Market wrap: Stocks flat; consumer names lead gainers
The VN-Index was almost unchanged on Tuesday, creeping up by only two hundredths of a percent. MSN (+2.9%) was the top contributor among gainers, reaching a three-month high after jumping 26% over the last month. Other consumer stocks across the board leapt, including VNM (+1.3%), MWG (+3.1%), PNJ (+4.6%). Banks couldn’t maintain their recent positive momentum as VCB (-1.6%), BID (-1.6%), CTG (-1.8%) and MBB (-2.1%) all slid lower.
