The BIDV Securities Company (BSC) has forecast two scenarios for Vietnam’s stock market in September. Under the first, the VN-Index will balance out at 1,270-1,280 points, moving towards 1,300-1,320 points as liquidity improves and positive sentiment spreads through the market. The Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE) allowing the trading of odd lots from September 2 will also have a positive effect on the market. The second scenario will happen if developed economies show signs of recession and negative sentiment appears, with the VN-Index forecast at around 1,240-1,250 points.
