# 2026: Will the exchange rate still face pressure?

> Analysts expect pressure on the dong in 2026 to come from several factors rather than one surge. The VND was Asia's third-worst performer in 2025, down 3.1% against the dollar. UOB forecasts the dollar index at 98.2 in Q1 2026, falling to 95.7 by Q4.

## Why it matters

A forecast decline in the dollar index tends to support dollar-priced agricultural commodities over time. The dong outlook itself has little direct bearing on global feed prices.
