[SMM Steel] Domestic Steel Market Stable as Trade Remedies Strengthen Protection Against Low-Priced Imports

[Vietnam] Vietnam’s domestic steel market remained relatively stable, with construction steel prices holding at around 532 USD/tonne amid limited exchange-rate fluctuations. HRC prices stood at around 515–522 USD/tonne CFR Ho Chi Minh City, with prices remaining under pressure from subdued downstream demand and cautious buying sentiment. As weaker exports and increasing trade remedies limit overseas sales, the domestic market remains a core revenue driver, supported by expanding public investment and urbanisation. With the government holding more discussions and consultations on trade-remedy measures, Vietnam’s domestic steel market is expected to receive greater protection from low-priced imports. Measures under consideration include tighter quality requirements to ensure imported steel complies with Vietnamese standards before entering the market, which could help improve the competitiveness of domestic producers.
