The U.S. dollar rose against the Vietnamese dong on the black market Saturday morning.

The greenback went up 0.19% to VND26,700 at unofficial exchange points.

Vietcombank kept its rate steady at VND26,381.

Globally sterling rose on Friday and was set for its best week against the dollar since August, after stronger-than-expected U.K. retail sales and business activity figures ended a week of mixed economic data, Reuters reported.

The British pound was last 0.2% higher at $1.3525 and set for its biggest weekly jump since August with a rise of just over 1%.

The euro was down 0.36% at 86.73 pence.
