Benchmark indices rebounded strongly on Tuesday after the previous session's correction, with gains spreading beyond blue-chip stocks to multiple sectors, led by property developers and securities companies.

On the Hochiminh Stock Exchange (HoSE), the VN-Index surged by 28.75 points, or 1.68 per cent, to close at 1,743.07 points. 

The VN30-Index, tracking the 30 largest stocks by market capitalisation and liquidity, gained 30.80 points, or 1.68 per cent, to 1,860.93 points.

The market's breadth was positive with the number of gainers surpassing those of decliners by nearly three times. Liquidity also improved, increasing from the previous trade to more than VNĐ16.9 trillion (US$661 million). 

Real estate stocks were the main focus of the session as strong cash flows entered the sector. Among large-cap stocks, Vingroup (VIC) rose by 3.24 per cent and Vinhomes (VHM) gained 2.65 per cent.

Other property developers also posted substantial gains.

The aviation sector recorded a notable gain in Vietnam Airlines (HVN), which hit the ceiling with a 6.78 per cent rise. Vietjet (VJC) also advanced by 1.41 per cent.

ANA Holdings became a strategic shareholder of Vietnam Airlines in July 2016. The two companies subsequently expanded cooperation through codeshare flights, links between their frequent-flyer programmes, joint sales and marketing activities, and product development.
