The VN-Index gained 1.36 per cent on Thursday.
Nearly 114 million shares were traded on the southern bourse, worth VND2.2 trillion (US$94.6 million).
The market breadth was positive with 183 gaining stocks and 142 decliners.
However, large-cap stocks were pulled down due to profit-taking pressure.
The large-cap tracker VN30-Index slid 0.06 per cent to stand at 862.33 points at the end of the morning session.

Banking, real estate, retail, technology, agriculture, and mining and energy were among the sectors weighing down the market.
On the contrary, plastics and chemicals, food and beverage, seafood processing, construction and insurance helped boost the market.
