The U.S. dollar fell against the Vietnamese dong but inched up against major peers Tuesday morning.
Vietcombank sold the greenback 0.008% lower at VND26,240.
The State Bank of Vietnam hiked its reference rate by 0.02% to VND24,998.
On the black market the dollar gained 0.11% to VND26,320.
Globally the dollar firmed slightly on Tuesday while the yen swung between losses and gains after the Bank of Japan left rates unchanged and decided to slow the pace of its balance sheet drawdown next year, Reuters reported.
The Bank of Japan maintained short-term interest rates at 0.5% as expected at the conclusion of its two-day monetary policy meeting and laid out a new bond taper plan for fiscal 2026.
The yen was choppy in the aftermath and was last slightly higher at 144.70 per dollar, with the focus now on comments at a post-meeting press conference by BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda later in the day.
Against a basket of currencies, the dollar was steady at 98.15.
Elsewhere, the euro was little changed at $1.1561, while sterling last bought $1.3574.
