On August 24, 2026, the USD exchange rate in Vietnam has remained stable, while several other foreign currencies, including the Euro and Japanese Yen, have seen increases. The State Bank of Vietnam has kept the central exchange rate at 25,600 VND per USD, the same as the previous week.

Commercial banks are also reflecting this stability, with Vietcombank maintaining its buying rate at 25,930 VND and selling rate at 26,310 VND. Similarly, ACB has kept its buying rate at 25,940 VND and selling rate at 26,300 VND.

In contrast, other foreign currencies have experienced upward movements. At Vietcombank, the Euro has increased slightly by 6 VND, with a buying rate of 30,032 VND and a selling rate of 31,300 VND. The British Pound has risen by 34 VND, with a buying rate of 35,089 VND and a selling rate of 36,213 VND. The Japanese Yen has also increased, with a buying rate of 160.37 VND and a selling rate of 169.72 VND.

Globally, the USD has seen a slight decrease, with the USD-Index dropping to 98.79 points, down 0.05 points from last week. This week, several economic indicators from the United States are expected to be released, which investors will monitor closely to forecast future monetary policy decisions by the Federal Reserve. Key indicators include the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, adjustments to GDP for Q2 2026, durable goods orders, weekly unemployment claims, and preliminary estimates for non-farm payroll adjustments.

The PCE index is particularly noteworthy as it is the core inflation measure prioritized by the Federal Reserve. A continued low monthly increase in this index could strengthen the argument for policymakers to remain patient before adjusting interest rates. Additionally, the weekly unemployment claims serve as one of the most up-to-date indicators of the labor market situation, which also influences Fed policy decisions.

This week, investors are anticipating a speech from Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh at the annual Jackson Hole conference, which will take place over the weekend, along with the Consumer Sentiment Index for August from the University of Michigan.
