The stock market bulletin records notable developments, providing investors with multi-dimensional information about trends and growth potential. Below is a summary of some of the highlights and analysis of the market situation in the form of a bulletin.

“Pyn Elite Fund, a "shark" investor, experienced a decline in performance due to a sharp increase in VIC shares, deviating from its portfolio targets.

VIC shares continued their impressive upward trend, significantly impacting the performance of PYN Elite Fund due to its low weighting in the portfolio, which meant the fund's returns couldn't keep pace with the market.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Impact on: VIC, PYN
    • Analysis: The sudden surge in VIC's stock price presents a portfolio restructuring challenge for investment funds that do not hold a significant proportion of this stock. Individual investors can take advantage of short-term opportunities with trend-following trading strategies. However, in the long term, it is necessary to monitor the project implementation progress and VIC's financial situation to avoid risks. Investors should diversify their portfolios to mitigate the impact of a single stock experiencing an unusually strong surge.

US stocks hit new highs, oil prices rose on expectations of looser monetary policy.

Expectations of further interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and a global economic recovery fueled positive sentiment, helping US stocks reach new highs and WTI oil prices surge past key resistance levels.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Impacts: ADP, CNBC, WTI, OPEC, ANZ
    • Assessment: The upward trend in global markets may support positive sentiment in the Vietnamese market in the short term. However, rising oil prices pose a risk of renewed inflation, negatively impacting the transportation and manufacturing sectors. Investors may consider reducing their holdings in sectors affected by energy costs, while monitoring opportunities in oil and gas stocks in the long term. It is advisable to wait for trend confirmation before making significant investments.

    • Impact on: SHS, DUNG, MBA, SSI, CHO, GIAI, TRI
    • Assessment: Changes in senior management could open up expectations for a comprehensive restructuring in SHS's management and business operations. In the short term, this information may not cause significant disruption, but in the long term, it could help the company improve efficiency and attract institutional investors. The appropriate investment strategy is to monitor changes in operations and business results in the next quarter. Caution is advised when trying to buy at the bottom during a period without clear signals.

World gold prices surpassed the $4,500/oz mark after disappointing US employment data.

The weaker-than-expected US jobs report fueled expectations that the Fed will continue to ease policy, leading to a strong influx of safe-haven funds into gold, pushing prices above $4,500/oz. However, the SPDR Gold Trust continued to be a net seller, indicating that the market remains cautious.

    • Signal: Negative
    • Impact on: SPDR
    • Analysis: Despite the strong upward trend in gold prices, net selling by large funds like SPDR reflects doubts about the sustainability of this rally. In the short term, gold may continue to experience significant volatility, making it unsuitable for safe-haven investments. In the long term, if inflation remains uncontrolled, gold will be an attractive safe haven. Investors should adhere to a sound asset allocation strategy and flexibly take profits during upward movements. Managing exchange rate risk is crucial when investing in gold through foreign funds.

Bitcoin's price in 2026 could fluctuate wildly between $75,000 and $225,000, according to an optimistic scenario.

Analysts believe Bitcoin could face significant volatility, with the possibility of a short-term correction to around $75,000 due to profit-taking pressure, but also the potential to rise to the $225,000 region if strong capital flows into the digital asset driven by loose global monetary policies.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Impact on: CNBC, DAT
    • Analysis: The sharp fluctuations in Bitcoin clearly reflect investor sentiment, oscillating between optimism and caution. In the short term, the market may experience sudden corrections, creating risks for leveraged positions. In the long term, if large institutions increase their investments, the upward trend remains favorable. Individual investors should be patient and only participate with a small proportion of their portfolio, avoiding FOMO and managing risk by setting clear stop-loss limits. Partial profit-taking strategies should be considered in line with key technical levels.
