MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market:

• Vietnam Stock Market:
  The market continues its upward trend but shows caution as it approaches the previous peak of 1,536 points, indicated by small candlesticks and slightly increased liquidity. Despite profit-taking pressure, capital inflow remains supportive. The uptrend may extend further, but 1,536 is expected to be a significant resistance zone that will influence the next market move.

• U.S. Stock Market:
  U.S. markets continued to rally on July 25, with the S&P 500 (+0.40%) and Nasdaq (+0.24%) hitting new all-time highs, while the Dow Jones rose 0.47% to nearly 44,902 points. The momentum came from strong earnings reports by companies like Deckers Outdoor, offsetting Intel’s sharp decline. Market optimism is supported by Fed stability and expectations that Chairman Powell will remain. Capital is flowing into small-cap stocks, indicating a broad-based uptrend.
