The US dollar rose against the dong on March 22, with Vietcombank selling at VND26,344 and the black market up 0.68% to about VND27,950. The dollar index advanced to 99.62 after its first weekly decline since the war began, as escalating Middle East threats lifted safe-haven demand.
Safe-haven dollar demand during the Mideast conflict raises import costs for dollar-priced feed in Asia. The move is small and reflects no new commodity supply change.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, DXY moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
