Earnings announcements for the third quarter dominated October, along with a strong one-day recovery on Wednesday in the Vincom-Tickers that helped the major index out of the red to close almost unchanged for the month.
News about progress in the trade talks between China and the USA had little impact on the Vietnamese stock market. The indices in HCMC and Hanoi moved in the opposite direction with -0.4% in HCMC and +0.9% Hanoi respectively.
