Novaland is among companies w hose capitalisation is valued at billions of dollars on the market (Photo: novaland.com.vn) Hanoi (VNS/VNA) – Vietnam’s stock market reached approximately 87.68 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as of the end of 2020, the highest rate reported so far. The other two high rates recorded were in August 2018 at 84.57 percent and March 2018 at 83.08 percent.

The VN-Index of the Hochiminh Stock Exchange managed to reverse course to end higher today, March 2 – PHOTO: VNA HCMC – The VN-Index of the Hochiminh Stock Exchange managed to reverse course to end slightly higher today, March 2, buoyed by a number of large-cap stocks that bounced back at the end of the session. Trading in the local market was busy in the morning but started slowing down in the afternoon as investors were concerned that a technical error would continue to clog trade when market turnover had remained high.

Many largecaps in the VN30 basket not only maintained growth but also rose sharply at the close, such as steelmaker HPG, lenders TPB and HDB, retailer VRE. Of them, TPB was the most outstanding performer as it surged 6.3% with over 17.1 million shares changing hands. HPG inched up 1.1% and led the southern bourse by liquidity, with a matching volume of 23.67 million shares. Regarding the performance of stocks by sectors, bank stocks including STB, TPB, TCB, LPB, and HDB were the major cash magnets, followed by brokerages SSI and HCM, fertilizer producers DCM, BFC, and DPM. Meanwhile, real estate, construction and fuel stocks bucked the market trend and ended in negative territory.
