MARKET OVERVIEW

  1. Stock Market:

    • Vietnam Market: Maintained a crucial support level at 1,300 points and recorded efforts to surpass the resistance level of 1,310, driven by the price increase of some blue-chip stocks and the banking group. However, net selling pressure from foreign investors remains a factor to closely monitor in the near future to assess the next trend.

    • US Stock Market: Experienced a sharp decline due to a 25% tariff imposed by Trump, with the Dow Jones down 1.55%, S&P 500 down 1.22%, and Nasdaq down 0.35%. Selling pressure was concentrated in the automotive and retail sectors. The market may fluctuate, with a slight recovery possible if trade negotiations are positive, but the risk of a deeper decline remains if tensions escalate.

  2. Forex:

    • GBP/USD: Showed an upward trend since the beginning of the week, and today may present an opportunity to enter a long position.

    • AUD/USD: Also showed an upward trend since the beginning of the week, but downward pressure remains strong, requiring further signals to consider trading.

  3. Gold:

    • After the first two days of the week from March 3 to March 5, gold prices continued to rise from 2,835 to 2,927 without signs of stopping. The weekly trend remains upward.

  4. Oil:

    • Continued its downward trend but is approaching a strong support level at 67.1. It is necessary to observe the price action at this level before trading.

  5. Bitcoin:

    • The support level at 80,000 is holding well. This morning, March 5, the price recovered from 80,000 to 87,000.
