Vietnam stock market and commodity updates

The VN-Index ended the week with a 0.77% increase, rising to 1,774.15 points, which ended a four-week decline. This recovery was driven primarily by the banking sector.

In the commodities market, domestic gasoline prices saw a significant reduction of 1,804 VND per liter. Meanwhile, gold prices experienced volatility, with SJC gold bars remaining stable while international gold prices dropped below the 4,000 USD per ounce mark.

Earlier market trends showed fluctuations in oil prices, which reached highs due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, though recent domestic fuel prices have trended downward.
