The VN-Index on Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE) closed the trade at 1,100.76 points, an increase of 4.46 points, or 0.41 per cent. It recouped some losses on Tuesday after falling for four straight days.
On the southern bourse, 197 stocks performed positively, while 111 ticker symbols finished lower.

The VN30-Index, tracking the 30 biggest stocks on HoSE, also rose 5.14 points, or 0.47 per cent, to 1,097.01 points. In the VN30 basket, 19 tickers inched higher, while six declined and five stayed unchanged.
According to Saigon - Hanoi Securities JSC (SHS), in the short term, the market remains neutral as there is still a possibility of a technical recovery to reach the 1,150 point level if the benchmark breaks over the 1,100 point level soon.
In the medium term, the VN-Index will need a long time to find a balance area and form a new accumulation foundation after the deep correction, SHS added.
"We expect that in a positive case, the VN-Index can overcome the short-term resistance of 1,150 points to form a high accumulation zone within the range of 1,150 points - 1,250 points," the securities firm said.
