USD exchange rate today 5/14/2025: World USD plunges

USD exchange rate today, May 14, 2025: The world USD "plummeted" due to the US inflation report for April, when the consumer price index (CPI) increased by only 0.2%, lower than the 0.3% forecast by analysts.

The USD Index (DXY), which tracks the greenback's strength against six major currencies, fell 0.86% to 100.93.

Compared to the same period last year, the US CPI decreased from 2.4% to 2.3%, indicating that inflationary pressures are gradually being controlled. This helps reduce the burden on consumers and businesses, and also affects expectations about the US Federal Reserve's interest rate policy.

The US dollar weakened in the latest trading session as lower-than-expected inflation data was released, just as President Donald Trump announced a series of new tax policies.

In addition, the US and China agreed to a 90-day truce in their trade war and a sharp reduction in tariffs also boosted global financial markets. Positive sentiment spread, causing investors to pour into stocks, cryptocurrencies and commodities.

Despite the easing of inflationary pressures, US bond yields still rose slightly. The 10-year bond yield reached 4.473%, while the 2-year bond yield rose to 4.004%, showing that the market is still cautious about the Fed's next moves.

In contrast to the falling trend of the USD, the euro (EUR) rose sharply by 0.94% to $1.1191. This development came after the negotiations in Geneva, where the US announced that it would reduce import tariffs from China from 145% to 30%, while China also pledged to reduce tariffs on US goods from 125% to 10%.

Positive changes in trade relations between the world's two largest economies have reduced expectations that the Fed will soon cut interest rates, while contributing to reshaping the developments of financial markets in the coming time.

On the morning of May 14, the State Bank adjusted the central exchange rate between the Vietnamese Dong and the US dollar by 28 VND, raising the announced rate to 24,973 VND.

At the State Bank of Vietnam, the listed USD exchange rate has slightly decreased compared to before, with the buying rate being 23,748 VND and the selling rate being 26,142 VND.

Meanwhile, the euro exchange rate tends to increase slightly. Specifically, the buying price is 26,640 VND and the selling price is 29,444 VND.

The Japanese yen exchange rate decreased slightly, listed at 162 VND for buying and 180 VND for selling.

This exchange rate movement reflects the market's reaction to signs of cooling inflation in the US, leading to a weakening of the USD in the international market.
