MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market:

   • Vietnam Market: The market is in an upward trend but faces strong pressure as it approaches the 1,320 – 1,340 point range. Increased liquidity indicates growing profit-taking pressure; however, capital flow continues to support and absorb selling pressure. In the short term, a tug-of-war state may persist, causing volatility among different stock groups. Nevertheless, with positive capital flow maintained, the market is expected to continue testing the 1,340 point resistance level.
   • US Market: The US stock market fell sharply due to concerns about the national financial situation and rising government bond yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 816.80 points (-1.91%) to 41,860.44 points, the S&P 500 lost 95.85 points (-1.61%) to 5,844.61 points, and the Nasdaq declined 270.07 points (-1.41%) to 18,872.64 points. The main reason was the poor outcome of a $16 billion 20-year bond auction, which caused bond yields to surge. The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.595%, and the 30-year bond yield surpassed the 5% mark for the first time since late 2023.

2. Foreign Exchange:

   • AUD/USD has an upward trend. Today, long positions can be entered. Daily support: 0.64250.

3. Gold:

   • Spot Gold Price: Trading at $3,314.94 per ounce, up over $32 in the past 24 hours, reaching its highest level since early May.
   • Reasons for Price Increase: Global gold prices surged due to a weakening US dollar and increased safe-haven demand amidst economic and geopolitical instability.

4. Oil:

   • XTI/USD: Trend is unclear. Limit trading today.

5. Bitcoin:

   • BTC/USD Price: Currently trading around $110,594, up 3.68% in the past 24 hours.
   • Market Sentiment: Bitcoin continues its rally, reaching a new all-time high, driven by the recovery of the cryptocurrency market and optimistic investor sentiment.
