The US dollar reached its highest level in two years. The State Bank of Vietnam's central rate was 24,343 VND per dollar on January 14, up 2 VND from the prior session.
Commercial bank selling rates were around 25,560 VND.

After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
