The Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the strength of the USD against six major currencies including EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK and CHF, rose to 99.47 points, up 0.09 points from the previous session.
The dollar has been volatile this week amid conflicting reports about the prospects for US-China trade talks. Earlier in the week, President Donald Trump suggested that face-to-face talks had resumed, raising hopes of a reduction in trade tensions. The greenback rose about 0.2% on the day and is on track for its first weekly gain since mid-March.
Despite the uncertainty, market sentiment is now more inclined toward de-escalation than continued confrontation, according to City Index strategist Fiona Cincotta. However, she noted that there is not enough evidence to confirm a sustained recovery in the USD, as the currency has fallen about 4% since the beginning of April after the US announced new tariffs as part of its “Liberation Day” plan.
In the latest trading session, the USD increased sharply by 0.82% against the Japanese yen to 143.775 JPY, and increased by 0.42% against the Swiss franc to 0.82985 franc. In contrast, the euro decreased by 0.24% to 1.1363 USD, while the British pound decreased by 0.12% to 1.332 USD, despite the fact that the retail sales data in the UK exceeded expectations.
In the domestic market, at the beginning of the trading session on April 26, 2025, the State Bank announced the central exchange rate of the Vietnamese Dong against the USD at 24,963 VND.
The reference exchange rate at the State Bank's transaction office increased slightly, currently at: 23,765 VND - 26,161 VND.
In the buying direction, HSBC bank continued to lead the market with cash and transfer buying prices both reaching 25,943 VND/USD, the highest of the day.
Meanwhile, VIB continues to hold the position of the bank with the lowest purchase price, only 25,340 VND for cash purchase and 25,400 VND for transfer, a difference of more than 600 VND compared to the highest price.
