VN-Index bounces back strongly after two-day slump. After jumping to an eight-year high, the market ended last week with two down days, suggesting the recent three-week 9% rally may have run too far, too fast. But today, after opening in negative territory, the index rebounded, surged late in the afternoon and closed at the high of the session, up 8.94 points, or 1.4%, to 673.50, less than two points shy of last week's peak.
