MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market

• Vietnam Stock Market:
  The market continued its uptrend, surpassing the 1,450-point mark, but is now facing strong resistance around 1,460. Trading volume increased, indicating that profit-taking pressure has started to return, though it hasn’t yet created significant downward pressure. The market is expected to slightly retreat due to short-term resistance but remains supported and has the potential to recover thanks to the recent upward trend. If it breaks above 1,460, the next target will be the 1,480-point area.

• US Stock Market:
  On Friday, July 11, all three major indices declined after hitting new highs earlier in the week, pressured by renewed trade tensions and potential tariff hikes from the US.

  • S&P 500 fell 0.3% (20.71 points) to 6,259.75 — slightly down for the week after strong previous gains.

  • Dow Jones lost 0.6% (279.13 points), closing at 44,371.51 — ending a three-week winning streak.

  • Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.2% (45.14 points) to 20,585.53 — a modest pullback after two record-setting sessions.

  Investors have temporarily shifted to a "risk-off" sentiment, awaiting upcoming earnings reports from major companies (e.g., JPMorgan, Verizon...) this week. Despite the mild correction, the long-term outlook remains positive. Tech and small-cap positions should be monitored closely for potential recovery opportunities.

2. Forex

• EUR/USD: Uptrend. Consider long positions. Daily support: 1.16700

• USD/JPY: Short-term downtrend. Consider short positions. Daily resistance: 147.500

3. Gold:

Spot gold rose to $3,361.19/oz, up about 0.2% from the previous day, reaching a three-week high due to rising demand for safe-haven assets following news that the US will impose a 30% tariff on the EU and Mexico starting August 1. Additional support includes a weaker USD and expectations that the Fed will delay rate cuts, reinforcing gold's role as a risk hedge.

4. Oil:

• XTI/USD: Uptrend. Consider long positions. Daily support: 68.00

5. Crypto:

Bitcoin has just set a new all-time high, gaining about 10% over the past week. This reflects a continued flow of capital into risk assets despite ongoing global political and trade developments.
