The U.S. dollar fell against the Vietnamese dong Tuesday afternoon while gaining among major peers.

Vietcombank sold the greenback 0.03% lower at VND25,523.

The State Bank of Vietnam lowered its reference rate by 0.03% to VND24,308.

The dollar gained 0.58% to VND25,900 on the black market.

Globally the dollar was on the front foot on Tuesday as the prospect of higher-for-longer U.S. interest rates remained top of investors’ minds, leaving other currencies struggling near milestone lows, Reuters reported.

Against a basket of currencies, the U.S. dollar was perched near a two-year peak of 108.54. It was last at 108.10.

The euro last bought $1.0403 but was not far from a two-year low it touched in November, while sterling eased 0.01% to $1.2534.
