The VN-Index closed down two tenths of a percent on Tuesday, its second small loss in three days as the market pauses near a nine and a half year high. PLX (-1.8%) was the largest contributor to the day's pullback, dropping for a fourth straight day amid no apparent news catalyst. BMP (+3.4%) extended an 11% rally over the last six days amid investor expectation the Government will allow the firm to raise its FOL to 100% from its current 49%.
