The stock market opened the trading session on December 25th in an upbeat mood, a stark contrast to the caution that prevailed throughout the previous session. The VN-Index quickly surpassed the 1,280-point mark thanks to the influx of capital into large-cap stocks, before narrowing its gains as investors took advantage of the opportunity to take profits.
