The U.S. dollar gained slightly against the Vietnamese dong Tuesday morning.
Vietcombank sold the greenback 0.11% higher at VND26,400.
The State Bank of Vietnam hiked its reference rate 0.09% higher at VND25,206.
On the black market the dollar went up 0.04% to VND26,460.
Globally the Indian rupee is likely to open weaker on Tuesday, weighed down by a jump in the dollar index following a steep decline in the euro, as investors digested the implications of the recent U.S.-E.U. trade deal, Reuters reported.
The 1-month non-deliverable forward indicated the rupee will open in the 86.75-86.77 range versus the U.S. dollar, compared with 86.6650 in the previous session.
Asian currencies were mostly nursing modest declines on the day and regional equities were largely weaker.
