Release Time: 10:00 AM, July 30, 2025 Author: Mr. Leon


 

MARKET OVERVIEW

 

1. Stock Market:

  • Vietnam Market: The market saw a sharp and unexpected decline after surpassing the 1,536-point peak. This signals significant profit-taking pressure and a potential end to the recent rally. The 1,536 level has now become a resistance point, while the MA(20) around 1,465 points will serve as a near-term support, where the market may retest demand.

  • US Market: The market adjusted slightly after a consecutive winning streak. The S&P 500 fell 0.3% to 6,370.86, the Nasdaq dropped 0.4% to 21,098.29, and the Dow Jones lost 0.5%, or about 205 points. The pressure came from a series of disappointing earnings reports: UnitedHealth fell sharply by 7.5%, Novo Nordisk plunged 22%, and UPS was a letdown. Investors remain cautious ahead of the Fed's interest rate decision and the development of US-China trade negotiations.

  • GBP/USD: The trend is bearish; short positions can be taken today. Daily resistance: 1.34200.

  • USD/JPY: The trend is bullish; long positions can be taken today. Daily support: 147.800.

3. Gold:

  • Spot gold reached $3,343.15/oz, an increase of approximately +$9.48 (+0.3%) from the previous day.

  • Gold is currently bouncing slightly off a three-week low, hovering around the $3,327–$3,328/oz range. The market is closely watching the US-China trade talks and the upcoming Fed meeting.

4. Oil:

  • XTI/USD: The trend is bullish; long positions can be taken today. Daily support: 67.50.
