On the Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE), the market benchmark VN-Index rose 0.43 per cent to 1,191.44 points. The market breadth was positive as 222 stocks increased while 207 stocks declined, reported Vietnam News.
The index returned to the 1,190 point-level after last week’s correction. And the market’s move was in line with expectations from analysts.
“The VN-Index is forecasted to test the resistance territory of 1,190 – 1,200 points in the few next sessions,” Trần Xuân Bách, a senior investment analyst from Bảo Việt Securities Co., wrote in a daily report to customers.
However, the index might face corrections as it is going up, Bách added. He recommended that investors should rise stock proportions in their portfolios to 50 – 65 per cent. Regarding investors with a cash-rich position, they might consider disbursing a part of short-term positions in correcting sessions.

Domestic gold price hits three-month low
The domestic gold price on Wednesday fell to its lowest level since December 2020 at below VNĐ55 million (US$2,390) per tael in the wake of a sharp price drop of the precious metal in the world market.
The Saigon Gold and Jewelry Company on Wednesday rated each tael of SJC gold at VNĐ54.26 million and VNĐ54.6 million (sell-buy), down VNĐ350,000 per tael from the previous day. The total decline of gold price in the past three days was VNĐ800,000 per tael.
DOJI Group and Phú Nhuận Company (PNJ) also cut their buying price to VNĐ54.2 million and selling price to VNĐ54.6 million.
World gold prices fell on Wednesday to their lowest point in more than three weeks as elevated US Treasury yields and a rising dollar kept the metal on track for its biggest quarterly drop in more than four years.
World spot gold was down 0.3 per cent to $1,679.41 per ounce on Wednesday, after hitting its lowest since March 8 at $1,677.61. It has declined more than 3 per cent so far this month and 11.4 per cent during the quarter.
