Stock Market

In the midst of a volatile stock market, five renowned investors - Warren Buffett, David Tepper, Ray Dalio, Michael Burry, and Bill Ackman - have revealed their distinct investment strategies in their latest 13-F filings.

The VN-Index edged higher, forming a Doji candlestick pattern. This indicates a persistent tug-of-war as the index retests the old peak from October 2024 (1,290-1,305 points). For the uptrend to sustain, the index must breach this zone. Meanwhile, the Stochastic Oscillator ventures deeper into overbought territory. Investors should exercise caution if the indicator flashes another sell signal in the coming days.

The morning rally stalled as the market turned mixed. However, the inflows remained robust, with a higher degree of selectivity. Real estate stocks took center stage, with several stocks witnessing strong gains and attracting significant capital inflows.

As of the fourth quarter of 2024, 465 listed companies, representing 31.5% of the total market capitalization, have released their official or preliminary financial statements. However, the profit landscape paints a less optimistic picture, with nearly half of these businesses reporting a decline compared to the previous year's fourth quarter.

Liquidity weakened this morning, but demand for high-priced stocks remained robust. The banking sector played a pivotal role in the VN-Index's impressive recovery, surging past the 1260-point mark. Most of the blue-chips that experienced heavy selling yesterday staged a strong rebound, paving the way for a more vigorous rally in the mid and small-cap segments. Notably, foreign investors persisted in their net selling activities, focusing their attention on FPT and VNM.

This move puts an end to a potentially devastating trade war in North America.
