The VN30 index, which tracks the performance of the 30 largest-cap stocks, rose 8.2 points to 1,045.24.

HPG of steel maker Hoa Phat made the greatest contribution to the VN-Index gain as it expanded nearly 5% thanks to the company's positive business performance in the first quarter. It led the market in trading value with VND575 billion ($24.5 million).

VCB of Vietcombank, TCB of Techcombank, and BID of BIDV bank were among the top 10 stocks with the most positive impact on the market, up more than 1%.

Meanwhile, three tickers in the Vingroup ecosystem - VIC of Vingroup, VHM of Vinhomes, and VRE of Vincom Retail - had the most negative influence on the VN-Index, losing 1.14%, 4.38% and 0.72% respectively.

Foreign investors were net sellers on the HoSE to the tune of over VND47 billion ($2 million). They mainly net sold VHM and VND of VNDirect Securities.
