The VN-Index climbed further on Tuesday, closing up three tenths of a percent. This was a strong showing given a sharp pullback in US markets overnight and a sell-off in most Asian markets today, reflected in a 1.8% drop in the MCSI Asia Apex 50 index. VHM (+2.9%) was the top contributor to the day’s gain, followed by parent company VIC (+0.8%) and fellow VIC subsidiary VRE (+1.7%).
