Vietnam’s benchmark VN-Index reversed a consecutive five session decline with a six-point gain Friday to close at 1,132 points.

This went against predictions by market observers that the index, which represents the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE), was likely to fall below the 1,100-point threshold Friday.
