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.

Oil and chemical stocks were sold off, with foreign investors making a sharp net sell of over 3.2 trillion VND.

The gains from the recovery were wiped out in the trading session, with the VN-Index plummeting from a peak of 30.7 points to a decrease of 9.76 points. Large-cap stocks in the banking and oil and gas sectors were heavily sold off, with some hitting their lower limit.

    • Signal: Negative
    • Impact on: GAS, PLX, GVR, VJC, MWG, VRE, STB, VNM, BID, VIC
    • Analysis: The sudden and significant net selling by foreign investors is a worrying sign, reflecting caution or capital withdrawal from the market. This could put considerable downward pressure on major sectors such as oil and gas, chemicals, and banking in the short term. Investors should closely monitor foreign capital flows and consider reducing their holdings in affected stocks to manage risk.

The market recovered strongly, and stock prices surged.

The rebound in global stock markets, particularly the US stock market, has bolstered positive sentiment in the domestic market, especially after the impressive reversal in the previous session. The VN-Index rose by 1,031 TP3T, with the number of gainers exceeding losers by 1.6 times, and the securities sector standing out and attracting strong capital inflows.

    • Signal: Positive
    • Impact on: SSI, VIX, VCI, HCM, VUA, TCX, APG, VPX, VCK, VHM
    • Assessment: The strong recovery of the market, especially in the securities sector, indicates a significant improvement in investor sentiment. This presents a good opportunity to consider leading securities stocks with expectations of increased liquidity and trading activity. However, investors need to select stocks with strong fundamentals and effective risk management to optimize profits.

Two ETFs with a combined capital of $1.2 billion are set to buy into three notable stocks.

This March, two ETFs, formerly the FTSE Vietnam Index (STOXX Vietnam) and the MarketVector Vietnam Local Index (VNM ETF), with a total capital under management of nearly $1.2 billion, will restructure their portfolios from March 16th to March 20th. The specific stocks that these two funds might add to their portfolios are currently the focus of attention.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Impact on: FTSE, VNM, MSCI, LEAD, VFM, VIC, FPT, MSN, SHB, MBS
    • Analysis: The restructuring of portfolios by large ETFs and their planned purchases will create significant demand for newly added stocks, driving prices up in the short term. This presents an opportunity for investors to capitalize on large capital inflows, but careful research into the ETFs' planned portfolios and the positions of those stocks is necessary before making decisions to avoid the risk of corrections after ETF funds have entered the market.

DNSE aims for profit growth exceeding 60%.

DNSE aims to increase revenue by 18.21 billion VND and pre-tax profit by 61.81 billion VND in 2026, plans to distribute dividends of 71 billion VND of charter capital, and will issue an additional 3,500 billion VND in bonds to strengthen its financial capacity.

    • Signal: Positive
    • Impact on: DNSE, CHIA, ESOP, HCM, CHI, NGH, DSE, HNX
    • Assessment: DNSE's high profit growth target indicates a positive business outlook amidst signs of market recovery. The bond issuance to strengthen its financial capacity is also a strategic move. This could be a long-term investment opportunity for growth-oriented investors, but careful analysis of DNSE's financial statements and ability to achieve its targets is necessary.

Gold prices rebounded as the USD weakened, while the SPDR Gold Trust engaged in massive sell-offs.

The massive SPDR Gold Trust fund engaged in aggressive net selling during the trading session, offloading almost all of the gold it had purchased the previous week.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Impacts: SPDR, NATO, ADP
    • Analysis: The rebound in gold prices when the USD weakens is a common occurrence in commodity markets. However, the strong net selling by the SPDR Gold Trust suggests that some large investors are taking profits or shifting their investments. This could affect the sentiment of the precious metals market; investors should closely monitor USD exchange rate fluctuations and global macroeconomic factors when considering investing in gold.

US stocks rallied as economic concerns eased and oil prices weakened.

Two recently released US economic reports have brought good news regarding the health of the world's largest economy.

    • Signal: Neutral
    • Affects: AMD, ADP, ISM, PMI, CNBC, WTI, NATO
    • Assessment: The recovery of US stocks due to reduced economic concerns is a positive signal for the global market. This could spread optimism to the Vietnamese market. However, the weakening oil prices need careful consideration, especially regarding their impact on energy sector stocks. Investors should monitor global macroeconomic indicators to assess long-term trends and adjust their portfolios.

Fed officials again warn about inflation.

Some Federal Reserve officials continue to voice warnings about inflation, indicating a cautious attitude towards further interest rate cuts, especially in the context of the conflict in the Middle East driving up crude oil prices.

    • Signal: Negative
    • Impact on: AAA, CME
    • Assessment: Inflation warnings from Fed officials are a negative factor, increasing concerns about the possibility of further interest rate hikes or maintenance, putting pressure on global stock markets. The escalating price of crude oil further reinforces this risk. Investors should exercise caution, manage risk by reviewing their stock holdings, and prepare for a scenario of significant market volatility in the near future.
