【SMM Steel】Vietnam's Trade Remedies Authority has validated a complete application from local manufacturers seeking an anti-dumping investigation on prestressed steel bars imported from China. The petition aims to evaluate whether these imports cause material injury or impede the establishment of a domestic industry. The investigating authority has 45 days to review legal representation and injury evidence before making a final recommendation to the Minister of Industry and Trade on case initiation. Vietnam imposed AD duties of 9.79-28% on prestressed steel strand from Malaysia Thailand and China in January 2025 and initiated a first review on January 21 2026. A new probe on steel bars would expand Vietnam's trade remedy scope against Chinese steel products.

Weak Vietnamese finished steel demand kept mills cautious, with buyers delaying bookings and waiting for further price corrections.
