The main impetus came from US President Donald Trump's conciliatory remarks towards China - a country he had threatened to impose 100% tariffs on goods.

In Hong Kong (China), the Hang Seng index rose slightly by 0.3% to 25,955.27 points. The Shanghai market also recorded an increase of 0.5%, with the Composite index reaching 3,910.17 points.

Exchanges in Singapore, Seoul, Sydney, Taipei and Manila all gained, while Wellington and Jakarta bucked the trend, falling slightly during the session.

The Tokyo market recorded a downward trend due to the impact of political instability in Japan. The Nikkei 225 index fell 1.2% to 47,520.57 points.

Neil Wilson from Saxo Markets said that after the recent recovery, the market is in a state of tension and even a negative news can cause investors to rush to sell, showing that the market sentiment is leaning towards a correction trend.

In Vietnam, at 10:47 a.m. ( Hanoi time), the VN-Index increased by 19.59 points (1.11%) to 1,784.71 points; the HNX-Index increased by 2.43 points (0.88%) to 277.78 points.
