As of 11/5/2026, foreign exchange (FX) rates quoted in Vietnam show broad stability across major currencies, with many “sell” prices (VND per unit of foreign currency) holding close to the previous day’s levels. The standout theme in the accompanying news flow is downward pressure on the US dollar (USD) in the latest 24-hour updates.
Domestic FX quotes (VND per unit): The USD is quoted at buy 26,117 and sell 26,367, matching the previous day on the sell side (previous day sell: 26,367). The US Dollar Index is reported at 98.01, with the previous day at 97.843 and 7 days ago at 98.461, suggesting a mild easing from the earlier week level.
Across other major currencies, sell rates are also largely steady versus the previous day. Examples include: Australian Dollar sell 19,295.41 (previous day: 19,295.41); Swiss Franc sell 34,261.68 (previous day: 34,261.68); Euro sell 31,659.92 (previous day: 31,659.92); and UK Pound Sterling sell 36,233.69 (previous day: 36,233.69).
Some currencies show small changes over the last 7 days, even when the previous-day sell price is unchanged. For instance: Canadian Dollar sell is 19,578.82 versus 7 days ago 19,694.33; Chinese Yuan sell is 3,928.71 versus 7 days ago 3,920.81; Danish Krone sell is 4,209.86 versus 7 days ago 4,212.21; and Japanese Yen sell is 172.70 versus 7 days ago 172.23.
Notable regional and other quotes include: Singapore Dollar sell 21,100.96 (previous day: 21,100.96); Hong Kong Dollar sell 3,425.83 (previous day: 3,425.83); Indian Rupee sell 288.58 (previous day: 288.58); Korean Won sell 18.73 (previous day: 18.73); and Thai Baht sell 834.39 (previous day: 834.39).
Middle East and Nordic currencies also remain close to prior-day levels: Kuwaiti Dinar sell 89,572.45 (previous day: 89,572.45); Saudi Arabian Riyal sell 7,274.44 (previous day: 7,274.44); and Swedish Krona sell 2,896.28 (previous day: 2,896.28).
In the news context from the past 24 hours, multiple reports point to USD weakness and a loss of upward momentum. Headlines include: USD facing downside pressure, free-market USD selling rates falling to 26,470 VND/USD, and the USD showing no sustained gains into the new week. Overall, the domestic FX snapshot aligns with a theme of USD softness rather than a broad surge in the currency.
