On the Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE), the VN-Index declined by 1.82 points, or 0.15 per cent, to 1,252.73 points. The index gained strongly in the last three days and peaked at a one-year high at 1,254.55 points on Wednesday.

According to analysts from Saigon - Hanoi Securities JSC (SHS), there is strong resistance after the 1,250 point-level and the VN-Index will not easily overcome the threshold in the short term. As a result, the market will continue to fluctuate in the short-term and may face a downturn.

Other stocks posting big losses were Vietinbank (CTG), down 1.11 per cent, MBBank (MBB) tumbled 1.02 per cent and Vietnam Rubber Group (GVR) fell 1.04 per cent.

The index pared losses thanked to rallies of some large-cap stocks which led by Masan Group (MSN) with a rise of 3.07 per cent. It was followed by Hòa Phát Group (HPG), Khang Điền House Trading and Investment JSC (KDH), SSI Securities Corporation (SSI) and Mobile World Investment Corporation (MWG), with KDH hitting the maximum daily gain of 7 per cent.
