Vietnam VN-Index plunges near 50 points as global risk‑off pressure mounts

The VN‑Index dropped about 48‑55 points early June, slipping below the 1,800‑point psychological level and marking the steepest decline since late March. Liquidity remained thin, with order‑matching funds around VND 15,000 billion, indicating a lack of strong buying support.

Analysts attribute the sell‑off to a worldwide risk‑off mood, heightened expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will keep rates high or raise them again, rising U.S. Treasury yields, and lingering U.S.–Iran tensions that could affect oil prices. They forecast the index will continue to oscillate in a short‑term range of roughly 1,830‑1,850 points, with 1,800 serving as a critical support level, and advise investors to wait for clearer liquidity and broader market participation before adding new positions.
