Market wrap: VN-Index ended Thursday session with a gain

A decline in US markets following a 0.75% rate hike decision from the Fed on Wednesday night (September 21st) had a negative impact on the VN-Index in Thursday’s morning session. However, a rally in the afternoon helped the index to recoup the morning’s loss and close with a 0.34% gain.

* The utilities sector was the biggest contributor to the VN-Index’s gain, led by rallies from GAS, NT2 and VSH.

* Materials stocks showed good performance with gains from HPG, NKG, DPM and DCM.

* Financial tickers traded mixed with gains from BID, EIB and brokerage names such as SSI, HCM and VCI and losses from VCB, VPB, CTG and NVB.

* Large-cap names in consumer staples, including MSN, SAB and KDC witnessed small declines.
