The Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the strength of the USD against six major currencies including EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK and CHF, reached 99.47 points, up 0.09 points from the previous day.
The dollar has been volatile this week amid mixed signals about a possible thaw in trade tensions between the US and China. On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump suggested that face-to-face talks had begun, raising expectations of a de-escalation of the tariff war.
The greenback rose about 0.2% on the day and is on track for its first weekly gain since mid-March. While the picture is not yet clear, there is a sense that the situation is no longer escalating and moving in a more conciliatory direction, said Fiona Cincotta, market strategist at City Index.
However, despite some positive signs, the market still lacks the certainty needed to completely reverse the trend of capital outflows from the USD. Since Mr. Trump announced the “Liberation Day” tariffs in early April, the USD has lost about 4% of its value. Cincotta noted that while the USD is recovering from oversold territory, it is too early to expect a sustained recovery.
In the latest trading session, the US dollar rose 0.82% against the Japanese yen to 143.775 JPY, and increased 0.42% against the Swiss franc to 0.82985 franc. Meanwhile, the euro fell 0.24% to 1.1363 USD, while the British pound also fell 0.12% to 1.332 USD, despite better-than-expected UK retail sales results.
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.
The selling price recorded a slight increase at a number of banks, but it is noteworthy that the lowest selling price still belonged to VIB with 25,760 VND/USD in both forms.
The highest selling price of the day was 26,211 VND/USD, listed by four banks including GPBank, LPBank , OceanBank and PGBank.
In addition, banks such as ACB , BIDV, Vietcombank, Techcombank or VietinBank keep the selling price in the range of 26,195 to 26,210 VND/USD.
