Vietnam Stocks Set for Highest Close in 2023 as Outlook Improves
“The key reason for the recent rally is the back to back
interest rates cuts by the central bank as well as lower deposit
rates at the banks which is leading to some liquidity coming
back to the stock market,” said Ruchir Desai, co-fund manager of
the AFC Asia Frontier Fund. “Earnings bottoming out by end of
2023 and the central bank being more dovish going forward can
lead to a sustained rally going into 2024.”
Vietnam Stocks Set to Hit Eight-Month High as Outlook Improves Vietnam’s stocks rose, with the benchmark index on track to close at its highest level in more than eight months, as easing monetary policy and government efforts to boost the economy brighten the outlook for the nation’s equities.
