Commenting on the exchange rate trend, Mr. Tran Hoang Son, Market Strategy Director of VPBank Securities Company (VPBankS), assessed that this increase was mainly due to seasonality.
According to VPBankS statistics, October is the time when businesses increase their demand for USD to import for year-end export for the Western Christmas and New Year holidays. In addition, the demand for USD to fulfill international debt payment obligations can also affect the exchange rate in the short term.
In addition, not only VND, currencies of emerging markets have recently been affected by the strengthening of the USD Index. The fact that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) may extend the time to lower interest rates longer than expected has caused the USD Index to increase continuously. In addition, recent US economic data has shown much more stability, adding strength to the USD.
However, this expert believes that with the trend of decreasing interest rates in the coming time, the USD Index may slow down. At the same time, after October, domestic demand for USD may decrease, thereby helping the exchange rate stabilize again.
