After trading in positive territory for most of the day, the VN-Index dropped due to selling pressure at the end of Wednesday’s session to close down by three tenths of a percent while trading value on HOSE jumped 14% from the previous session to USD1.14bn. VIC (-1.8%) fell for its fourth session in a row and was the top contributor to the day’s loss. GVR (-2.6%) has declined in three out of the past four trading sessions.
