The VN-Index was experiencing a positive day on Monday as it nearly hit the 1,000-point barrier at 1:45 p.m. After that point, the index declined throughout the rest of the trading session to ultimately close down a mere one hundredth of a percent, snapping a streak of four straight positive sessions. VCB (-0.7%) was the leading contributor to the day’s tiny loss while VIC (+0.4%) was the leading contributor among gainers. HPG (+1.8%) jumped to a one-month high.
