Vietnam’s benchmark VN-Index ended its losing streak with a 0.66 percent gain to 1,379.23 points Friday with several blue chips surging.

The index started off in the green and dipped slightly in the afternoon before climbing up and closed nine points higher, after losing 107 points in the last six sessions.

In the last two weeks VN-Index has dropped in seven out of nine sessions, dipping below 1,400 points for the first time since August last year.

Analysts of leading brokerage SSI Securities Corporation said Tuesday that the ticker could increase by 17.6 percent, with one of the contributing factors is the company’s plan to import its first liquefied natural gas batch in November this year.

VCB of state-owned lender Vietcombank rose 4.8 percent, followed by three banks, STB of Ho Chi Minh City-based lender Sacombank, VPB of private lender VPBank and ACB of Asia Commercial Bank.
