Bargain-hunting demand returned, lifting many blue-chip stocks, while oil and gas shares came under pressure as global crude prices cooled. A day earlier, on March 9, Vietnam’s stock market recorded one of the steepest declines in its history. In overnight trading, oil prices dropped sharply as investors rushed to take profits and reassessed the outlook for global supply. By 9:15 a.m. on March 10, oil prices had fallen to around US$85 per barrel, significantly lower than the US$118 level recorded the day before. On Vietnam’s stock market, banking shares became the main driver of the rebound.
