MARKET OVERVIEW

  1. Stock Market:

  • Vietnam Market: The market plunged sharply but recovered at the 1,140-point level with a bullish pin bar, indicating strong demand absorption at lower prices. Increased liquidity suggests strong bottom-fishing activity, helping the market gradually stabilize after a deep correction. The market is expected to find support and recover, targeting a retest of the MA(20) line.

  • U.S. Market: Stocks rebounded strongly following the previous sell-off. The Dow Jones rose 2.7% to 39,186.98 points, the S&P 500 gained 2.5% to 5,280.48 points, and the Nasdaq climbed 2.7% to 16,300.42 points. This recovery was driven by positive earnings reports from companies like Equifax and 3M, along with expectations of easing U.S.-China trade tensions following remarks from the U.S. Treasury Secretary.
