Stocks were led by bank and real estate companies on April 12 as they continued to soar on both national exchanges.
Following positive news on interest rate cuts and eased credit for the real estate sector on April 11, many shares in these two sectors hit their daily limit rise of 5 percent on April 12 , including HCM City Infrastructure Investment (CII), Tan Tao Investment Industry (ITA), Song Da Urban&Industrial Zone Investment and Development (SJS), and Khang Dien House Trading (KDH).
Sacombank (STB) and Sai Gon-Ha Noi Bank (SHB) also rose to their ceiling prices, while others such as Eximbank (EIB), Vietinbank (CTG), Vietcombank (VCB), Military Bank (MBB), Asia Commercial Bank (ACB) and Habubank (HBB) all increased from 1.7-4.1 percent.
HBB led trades nationwide with 26.6 million shares changing hands while MBB was the most active stock in HCM City on a volume of 10.2 million shares.
"The market is being supported in both the short – and long-terms," stock analysts at PetroVietnam Securities Inc wrote in a report, arguing that the exclusion of the real estate sector from the lending restriction list, as well as the likelihood of decreased risk ratios on loans for the real estate and securities sectors, will encourage money to flow in these fields.
The State Bank of Vietnam is planning to lower the risk ratios of loans on real estate and securities investments from 250 percent to 150 percent, and increase the lending ratio on banks' capital mobilisation from 80 percent to 95 percent.
