MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market:

  • Vietnam Market: The market declined to 1,306 points, with increasing liquidity indicating selling pressure from foreign investors. The signal of a drop below the 20-day moving average (MA20) continues to have a negative impact. If the 1,306 level is breached, the market may head towards the psychological support level of 1,300, where short-term support could help the market recover.

  • U.S. Market: U.S. stock markets fluctuated sharply. The Dow Jones gained +1%, the S&P 500 rose +0.55%, while the Nasdaq fell -0.14%. The technology sector continued to face selling pressure. The VIX index increased, reflecting investor concerns. Crude oil prices surged. Investors should remain cautious, monitor policies, and diversify portfolios.

2. Forex:

  • EUR/USD maintains a short-term uptrend, with potential buy opportunities today. Daily support level: 1.0861

  • USD/JPY is showing signs of establishing a medium-term downtrend. Today, traders should wait for confirmation before entering a position. Resistance level: 150.00
