Vietnam dong exchange rate fluctuations

Overview

In early July, the Vietnamese dong appreciated as the U.S. dollar weakened following a disappointing U.S. June jobs report. By the end of the month, the State Bank of Vietnam had set the official VND/USD rate at 25.320 dong per dollar, with commercial banks quoting a range roughly between 24.1 and 26.5 dong. The dollar’s decline, also reflected in a modest dip against the Japanese yen, was linked to weaker‑than‑expected U.S. consumer‑price‑index data and the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates steady, dampening expectations of further hikes. Speculation of Japanese government intervention to support the yen added to the dollar’s pressure. These factors together drove the dong to reach a historic high against the dollar over July 2026.
