In the opposite direction, MSN (Masan Group) fell by 3.6%, followed by stocks like PLX, BVH, and VJC that decreased by more than 2%.
VN30-Index closed the session at 1,349.82, up 4.36 points. Liquidity reached VND4,597 billion ($199.3 million), accounting for 40% of the HoSE liquidity.
Small and medium stocks also recovered with VNSmallCap and VNMidcap up 1.15% and 1.58%, respectively.
VN-Index closed Wednesday at 1,301.53, up 7.97 points, with 294 gainers (19 stocks hit the price ceiling) and 143 losers. HNX-Index rose by 3.02 points (0.92%) to 333.04, while UpCoM-Index dropped by 0.27 points (0.27%) to 98.79.
On the three exchanges, 682 stocks were gainers (51 stocks hit the price ceiling) and 282 losers, with total transaction value at VND13,047 billion ($565.5 million), down 34% from the previous session.
Champions on Wednesday were real estate stocks with purple coverage like CEO, L14, DIG, and LDG, along with other gainers like G36, CKG, CRE, HQC, VCR, and SCR.
The purple coverage also expanded to securities stocks like EVS and APS, while construction stocks including CII, C4G, HBC, and PHC increased by more than 2%.
The dominant green in other sectors strengthened the market's momentum. In particular, EIB (Eximbank) jumped to the price ceiling, while VBB, ACB, and SGB climbed by more than 2%.
