MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market

  • Vietnam Market: The market corrected after the Shooting Star signal, with increased profit-taking pressure. This correction is seen as a rebalancing phase, with the support range of 1,315 – 1,320 points, potentially attracting cash flow and creating a recovery opportunity.

  • US Market: On March 13, the US market experienced a sharp decline due to trade war concerns. The S&P 500 lost 1.39%, Dow Jones dropped 537 points, and Nasdaq fell 1.96%. Investors turned cautious, shifting capital into gold, pushing its price close to $3,000/oz.

2. Forex

  • USD/JPY shows signs of strengthening alongside the DXY recovery, suggesting buying opportunities today.
  • GBP/USD indicates short-term bearish signals, with potential selling opportunities today.

3. Gold

Spot gold rose 0.4% to $2,945.18/ounce, while April gold futures increased 0.2% to $2,953.62/ounce at 00:56 ET (04:56 GMT). The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for February increased by 0.2%, bringing annual inflation to 2.8%, lower than the forecast of 2.9% and down from 3.0% in January.

4. Oil

After Wednesday’s increase and Thursday’s decline, XTI/USD remains in an overall uptrend. However, trading oil on Friday is limited due to high costs.

5. Bitcoin

Bitcoin rose 1.8% to $83,511.6 at 01:27 ET (05:27 GMT). The cryptocurrency’s recovery was not strongly supported by the overnight rise in US stocks, despite lower-than-expected US CPI data.
