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.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
Global economic highlights for the week of December 28, 2025 - January 3, 2026: Gold prices plummet, copper prices surge.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
The week between 2025 and 2026 saw significant volatility in the metals market, with gold and silver prices falling sharply after reaching new highs, while copper prices continued their strong upward trend, reflecting a positive recovery in industrial demand.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Signal: Neutral<\/li>\n
Impacts on: FTA, NIFD, ABS, LME, MSCI, WTI<\/li>\n
Analysis: The divergence among metal assets indicates a shift in capital flows driven by expectations of economic recovery. In the short term, commodity stocks may benefit; however, fluctuations in input material prices need to be closely monitored to avoid profit margin risks. For the long term, investors can allocate a reasonable proportion of their holdings in mining stocks, combined with risk management using derivative instruments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n
\n
Ten outstanding socio-economic milestones for 2025 have been announced.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
The editorial board of Vietnam Economic Magazine\/VnEconomy has selected 10 outstanding socio-economic events for 2025, including macroeconomic policies, growth in FDI flows, and prospects for integration through new trade agreements.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Signal: Neutral<\/li>\n
Impacts on: XII, XIV, FDI, ADB, FTA, DWT<\/li>\n
Assessment: The release of outstanding socio-economic indicators confirms the reform trend and macroeconomic policy stability, creating a foundation to support the capital market. In the short term, banking and infrastructure stocks may benefit from expansionary fiscal policies. Investors should consider investing in businesses with stable profit prospects and those benefiting from the public investment cycle. Simultaneously, inflation risks and the actual disbursement progress should be monitored.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\n
Chip stocks boosted the S&P 500, while oil prices weakened amid concerns about oversupply.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
The US stock market opened 2026 on a positive note, with the S&P 500 index rising slightly thanks to technology stocks, while WTI crude oil prices fell due to expectations of oversupply and pressure from OPEC.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Signal: Neutral<\/li>\n
Impact on: CNBC, WTI, OPEC, DBS<\/li>\n
Analysis: The contrasting movements between stock prices and oil prices indicate divergence within industry sectors. In the short term, technology stocks may maintain their upward momentum, while the oil and gas sector may face downward pressure. Investors should adopt a portfolio rotation strategy across sectors and take advantage of corrections to accumulate stocks with strong financial foundations. Closely monitoring information from international organizations and staying updated on oil market supply and demand is crucial to mitigate the risks of volatile energy prices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Gold prices edged higher in the first trading session of 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
Despite recording an early-year rally, the world's largest gold investment fund, SPDR Gold Trust, engaged in significant net selling during the trading session, leading to a more cautious market sentiment.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Signal: Neutral<\/li>\n
Impact on: SPDR, CME<\/li>\n
Analysis: SPDR's net selling despite rising gold prices reflects a trend of divesting from safe-haven assets, indicating positive expectations for riskier investment channels such as stocks. In the short term, investors may reduce their gold holdings and increase their proportion of cyclical stocks such as manufacturing and financial stocks. However, it is still necessary to hold a small percentage of gold as a long-term risk hedging measure against unexpected fluctuations in macroeconomic and geopolitical markets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\n
Cryptocurrency market sentiment is looking up at the start of 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
After a prolonged period of price decline, the cryptocurrency market is witnessing a recovery in investor sentiment, with money flowing back into major coins like Binance Coin (BNB) and XRP.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Signal: Neutral<\/li>\n
Affects: BNB, XRP<\/li>\n
Analysis: The improved sentiment in the crypto market opens up short-term investment opportunities for coins with strong technological foundations and good liquidity. Investors should be aware of high volatility and should apply day trading strategies or use flexible stop-loss orders. In the long term, coins with high practical applications will prevail as the market enters a stable growth phase; therefore, careful selection and a clear capital allocation plan are recommended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Only 21% traders expect Bitcoin to reach $150,000 before 2027.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
New survey results from investors show that the outlook for Bitcoin's price remains highly uncertain, with only 211 TP3T of traders believing the cryptocurrency will reach $150,000, significantly lower than expectations at the beginning of last year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Signal: Positive<\/li>\n
Impact on: BTC<\/li>\n
Analysis: Although bullish expectations have decreased, Bitcoin's current price remains higher than the average of the previous year, suggesting that the long-term accumulation trend is still ongoing. In the short term, investors should closely monitor technical support and resistance levels to optimize entry points. With a positive long-term trend, a strategy of periodic accumulation buying can be implemented, while ensuring risk control with a reasonable investment allocation and utilizing price volatility management products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
