HA NOI (VNS) – The VN-Index yesterday fell below the psychological support level of 600 points, losing 0.86 per cent to close the session at 599.78 points.

The VN30 dropped 1.02 per cent to finish at 642.98 points.
Saigon Securities Inc (SSI), the biggest securities company on the HCM Stock Exchange, found itself among the few gainers yesterday, sustained by the information that the Australian bank ANZ would sell its entire stakes in the brokerage company.
SSI rose 5.14 per cent to end the session at VND30,700 (US$1.45) per share with nearly 14.4 million shares traded, making it the most active code.
SSI chairman Nguyen Duy Hung said ANZ’s divestment would provide opportunities for other foreign investors who could not buy-in because all shares allotted to foreigners had been taken since 2011.
The market volume changed little compared with the previous session, totalling 127.43 million shares, worth VND2.756 trillion (US$130.6 million).
On the Ha Noi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index ended flat at 88.57 points, despite rising for most of trading time.
