The greenback inched up 0.15% to VND26,000 at unofficial exchange points. Vietcombank kept its rate unchanged at VND26,080.
Globally the dollar was lower on Friday and on track for its first weekly fall in more than a month against the euro and the yen, reflecting fading expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike and lingering concerns about an AI-driven equity selloff, Reuters reported.

The dollar index, which measures it against six major peers, fell 0.17% to 101.87 and was set for a 0.35% weekly drop.
