MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market:

• Vietnam:
  The market rebounded thanks to support at the MA(20) zone around 1,480 points, forming a Hammer candle that signals an effort to support after strong profit-taking. Liquidity, while lower, remained high – indicating ongoing capital inflow. However, this rebound appears mostly technical, aiming to retest supply near the 1,536 resistance level.

• U.S.:
  S&P 500 fell slightly by 0.1% to 6,362.90, Dow Jones lost 0.4% to 44,461.28, while Nasdaq edged up 0.1% to 21,129.67.
  The Fed kept rates at 4.25–4.50%. Chair Powell emphasized no rate cuts in September, lowering market expectations. U.S. markets are now in mild accumulation mode, reflecting a wait-and-see attitude toward the Fed’s policy stance and upcoming economic reports. The next trend depends heavily on monetary policy moves and macroeconomic developments.
