Vietcombank sold the greenback 0.01% higher at VND26,382.
On the black market the dollar gained 0.15% to VND26,400.

Against a basket of currencies, the U.S. dollar was last at 98.46, up 0.63% for the week thus far. It fell 0.04% against the yen to 157.83, as traders remained on alert for any signs of intervention from Japanese authorities to prop up the ailing currency.
In other currencies, the Australian dollar flirted with a four-year peak and last bought $0.7255, underpinned by hawkish rate expectations at home.
The New Zealand dollar eased 0.04% to $0.5933.
