The VN-Index continued its recent slow but steady climb higher on Tuesday, closing up two tenths of a percent. The index has risen seven of the last eight days and 2.9% over that period. VNM (+2.8%) was the top contributor to the day’s gain for a second day, extending yesterday’s 4.3% increase. VNM, citing media reports, said yesterday that the Chinese government has completed a draft Decree that would allow VNM and other Vietnamese milk producers to export to China.
