VND/USD Price & Performance (VNDUSD)

Gold prices in Vietnam have reached unprecedented levels, with domestic gold bars trading at up to 96.5 million VND/tael. This surge aligns with global gold prices surpassing $3,000/ounce, driven by tariff instability and expectations of Federal Reserve policy shifts. Investors are favoring gold as a hedge against economic uncertainties.1

The Vietnamese dong is forecasted to weaken further, reaching 26,000 VND/USD by Q3 2025. Factors include potential U.S. tariffs on Vietnam and ongoing trade imbalances. However, strong domestic growth and central bank measures to stabilize the currency may provide some relief.2

Breeding chicken prices in Hai Duong have surged, with hybrid fighting chickens now priced at 7,500 VND each, up by 2,500 VND since late 2024. This increase is attributed to heightened demand during seasonal farming peaks, as farms prepare for tourist and festive seasons.3
