MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market:

• Vietnam Stock Market:
  Movement: VN-Index is trading within a narrow range, rebounding close to the reference level, influenced by U.S. tax policies.
  During session: Liquidity declined, buying power remained weak. Oil & gas stocks rose in line with global oil prices; steel, real estate, technology, and construction also traded positively. In contrast, banking, securities, and retail underperformed. Foreign investors continued net buying, focusing on HPG, VPB, and FPT.
  VN-Index: Consolidating around 1,670 points. If liquidity improves, it may move toward 1,645–1,600 points; short-term outlook remains positive but volatile. Priority sectors: banking, real estate, securities, and utilities.

• U.S. Stock Market:
  Wall Street closed mixed: strong performance in technology (led by Google) helped offset overall market weakness. Investors weighed the antitrust ruling against Google alongside signs of labor market softening. Treasury bonds gained, yields declined. Markets are almost certain the Fed will cut the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points at the September meeting.
