On the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE), the VN-Index dropped 0.07 per cent to 1,173.5 points. The decrease went against expectations from analysts that the index might increase at the end of the session despite some strong fluctuations. The VN-Index is expected to slightly increase in the last trading session of the week. However, the market might face some corrections in the session with a clearer division between stock lines, Bao Viet Securities wrote in a daily report.
