| A trader at An Binh Securities Co. Vietnamese shares rebounded on Tuesday morning as bargain-hunting activity lifted the large-cap sector. |
The benchmark VN-Index on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange gained 0.78 per cent to close at 835.84 points.

Among gainers were property firms Vinhomes (VHM), Vincom Retail (VRE), and Vingroup (VIC), steel maker Hoa Phat (HPG), brewer Sabeco (SAB) and Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BID).
