Banks have sharply increased their USD buying and selling rates, reaching all-time highs. Vietcombank listed the USD at 25,730 - 26,120 VND, an increase of over 160 VND compared to yesterday.

Similarly, BIDV raised the USD price to 25,750 - 26,110 VND. Meanwhile, at Eximbank, this bank listed the exchange rate at 25,730 - 26,100 VND. Compared to the beginning of the year, each USD at the bank is about 550 VND higher, equivalent to more than 2.2%.

The official market price of USD is currently not significantly different from the free market. Some foreign exchange points buy and sell USD at 26,100 - 26,200 VND.

Meanwhile, the domestic gold price, after falling by several hundred thousand dong this morning, April 8, recovered in the afternoon, reaching over 100 million dong per tael. Saigon Jewelry Company (SJC) listed the price of gold bars at 97.7 - 100.2 million dong per tael. Plain gold rings at SJC were bought and sold at 97.6 - 100.1 million dong.

Earlier this year, experts predicted that the US dollar index (DXY) could surge ahead of US President Donald Trump's tariff hikes. UOB forecast the DXY to reach 112.6 points in the second quarter, as Trump's tariff threats increased the risk of inflation returning, making the US Federal Reserve (Fed) more cautious about cutting interest rates.

"President Trump's high-risk tariff threats, combined with last-minute negotiations with America's trading partners, could become the 'new normal,' the bank said.
