MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market

• Vietnam Market:
  VN-Index moved narrowly between 1,660–1,670 as investors waited for market-upgrade news and Q3 earnings. Caution dominated. Watch the 1,650 zone — if it holds, the uptrend may resume.

• U.S. Market:
  After strong gains, U.S. stocks are entering a technical consolidation phase. Treasury yields and rate-cut expectations remain key drivers.

2. Forex

• USD/JPY:
  The uptrend is slowing near 150.6–151.5 as markets worry about possible BOJ intervention. The USD remains strong, but momentum may temporarily cool.

• GBP/USD:
  The pair remains weak with USD strength dominating. The 1.34 level acts as short-term support; if it breaks, a decline toward 1.33 is likely.

3. Gold:
After a technical pullback, gold maintains a high base near 3,850–3,870 USD/oz. Safe-haven demand stays firm, but 3,880–3,900 is short-term resistance. Failure to break this range may lead to mild correction before recovery.

4. Oil:
Prices hover around 62 USD/barrel, reflecting demand recovery expectations. However, volatility may rise if OPEC+ adjusts output.

5. Bitcoin:
BTC shows a solid rebound after its previous drop, but the 112,000–115,000 zone remains a key test. A clear breakout could signal the return of a medium-term uptrend.
