Release time: 10:00 – November 18, 2025
Issued by: Mr. Leon

MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market

– Vietnam Market:
The market maintains its uptrend and has moved above the MA20 near 1,645 points. Liquidity improved slightly, indicating selling pressure is not significant and capital inflows remain supportive. The reversal signal at the 1,600 zone (12/11) remains valid. In the coming sessions, the market may continue rising but will likely face volatility near the MA50 around 1,668 points; corrections are expected to be supported by inflows.

– U.S. Market:
On November 17, 2025, major U.S. indices declined: S&P 500 dropped 0.9% (-61.70 pts) closing at 6,672.41; Dow Jones fell 1.2% (-557.24 pts) to 46,590.24; Nasdaq Composite lost 0.8% (-192.51 pts) closing at 22,708.07. Pressure came mainly from Nvidia and tech stocks due to valuation concerns and anticipation of upcoming major earnings reports.


2. Forex

  • USD/JPY shows short-term downward correction; short-term sell positions may be considered. Resistance: 155.350

  • GBP/USD continues its downtrend; short positions favored. Resistance: 1.31700


3. Gold

Gold is entering a bearish trend after a strong drop from 4,100 to 4,000 USD/oz yesterday.
