Trading volume on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange surged by approximately 9.2%, reaching VND42.6 trillion (US$1.63 billion), a clear sign of renewed activity.
Most stocks in the VN-30 basket, representing the 30 largest companies, ended the day on a high note. Four notable stocks—VJC from budget airline Vietjet, VIC from conglomerate Vingroup, SHB of Saigon Hanoi Commercial Bank, and TPB from TPBank—hit their ceiling prices, illuminating a robust market sentiment.
