Upward pressure on USDVND persists

In 13W26, the SBV conducted a modest net liquidity injection into the banking system by rolling over repo operations to offset a substantial value of maturing repos. This action aimed to mitigate immediate upward pressure on interbank rates as liquidity conditions remained tight. On the FX front, USDVND edged higher for the fifth consecutive week amid persistent Middle East tensions, elevated global inflation risks, the Fed’s cautious stance on rate cuts, and sustained domestic foreign capital outflows.
