Stocks rebounded slightly this morning after two consecutive falling sessions but market liquidity continued to slide.

The VN-Index on the HCM City Stock Exchange regained 3 points, or 0.78 per cent, to close this morning's session at 389.62 points.

Trading volume and value decreased, however, as just 22 million shares, worth VND253 billion (US$12 million), changed hands, down 12 per cent in volume and 22 per cent in value from yesterday morning's levels.

Gainers edged up losers by 109-67, led by blue chips as indicated by the VN30 Index's increase of 0.62 per cent to 456.22 points.

Insurer Bao Viet Holdings rose to the ceiling while other large-cap shares such as Vietinbank (CTG), Vietcombank (VCB), Vinamilk (VNM), VinGroup (VIC) and Military Bank (MBB) posted increases from 0.7-1.9 per cent.

Tan Tao Investment Industry (ITA) was the most active share this morning with more than 4.4 million shares traded, declining 3.8 per cent to VND5,100 a share. Earlier this week, when rumours began to spread that ITA's chairman had been arrested for illegal behaviour, the company's shares dropped to the floor price and remained there for two days in a row.

On the Ha Noi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index closed at 57.67 points, up 0.26 per cent, with a total value of almost VND125 billion ($6 million).

The domestic gold price yesterday rose to a one-year high of more than VND46.6 million ($2,233) per tael, thanks to the robust increase of the world gold price, which was driven by the approval of the German court on the eurozone's bailout fund.
