The U.S. dollar went up against the Vietnamese dong on the black market Saturday morning.
Unofficial exchange points sold the greenback at VND27,000, up 0.19% from Friday.
Vietcombank kept its rate steady at VND26,405.
Globally the yen weakened sharply against the dollar and other major peer currencies on Friday after the Bank of Japan raised rates to a 30-year high but did not offer clarity on future hikes, Reuters reported.
The yen fell against the dollar after the BOJ lifted its policy rate to 0.75% from 0.5% in a move that had been well-telegraphed by policymakers, prompting traders to sell.
The dollar rose as high as 157.67 against the Japanese yen, its strongest level in four weeks and on track for its largest one-day rise since early October. It was last up 1.23% at 157.535 yen.
The euro hit a record high of 184.71 yen while the Swiss franc hit an all-time high of 197.23 yen. Sterling rose by as much as 1.36% to its highest since 2008, at 210.96 yen.
