MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market:

• Vietnam Market: The market continues to fluctuate strongly around the 1,520-point level but has shown signs of recovery, indicating that capital inflow remains supportive despite short-term profit-taking pressure. With the recent uptrend and positive sentiment, the market has the potential to extend its gains toward the 1,536-point target zone — the previous peak of 2022.

• U.S. Market:
  The S&P 500 rose slightly by +0.1% to 6,363.65 points, and the Nasdaq Composite gained +0.2% to 21,057.96 points — both setting new record closing highs. In contrast, the Dow Jones fell -0.7% to 44,693.91 points due to pressure from major blue-chip stocks like IBM and UnitedHealth. The market reacted positively to progress in U.S.–EU trade negotiations and a U.S.–Japan auto tariff reduction deal, helping boost investor optimism.

2. Forex:

• EUR/USD: Downtrend. Consider short positions. Resistance of the day: 1.17750

3. Gold:
Gold is fluctuating in a narrow range between $3,366 – $3,370 per ounce, with mild volatility of ±0.3%, reflecting market stability. USD strength and bond yields remain key influences.

4. Oil:

5. Crypto:
BTC is trading around $117,400 – $117,900, down slightly by 1–1.5% on the day — indicating technical profit-taking pressure. However, it still holds near the 118k level, maintaining a medium-term uptrend, with institutional flows not yet showing signs of withdrawal.
