HÀ NỘI — Benchmark indices soared on Wednesday, buoyed by most of the sectors, especially in the banking and securities industries. However, foreign investors returned to net selling a large amount in the southern market.
On the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE), the VN-Index climbed 22.2 points, 1.36 per cent, to finish the trading day at 1,657.46 points. This marked its second straight day of recovery.

Analysts from SSI noted that the market has yet to show clear signals indicating an immediate return to a bullish trend.
Therefore, they recommend a short-term investment strategy focused on portfolio management, advising investors to actively review and reduce positions in stocks that breach support levels and to limit the use of high-margin ratios. — BIZHUB/VNS
