Comments and recommendations

Mr. Pham Thanh Tien, senior consultant at Mirae Asset Securities, assessed that the VN-Index lost the 1,300-point mark quickly at the end of the week, mainly due to the market maintaining a long-term upward trend over the past 2 months, causing the psychology of drastic action to increase at this level. Although concerns are starting to appear in a negative trend in the coming time, this is only a positive adjustment phase for the new upward trend.

This week, active selling pressure will continue to prevail in the first few sessions of the week, the index may fall further before finding a balance zone, then differentiation will begin to appear between stock groups, many good stocks will soon increase again.

The end of June is the time when the semi-annual business results are "revealed". Therefore, the current adjustment is a good opportunity to buy stocks with growth potential in the next quarter. Investors need to have a careful analysis and valuation process. Some industries of interest are: Retail, oil and gas, aviation and technology. As for short-term investors, portfolio risk management and margin management must always be put first in any market conditions.

BSC Securities commented that the market struggled at the end of the week and fell sharply by nearly 22 points. The market tilted to the negative side with 15/18 sectors losing points with large liquidity, the index could return to trading in the 1,275 - 1,285 point range.

KB Securities believes that although the current signal is quite negative in the short term, the VN-Index will have a recovery reaction at the support zone around 1,270 points. Investors are advised to avoid chasing in early recovery sessions, prioritize selling to take profits from opened trading positions and reduce the portfolio proportion to a safe threshold when the index approaches resistance zones.
