According to many experts, the stock market has not yet fully revalued the high profit base of the Q1/2026 business results season.The index movement is still mainly dominated by some individual stocks with their own stories, while most stocks have reflected quite deeply the risk of growth decline from the prolonged energy shock and high interest rates.This shows that the market is The current market context is still in a state of accumulation to create a foundation to wait for the peak.
Current cash flow has not spread widely but mainly focuses on leading stock groups such as Vingroup.The market is lacking a strong boost or cash flow to create an overall wave while factors such as high oil prices, inflationary pressure and current deposit/lending interest rates higher than last year are dominating short-term cash flow.
Therefore, investors believe that the market is in a state of waiting for specific cooling signals from CPI and interest rates to be able to enter a more favorable upward wave.If the Middle East situation eases and oil prices fall to the 75-80 USD/barrel range, this will be a necessary condition to regulate interest rates in a more "comfortable" direction.
