# Foreign exchange rate to be affected by US reciprocal tariffs in short term

> KB Securities expects the USD/VND rate to stay tense at times in the third quarter because of weak PMI readings, profit repatriation by foreign-invested firms, and possible slower FDI disbursement. The reciprocal US tariff rate due on August 1 is seen as the main short-term factor. The rate is forecast to ease by year-end on export recovery, remittances and a weaker dollar.
