What signals does the market show?

Assessing the developments of today's session, expert Minh Chau, senior investment consultant, Mirae Asset Securities , commented that reaching the 1,300 point mark, the market had to go through a rather difficult period, mainly due to two factors.

Firstly, the supply of goods at the old peak in 2023 is quite large, foreign investors sold and withdrew quite strongly while foreign fund portfolios are in pillar stocks.

Second, in the second quarter, the market received many negative macroeconomic factors: exchange rates, inflation, the fever of the gold market,... investors became more timid.

Today's session results took place in the context of gradually less negative macroeconomic factors, thanks to which market sentiment became more stable, and demand became more confident, helping the market surpass 1,300 despite foreign investors continuously selling strongly.

The foreign net selling momentum is expected to end soon because of the expectation that interest rate swaps are gradually decreasing and returning to positive when the FED (US Federal Reserve) will be able to reduce interest rates in the September meeting, while Vietnam is also making moves to pull up high interest rates.

At the same time, the economy also began to recover after more than a year of policies to support most industries, so this period shows that the market has recovered and has many prospects in the coming time.
