# The free-market USD plunges; certificate of deposit balances rise sharply · Stockbiz

> The free-market US dollar in Vietnam fell by more than VND 400 to below VND 26,000 in the final session of the week. Bank USD rates dropped below VND 26,000 for the first time in about a year and a half. Certificate of deposit balances rose sharply in the first nine months of the year as banks sought funding.

## Why it matters

A weaker dollar against the dong lowers the local-currency cost of dollar-priced feed imports for Vietnamese buyers. The deposit funding pressure on banks is a domestic financial story with little direct effect on feed commodity prices.
