Analysts say the Federal Reserve's 50 basis point rate cut should ease pressure on the Vietnamese dong and give the State Bank of Vietnam room to loosen policy. The VND/USD rate at commercial banks had fallen to between VND24,740 and VND24,860, after reaching a record high of 25,450 earlier this year.
Lower US rates weaken the dollar, which can lower local feed import costs in Vietnam and support demand for dollar-priced commodities. The effect on grain prices is indirect and modest.
After 1,637 past bearish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (39% higher; middle half -0.6% to +0.3%), and -0.2% over 20.
