TL;DR

Key insights

Geopolitical tensions are overshadowing economic data, creating market volatility.

• The Middle East conflict is the primary focus for investors, influencing market reactions more than economic indicators.
• While weak US employment data typically suggests potential Fed rate cuts, current fears of inflation due to the conflict are dominating.
• The market exhibits characteristics of having ample liquidity but is driven by fear, leading to sharp drops followed by partial recoveries.

Vietnam's economy faces a dual challenge of cost-push inflation and weakening demand.

• Key economic data for February shows declining industrial production and retail sales, alongside rising inflation.
• The Middle East conflict exacerbates Vietnam's economic challenges by increasing oil prices and transportation costs.
• The government's GDP growth target of 10% and inflation control below 4.5% may be significantly impacted.

Monetary policy is shifting towards tightening, driven by inflation and exchange rate concerns.

• The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) is acting differently than before, not providing extensive liquidity support when interest rates rise.
• This shift is attributed to expectations of inflation and exchange rate pressures, which are key constraints for the central bank.
• The current situation supports the view that Vietnam is in the late stage of a monetary easing cycle that began in 2023.

A strategic focus on four key sectors is recommended for the current economic climate.

• These sectors (oil & gas, chemicals, insurance, infrastructure) are considered suitable for the challenging macroeconomic environment.
• The Middle East conflict unexpectedly bolsters the performance of some of these sectors, particularly oil and gas.
• For these strategic sectors, the approach should be rebalancing rather than aggressive trading, with a focus on holding the core positions.

Trading strategies should prioritize caution and adherence to technical indicators, especially for non-strategic sectors.

• For sectors outside the strategic four, a strict trading discipline is advised, focusing on observable data rather than speculation.
• When holding stocks, rebalancing should be done quickly and efficiently, while new purchases require significant caution.
• Key technical levels like support and resistance are crucial for decision-making, especially for new buys.
