The VN-Index was in positive territory for the majority of Wednesday’s trading session; however, a sharp decline in the afternoon caused the index to close the day down a mere four hundredths of a percent. VNM (-1.5%) was the leading contributor to the decline. Beer manufacturer SAB (-1.2%) dropped for the sixth time in eight sessions. HVN (+4.3%) has jumped 6.6% in the past two days. CTG (+2.6%) climbed for the second straight day while VIB (-0.7%) cooled down following its gain yesterday.
