The other six declined and two were unchanged.
Ocean Group (OGC) continued to be the most active stock nationwide with 14.3 million shares traded. OGC increased 4.73 per cent to VND37,600 ($1.93).
In Ha Noi, the HNX-Index slid 1.31 per cent to 131.57. Trading volume dropped 23 per cent to almost 40.4 million shares worth slightly more than VND1 trillion ($51.3 million).
The number of declines were five times higher than that of advances.
Eight of the ten largest shares by capitalisation declined. Only Tien Phong Plastics (NTP) rose. Asia Commercial Bank (ACB) and Sai Gon-Ha Noi Bank (SHB) were unchanged.
