* HPG (-2.8%) has dropped in seven out of the last eight trading sessions.

* In the banking sector, VCB (-1.0%), VPB (-2.1%), TCB (-1.3%) and ACB (-2.4%) decreased. Conversely, BID (+2.1%) jumped to its highest share price since July 9 and was the day’s top contributing gainer.

* Securities brokerages SSI (+7.0%), VND (+4.4%) and VCI (+5.4%) continued their hot streak.
