The U.S. dollar remained mostly unchanged against the Vietnamese dong Wednesday morning.
Vietcombank sold the greenback 0.02% higher at VND26,508. The State Bank of Vietnam lowered its reference rate by 0.11% to VND25,246.
On the black market the dollar gained 0.56% to VND26,870.
Globally the British pound and the yen came under pressure on Wednesday, following heavy selling stoked by renewed investor worries about the health of government finances globally and political uncertainty in Japan, Reuters reported.
Over in Japan, the yen was similarly down 0.2% at 148.62 per dollar, having slid 0.8% in the previous session after the Japanese ruling party’s secretary general Hiroshi Moriyama, a close aide to Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, said he intends to resign from his post.
The pound last traded 0.12% lower at $1.3378.
