NVL, VIC of Vingroup (-1%), and POW of PV Power (-1.7%) had the most negative impact on the VN-Index.

In the week-beginning session, the banking, securities and steel stocks showed the best performances with many closing in the purple color like SSI, VND of VNDirect Securities, VCI of Viet Capital Securities, LPB of LienVietPostBank, HSG of Hoa Sen Group, and NKG of Nam Kim Steel JSC.
