TUG-OF-WAR

The market failed to gain ground and continued in a tug-of-war state around the 1,340 point area. Liquidity decreased compared to the previous session, indicating that both supply and demand were hesitant as the market fluctuated around the resistance area. The tug-of-war movement and testing of the 1,340 – 1,345 point area will continue in the next trading session. With efforts to maintain balance and positive impact from the previous upward trend, the market may still have an opportunity to ...

• In Q1/2025, GEG recorded revenue of VND 1.1 trillion (+51% YoY) and NPAT-MI of VND 378 billion (+322% YoY).

Solar power output decreased by 9% YoY due to cool weather, leading to a 6% YoY decrease in revenue, to VND 210 billion. In contrast, hydropower benefited from favora...

6PM Call: The 1,000-point psychological level

The cash flow witnessed the bottom-fishing actions, waiting for the recovery. However, the price trend has not improved and caused investors to fear buying high-price areas. Therefore, the market has not yet confirmed the rescue and still faces a profound downside risk. If the support level around 1,000 +/- 10 points cannot boost VN-Index to rebound, the index may need to return to the support zone around 970.

6PM Call: Efforts to keep balance

Market's downtrend was restrained and created a support signal when VN-Index and VN30-Index retreated to near the support area of ​​1,000 points. The current recovery is still a technical span to test supply and demand and the VN-Index's 1,060 – 1,073 points decrease Gap may still put pressure on the market.
