In the short term, the liquidity of the VND willcontinue to improve significantly, resulting in the possibility of interestrate reduction in the interbank market.
At least 12 commercial banks, notably Vietcombank and Agribank,have announced to reduce lending interest rates to support businesses following a directive from the central bank.
Following a slight increase in the benchmark index andcontinued low liquidity levels in recent weeks, the VCBS believes that the marketwill continue to struggle and fluctuate in a narrow range before the holidays.
Experts from the company recommend short-term investors takeadvantage of the uptrend to take profits on short-term speculative stocks whilelimiting the opening of new transactions until the Lunar New Year holiday.
