    • Impact on: HNX, SHB, HDB, MBB, TCB, STB, VPB, YEG, HII, HID
    • Analysis: The calm derivatives expiration session, coupled with record-low liquidity in the underlying market, indicates cautious investor sentiment but also reflects a temporary balance between supply and demand.

Maintaining a balanced and flexible portfolio is a suitable strategy during this period.

The tug-of-war among large-cap stocks continued to balance each other out, allowing the rest to trade steadily. Investors awaited developments regarding the afternoon expiration dates, leading to a significant weakening of cash flow. However, low liquidity did not significantly impact stock prices.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Impact on: VIC, FPT, VHM, MBB, CTG, VCB, BID, TCB, VPB, VPL
    • Analysis: The positive divergence in the market indicates that capital is becoming more selective in specific sectors, while the tug-of-war among large-cap stocks creates a balance. The sharp decline in liquidity is usually accompanied by cautious sentiment, but if it doesn't affect stock prices, this could be a period of accumulation for promising stocks. Investors should focus on internal business analysis and long-term investment strategies, avoiding FOMO (fear of missing out) driven by short-term fluctuations.

Market correction: Securities stocks enter attractive valuation zone.

The Vietnamese stock market is entering a correction phase as the prices of many stocks have fallen sharply, although the VN-Index remains at a high level.

    • Assessment: The market correction has brought securities stocks to attractive valuation levels, opening up noteworthy medium- and long-term investment opportunities. With the growth prospects of the Vietnamese stock market, stocks in this sector could benefit from improved liquidity and the launch of new products. Investors can consider gradually investing in stocks with good profit growth potential, while carefully evaluating macroeconomic factors and policies to optimize investment performance.

Gold prices surge, silver sets new record high.

Analysts also suggest that, with its strong upward trend, the price of silver is pulling the price of gold up with it.

    • Signal: Negative
    • Affects: DHF, PCE, SPDR
    • Analysis: The sharp rise in gold and silver prices, reaching new records, typically reflects investors' desire for safe-haven assets amid economic uncertainty or inflation. This could cause some capital to move away from risky investments like stocks in the short term. However, if this price increase is driven by inflation, businesses with precious metal assets or those that benefit from inflation may see positive performance. Diversification of investment portfolios should be considered to mitigate volatility risk.
