# Will the 26,500 dong level test the dong's resilience?

> The dong-dollar rate is entering a sensitive period as the interest rate gap between the two currencies has reversed and the dollar index has risen to around 102. Analysts identify 26,500 dong per dollar as a key threshold. Under the base scenario, the rate stays between 26,000 and 26,500.

## Why it matters

A move toward 26,500 would raise the dong cost of dollar-priced feed imports, squeezing margins for Vietnamese buyers. The outcome depends on US rate policy and dollar demand.
