The stock market had an emotional week with a breakout on Wednesday (April 8), with VN-Index rising nearly 80 points and widespread gains across the market. According to Ms. Vu Thi Quynh Trang – an analyst at Pinetree Securities, the rally was driven by three main factors: (1) a cabinet reshuffle with the new Prime Minister Le Minh Hung declaring GDP growth above 10% as a development mandate and the central bank ordering banks to cut lending rates by 0.5%–1% to stabilize macroeconomics; (2) FTSE Russell confirming Vietnam’s path to emerging market status in September 2026, boosting foreign capital confidence; (3) easing Middle East tensions through a two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran, which led world oil prices to drop by more than 15%, easing global inflation pressures. Technically, the strong rally created a large gap up around the 1,677–1,705 point region. Short-term profit-taking pressure showed up on Thursday and Friday, but the market quickly stabilized and did not fall sharply, signaling that demand remains absorbing and supporting a near-term bottom. The analyst notes that no “super wave” of growth is likely, and any significant global event can still cause substantial intraday swings. The gap below (around 1,677) and the nearby gap above (around 1,769) may fuel ongoing volatility. For strategy, investors should avoid FOMO and prioritize watching for a cooling-down phase to fill the gap before fresh deployment, focusing on stocks with solid fundamentals that have not rallied too hard. Specific stocks to watch include: TCB, which is drawing strong liquidity; HPG, which needs to break out from the 28–29 consolidation; and MSN, whose valuation appears attractive based on expectations of foreign capital inflows after the upgrade.
