Vietnam stock market and currency markets show volatility

VN-Index USD/VND exchange rate monetary policy foreign investment stock market volatility

The Vietnamese financial landscape experienced significant fluctuations on October 27, 2026. The VN-Index showed signs of technical adjustment, closing slightly down at 1,761.87 points. This movement follows a period of volatility where the market faced pressure from foreign investors selling off large-cap stocks, particularly in the banking and technology sectors. Liquidity remained relatively low as investors adopted a cautious stance.

In the foreign exchange market, the US Dollar (USD) showed strength globally, with the US Dollar Index (DXY) hovering around 102 points. This comes ahead of a critical week of monetary policy decisions from major central banks, including the US Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan. Locally, the central exchange rate for USD was set at 25,633 VND/USD. Meanwhile, the Japanese Yen (JPY) faced downward pressure against the USD, impacting exchange rates across various Vietnamese commercial banks.
