Vietnam's monetary policy faces strain as the Fed held rates at 3.5-3.75% on March 18 and signalled only one cut this year. Dollar strength and oil prices have pushed the dong toward the upper trading band, with the informal market reaching VND27,700 and a trade deficit near $3 billion in early 2026.
Pressure on the dong and tighter Fed expectations raise the cost of dollar-denominated feed imports for Vietnam. Higher US rates also tend to weigh on commodity prices.
