The U.S. dollar fell against the Vietnamese dong Friday morning as it headed to a seven-day drop.
Vietcombank sold the greenback at VND26,130, down 0.07% from Thursday.
The State Bank of Vietnam’s reference rate was steady at VND24,960.
The dollar dropped 0.19% to VND26,380 on the black market.
Globally the U.S. dollar was soft on Friday, poised to make its first weekly drop in five weeks against the euro and the yen as worries over the United States’ worsening fiscal health sent investors scurrying for safe havens, Reuters reported.
The dollar index, which compares the U.S. currency against six other units, including the yen and euro, is set for 1.1% decline this week though it was little changed at 99.829 in early Asia trade.
