The trading session on April 14 saw a strong rebound in the steel stock group, with prices rising sharply and liquidity increasing. The move was supported by a large flow of funds from both domestic investors and foreign buyers, making the sector a key focus of the market.
Hoa Phat Group JSC (HPG) stood out as the day’s top net-bought by foreign investors. The stock closed up 2.7% to 28,550 dong per share, with trading volume of nearly 62 million shares—about three times the previous session. Foreign investors’ net buying in HPG reached more than 174 billion dong. Since the start of the year, HPG has remained among the stocks foreigners have been actively accumulating.
Steel shares broadly advanced, including HSG (+6.84%), NKG (+6.74%), TVN (+7.52%), VGS (+5.83%), and SMC (+4.81%). Many tickers approached or hit their daily ceiling, reflecting strong demand from both speculative and investment capital.
The steel rally was linked to falling bank deposit rates, which has raised expectations for lower lending rates. Investors also cited prospects for ramping up public investment and signs of recovery in the real estate market, supporting confidence in a new growth cycle for materials.
Overall market momentum was positive. At the close, the VN-Index gained 16.69 points to 1,775.65, surpassing the 1,775 level. The HNX-Index rose 0.75 to 252.41, while the UPCoM-Index increased 0.6 to 128.3.
Real estate stocks benefited from gains in large-cap names, including VHM (+4.88%), VIC (+3.44%), and VRE (+1.27%). Other tickers such as TCH and VPI also finished higher, while several large caps—NVL, PDR, DXG, NLG, and IDC—declined modestly, around 1%.
Additional large-cap contributors included BMP (+6.94%), DGC (+3.68%), HAG (+3.36%), DBC (+4.99%), and BAF (+2.14%). In contrast, the oil and gas sector faced selling pressure, with BSR (-3.84%), PVD (-2.49%), PVT (-2.67%), PLX (-1.35%), and GAS (-1.73%).
The broad positive market action suggests capital is returning strongly, particularly to cyclical sectors such as steel and real estate. With monetary policy easing and expectations of an economic recovery, the market is described as likely to maintain a brisk tone in the near term.
