Vietnam Insight

Shares of Nvidia surged nearly 5% during Tuesday's regular trading session in anticipation of the results, boosting the Nasdaq Composite by 1.04% and the S&P 500 by 0.4%. In contrast, the Dow slipped 0.28%, marking its fifth loss in the past six sessions. These moves came as markets largely shrugged off geopolitical concerns, including Russian President Vladimir Putin’s revision of Russia's nuclear doctrine, which lowered the threshold for nuclear retaliation in response to US-backed Ukrainian missile strikes inside Russian territory. Elsewhere, investors looked forward to fresh commentary from Federal Reserve officials.

VNINDEX closed at 1,205.15 (-11.97 points, -0.98%) with liquidity lower than the 20-session average. The market had 83 green codes and 287 red codes.
