At first, the SSC will adjust immediately four types of derivatives trading service fees at the Vietnam Securities Depository.
Mr. Tran Van Dung, Chairman of the SSC, said that solution packages on monetary and fiscal policies of the US and other countries are necessary. However, the fact that the US Federal Reserve slashed interest rates too sharply and declared a national emergency without following its regular meeting schedule has affected the sentiment of investors around the world, including Vietnam. Therefore, the global stock market in general and Vietnam’s stock market in particular in the next days will possibly experience upward and downward fluctuations interweaved at a fairly high rate.
Amid the current context, the SSC will continue to manage the stock market with the attitude of respecting the self-regulation following the supply-demand relationship, minimizing administrative and technical interventions to the market when it is not necessary.
When the country can control the disease, with the internal resources of the economy, there are still many foundations to expect the positive growth of the economy in general and the stock market in particular.
‘In the current context, the SSC hopes that enterprises, intermediary financial institutions, and investors will continue to trust the internal resources of the economy, measures of the Government and ministries, as well as the endurance of Vietnam’s stock market to help the market to regain the growth momentum, especially avoiding unnecessary sell-offs,’ said Mr. Tran Van Dung.
In related news, affected by a nosedive of the US stock market in the previous night, Vietnam’s stock market opened the trading session on March 17 with a decrease of 24 points despite strong bottom-fishing demand. Fortunately, the bottom-fishing cash flow into the market was large, helping the VN-Index to regain rapidly. Ending the morning trading session, the VN-Index merely shrank around 7 points.
