Vietnam’s foreign exchange rates on 13/5/2026 show a broadly firmer tone in several major currencies against VND, while the US Dollar remains a key reference point. The latest domestic quotes continue to reflect a second consecutive USD-strength session, aligning with the global US Dollar Index holding close to the 98 level.
US Dollar (USD/VND): The buying rate is 26,129 VND per USD and the selling rate is 26,379 VND per USD. Compared with the previous day, the USD buying level was 26,373 VND and the selling level was 26,368 VND, indicating a slight upward shift.
US Dollar Index (global): The US Dollar Index is at 98.33, up from 97.966 in the previous day. Over the past 7 days, it is 98.03, suggesting the dollar has remained supported rather than reversing sharply.
Selected domestic FX quotes (buy/sell, VND): Australian Dollar 18,709.25 / 19,308.38; Canadian Dollar 18,917.26 / 19,523.05; Swiss Franc 33,221.56 / 34,285.42; Chinese Yuan 3,815.41 / 3,937.59; Euro 30,443.36 / 31,727.8; UK Pound Sterling 35,062.36 / 36,185.16; Japanese Yen 162.93 / 171.55; Singapore Dollar 20,352.5 / 21,046.31; Korean Won 16.98 / 18.42; Thai Baht 796.51 / 830.28; Hong Kong Dollar 3,301.83 / 3,428.08; Indian Rupee 273.76 / 285.54; Swedish Krona 2,783.49 / 2,901.5; Norwegian Krone 2,813.85 / 2,933.15; Danish Krone 4,064.23 / 4,219.63; Russian Ruble 338.67 / 374.89; Saudi Arabian Riyal 6,978.51 / 7,278.83; Kuwaiti Dinar 85,513 / 89,657.5; Malaysian Ringgit 6,627.95 / 6,772.12.
Daily vs. previous day (directional check): Several currencies show small changes versus the previous day, with the most clearly highlighted theme in the news context being USD strength. For example, the USD selling rate (26,379) is slightly higher than the previous day’s selling level (26,368), consistent with the report that the USD increased for the second consecutive session.
News context driving FX sentiment (last 24 hours): Reports note that the USD rose for the second consecutive session. Domestic coverage also highlights that the spread between free-market and bank exchange rates is close to zero, which typically reduces immediate arbitrage pressure and supports a more stable day-to-day FX environment.
Overall, 13/5/2026 FX pricing in Vietnam reflects a market that is following a firmer USD backdrop globally (US Dollar Index near 98) while many other major currencies are quoted at levels that suggest relatively contained day-to-day movement.
