Release Time: 10:00 AM, December 2, 2025
Issued by: Ms. Jenny

MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market

– Vietnam Market:

The market continues its upward trend and is approaching the resistance zone of 1,700–1,720 points. However, this zone remains challenging, reflected by a Shooting Star candlestick pattern and lower liquidity compared to the previous session. Supply pressure is not yet significant despite the sensitive price area, while supporting capital flow remains cautious.
The 1,700–1,720 range is expected to continue acting as resistance in the coming sessions, but the recovery trend established since November 12, 2025, remains intact. Minor pullbacks may occur due to resistance pressure, but they are mostly technical rebalancing phases after the recent recovery. MA20 and MA50 continue to serve as key support levels for the market.

– U.S. Market:

 

U.S. markets edged higher on December 1 as sentiment turned positive. The S&P 500 gained about 0.3%, Nasdaq rose around 0.4%, and the Dow Jones stayed relatively flat within a narrow range. The 10-year Treasury yield held near 4.33%, continuing to support growth stocks.
Core PCE for October increased 3.5% YoY, in line with expectations, reinforcing confidence that the Fed has ended its rate-hike cycle. Tech stocks led the advance, while energy retreated following the decline in oil prices. Overall, the market maintains its short-term recovery momentum, with expectations of rate cuts in 2024 remaining a major driver.
