Vietnam's State Bank set the central USD/VND rate at 25,630 on 3 November, down 1 dong from the previous session, within a ±5% trading band. The US dollar price index fell 0.26% m/m in October and 1.26% y/y, while the free-market USD rate rose 100 dong to about 26,100.
A stable official dong and a softer dollar index ease import costs for Vietnamese feed compounders, though the wider free-market premium signals some pressure on feed ingredient purchasing costs. Dollar-priced feed inputs such as soybean meal and corn are less expensive in local currency when the dong holds steady.
