MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market:

• Vietnam Market: The market recovered after two correction sessions and found support around the 1,290-point area, with increased liquidity indicating strong capital inflows despite continued net selling from foreign investors. The quick rebound has pushed the index close to the 1,316-point resistance area, which may cause short-term volatility. However, with the current momentum, the market is likely to break through this zone and move towards 1,320 – 1,340 points.

• U.S. Market: U.S. stock markets started the new week in light green, although the S&P 500 dropped 23 points (-0.39%) to 5,940.46, marking a new record high. Investors remain optimistic about potential interest rate adjustments by the Fed in the coming months, especially as recent economic data show signs of easing inflationary pressures.

2. Forex

• USD/JPY: Downtrend expected; consider short positions today. Daily resistance: 144.500

3. Gold:

• Spot gold price: Trading at $3,296/ounce, up $86 from the intraday low of $3,210/ounce.

• Reason for increase: Global gold prices surged due to rising demand for safe-haven assets after Moody’s downgraded the U.S. government debt rating, raising concerns about national financial stability.

4. Oil:

• XTI/USD: Uptrend expected; consider long positions today. Daily support: 62.00

5. Crypto: BTC

• BTC/VND price: Approximately 2.833 billion VND/BTC, with a 24-hour high of 2.848 billion VND and a low of 2.764 billion VND.
