From the beginning of the trading session, financial stocks, such as banks and securities, gained positively, keeping the VN-Index from falling sharply even though many sectors were flooded in the red. Banking stocks that climbed the most on the floor at approximately 3 percent were VIB, BID, TCB, CTG, and MBB. Securities stocks, like VCI, HCM, and VND, also remained in an upward trend. Besides, penny-chip stocks, like HAG, AMD, ITA, and HNG, and steel stocks, including HPG, HSG, and NKG, also went up because of vibrant trading.

Specifically, VHC declined by 4.2 percent, ACL retreated by 5.1 percent, NT2 sank by 5.6 percent, VSH slumped by 4.9 percent, and REE slid by 3.5 percent.

Workers at a factory in Binh Duong province (Photo: VNA) A worker’s monthly income usually consists of the base salary, overtime pay and allowances. Do Thi Thu Hoai, an employee in Phu Tho province, said: “I have been working at this company here for five years, but the allowances have remained the same for me. “I see that several other companies provide an amount for accommodation support, but here we don’t receive any.” Each month, she receives her base salary of VND4.4 million (US$188), alongside the allowances of VND300,000 for diligent attendance, VBD150,000 for fuel charges, and VND30,000 for female employees. There was an allowance for employees with children of VND100,000 (US$4.30) per month, but this no longer exists, she said. She added that not only have these amounts remained unchanged throughout the years, but they also follow a very strict policy. The allowance for diligence, for example, can only be given if the employee has perfect attendance in that … [Read more...] about Workers hope for allowance increase amid price surge

Even though recovery across the South-East Asian region has been uneven with the Delta variant, most countries’ GDP including Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam have risen back up to pre-pandemic levels – with the exception of Thailand, which is still at 2 percent below pre-pandemic levels as its tourism industry struggled with travel and mobility restrictions. It was noted that Vietnam was not particularly affected by the Delta variant wave, and hence did not experience large lockdowns that impacted its economy as much as Malaysia and the Philippines did. Singapore, on the other hand, was able to take advantage of the increase in demand for consumer electronics globally to increase its GDP growth by 7.6 percent last year. Across the region, there is a marked lag in the recovery of the services sector in terms of accommodation, food and retail, but that is expected to increase with the reopening of borders and easing of travel restrictions. However, China’s … [Read more...] about Vietnam’s economy to grow more than 6.5 percent in 2022

The request on Tuesday from Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat, and Republican Marco Rubio followed a Buzzfeed report saying the short video app permitted TikTok engineers and executives in China to repeatedly access private data of U.S. users. The senators said such access raised questions over TikTok's claims to lawmakers and users that the data was protected. "In light of repeated misrepresentations by TikTok concerning its data security, data processing, and corporate governance practices, we urge you to act promptly on this matter," the senators wrote FTC Chair Lina Khan. TikTok said Tuesday that access to data "is subject to a series of robust controls, safeguards like encryption for certain data, and authorization approval protocols overseen by our U.S.-based leadership/security team." The company responded to the senators' letter by reiterating "TikTok has never shared U.S. user data with the Chinese government, nor would we if asked." The FTC confirmed it had received … [Read more...] about Two senators call for FTC probe into TikTok over U.S. data access
