VND/USD historic rates
Current market bias: Bearish for USD to VND.
Key drivers:
- Interest rate differential: The Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates, weakening the USD, while Vietnam’s strong growth target boosts the VND.
- Economic growth: Vietnam's target of over 10% growth for 2026 supports a stronger currency.
Near-term range: The USD/VND exchange rate is likely to fluctuate near current levels, around a recent low, reflecting a narrow trading range.
What could change it: Upside risk includes improvement in U.S. consumer sentiment, which may temporarily strengthen the USD. Conversely, political developments in Vietnam, such as upcoming legislative elections, could negatively impact investor confidence in the VND.
