MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market:

• Vietnam Market:
  The Vietnamese stock market maintains its upward momentum and is approaching the psychological level of 1,300 points, supported by positive cash flow and improved liquidity. Breaking through the 1,263 – 1,273 zone has paved the way for further gains, with expectations toward the 1,300 – 1,310 range. However, this is also a zone where strong selling pressure may emerge, potentially affecting the next trend.

• US Market:
  On May 13, U.S. stocks continued to rise, supported by inflation data coming in lower than expected, boosting investor sentiment regarding the potential for the Fed to cut interest rates soon. The Nasdaq rose 1.6% thanks to the tech sector, while the S&P 500 gained 0.7%. The Dow Jones edged down slightly due to pressure from healthcare stocks. In light of positive inflation data and expectations of monetary easing, investors may prioritize tech and consumer discretionary stocks. However, it is advisable to maintain moderate equity exposure and closely monitor Fed policy updates and upcoming macroeconomic data for effective risk management.
