The market scored big today, with the VN-Index appreciating more than six points to close at 576.26. The feat was largely thanks to impressive gains from banks, with the largest players - VCB (+3.5%), BID (+2.5%) and CTG (+2.2%) - all closing in the green. Second only to VCB, fellow ETF constituents - VIC and BVH - saw today's next-largest foreign uptake pushing them to gain 4.6% and 3.8% respectively.
