The U.S. dollar rose marginally against the Vietnamese dong Tuesday morning.
Vietcombank sold the dollar 0.04% higher at VND26,210. On the black market the greenback declined 0.31% to VND25,920.
Globally the yen was under pressure from a firm dollar on Tuesday as traders wagered on policymakers in Japan struggling to keep up with a hawkish turn by global central banks, leaving the country’s interest rates at a wide gap with major peers, Reuters reported.
After drifting lower on Monday, the yen traded at 157.33 versus the dollar early on Tuesday, while broader financial markets were buoyed by falling oil prices.
Other currency pairs were mostly steady, with the euro at $1.1467, though cryptocurrencies have rallied in the past day to lift bitcoin to an eight-month high above $87,000.
