The global foreign exchange scene shows the US Dollar Index holding near 101.15, reflecting a persistent bid for the greenback as markets digest rate expectations. The index has advanced for a fourth consecutive week, with the one day value at 101.15, slightly below the prior session's 101.153, while the 7 day reading sits around 100.846 and the 30 day reading near 101.366, indicating a broad range but a constructive trend for the dollar over a month.
Domestically, the VND quotes against a broad set of currencies reveal USD dominance in the pricing structure. The US dollar is offered at a buy of 26,140 and a sell of 26,520 VND per USD, with the previous day’s sell level at 26,520 and 7 days ago at 26,490, and 30 days ago at 26,454. Major cross rates show EUR/VND around 29,548.68 buy and 30,795.38 sell, GBP/VND around 34,674.74 buy and 35,785.14 sell, and AUD/VND around 18,143.34 buy and 18,724.35 sell. The JPY/VND pair trades near 157.34 buy and 166.51 sell, while CNY/VND sits at 3,831.32 buy and 3,954.01 sell. A handful of non traditional currencies display wide spreads, for example the Kuwaiti dinar quotes near 85,107.62 buy and 89,232.5 sell per dinar, illustrating the depth of the market across major versus exotic instruments.
Beyond the top currencies, the list includes CAD and CHF cross rates around mid 18k to upper 19k VND per unit, HKD around 3,296.15 buy and 3,422.18 sell, SGD near 20,050.85 buy and 20,734.38 sell, KRW around 17.09 buy and 18.55 sell, and THB around 764.95 buy and 797.38 sell. The data also show the 7 day and 30 day histories for several pairs, reinforcing a landscape where the dong moves in step with a USD dominated environment while reflecting local liquidity and demand across currencies.
The market news wrap from the past 24 hours highlights a USD rally in multiple outlets, with the currency index cited as rising for a fourth week as global rate expectations remain on the radar. Local reporting also notes gold price activity with reports of a narrow to moderate gap between buying and selling prices in the local market, described as a spread around 4 million VND per tael in some outlets. While FX remains the core focus, these gold headlines underscore ongoing attention to macro signals and hedging dynamics shaping short term liquidity and sentiment.
Overall, the domestic FX market continues to price a USD-biased environment with a broad spectrum of quotes across currencies. The key takeaway is the resilience of the USD index around the 101 mark and a wide range of VND cross rates, signaling sustained liquidity and sensitivity to policy cues and macro data in the weeks ahead.
