The banking group rallied and supported the market with gainers including Vietcombank (VCB), Techcombank (TCB), Vietinbank (CTG), HDBank (HDB), VPBank (VPB) and Bank for Investment and Development of Viet Nam (BID).
On the other side, many other blue-chips suffered selling pressure and slumped, including PetroVietnam Gas JSC (GAS), Hoa Phat Group (HPG), FPT Corporation (FPT), Sabeco (SAB), PV Power (POW), Vinhomes (VHM), Vietjet (VJC), Novaland (NVL) and Vincom Retail (VRE).
Insurance, real estate, information and technology and construction materials were among the declining indices on Tuesday.
Securities, retail, healthcare, oil and gas, banking, rubber production, food and beverage, seafood production, logistics and construction gained ground.
