The VN-Index suffered its largest daily loss thus far in April, slipping seven tenths of a percent on Thursday as ¬nearly all banking tickers dropped. Banks VCB (-1.2%), BID (-2.2%), TCB (-2.1%), CTG (-1.3%), MBB (-2.1%) and ACB (-2.2%) were all among the top contributors to the day’s loss. EIB (+2.2%) — which has soared nearly 15% so far this week — was a rare bright spot in the sector. Steelmakers HPG (+2.8%) and HSG (+2.3%) both climbed for the second straight day.
