The U.S. Dollar Index ended the week at 101.87, up from 101.6 the previous week after dipping to 101.13 earlier in the week. It rebounded as investors focused on U.S. employment expectations and persistent services-sector cost pressures, while Vietnamese bank USD prices fell.
A stronger dollar can raise the local-currency cost of imported feed and agricultural commodities for Vietnamese buyers. The late-week rebound in the DXY points to renewed upward pressure on the dollar, despite the fall in domestic bank quotes.
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.
