Morning of April 24: Central exchange rate increased by 31 VND

The greenback steadied after rising sharply after US President Donald Trump backed away from his threat to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and signaled a softer stance on tariffs with China.

Against the Japanese yen, the dollar fell 0.46% to 142.79 yen per dollar after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed the US was not targeting currencies in negotiations with Japan and called the 145% tariff on China “not a lock-in”.

The euro rose 0.28% to $1.1348, after hitting a 3-1/2-year high of $1.1572 last week.

“No currency is as sensitive to trade news as the greenback. The downside risk is still there, but a one-sided sell-off of the dollar is unlikely to occur again. The euro could surpass $1.15 if concerns about the Fed’s independence resurface,” said Francesco Pesole, an analyst at ING.

The British pound traded at $1.3281, up 0.2%.

The Swiss franc rose 0.31% to 0.8280 francs per dollar after rising 8% since April 2.

The Australian dollar rose 0.03% to $0.6362 AUD/USD.

Commonwealth Bank expert Joe Capurso predicts the Australian dollar could test the 50-day moving average resistance at $0.6286 due to global growth concerns.

The New Zealand dollar rose 0.24% to $0.5957.

The offshore yuan traded at 7.29 yuan per dollar after hitting a record low last week due to the 145% tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump on China.

Expert Scott Bessent said that the US will not proactively reduce tariffs first, but negotiations with China can help cool down US-China trade tensions.
