Market Outlook
The first trading session of the lunar year took place with the strong increase of Banking stocks such as BID, VPB, VCB. The rise was also widespread in the market, especially in Bluechip stocks when VIC, VNM, PNJ continuously broke through. In addition, the global stock market rebounded during the holidays and positive psychology in the first few days of the new year will also help the index continue to increase. However, the cash flow was still modest and only maintained at an average level which is a factor to consider. BSC believed that the market is in the uptrend and it is likely to surpass the old peak of 2007 in the coming sessions when the cash flow returns. Investors should consider good fundamental stocks with satisfactory Q1 results such as Banking and Real Estate sectors.
