On the Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE), the VN-Index gained nearly 13.3 points, or 1.09 per cent, to 1,237.46 points. It had increased more than 12 points in the previous session.

Breadth of the market remained in the positive territory as 238 stocks ticked up while 73 declined. Liquidity was higher than Monday's trade, up 10 per cent to nearly VNĐ23.1 trillion (US$936 million). This was equal to a trading volume of over 986.8 million shares.

The 30 biggest stocks tracker VN30-Index also increased 14.6 points, or 1.18 per cent, to 1,247.91 points. In the VN30 basket, 21 ticker symbol inched higher, while four edged down and five ended flat.

In the short-term, Saigon - Hanoi Securities JSC (SHS) said: "Although the VN-Index has recovered, we believe that it will face challenges in surpassing the significant resistance level of 1,250 points. Consequently, we anticipate continued market volatility in the upcoming period, characterised by strong sell-offs followed by a prolonged consolidation phase."
