Blue chips send VNI to 27-month high. GAS, VNM and VCB’s early rally was soon matched up by the broad market. At the closing bell, two thirds of the tickers advanced on the HOSE. The VNI spectacularly gained 2.4% to 512.4, despite some profit-taking in the afternoon had taken away part of the intraday gain, recorded at over 15pts. Still, this ending sent the VNI to its 27 month high since 16 February 2011 when the index closed at 513.11.
