfolio."
