After surging yesterday and being up for most of today's trading, the VN-Index paused, closing down two tenths of a percent on Tuesday amid low volatility and a low trading value. Financials, which often lead the market's movement, were mixed with VCB (-1.8%) and VPB (-2.5%) among the top laggards and BVH (+4.9%) and BID (+2.2%) the top two gainers.
