The U.S. dollar fell against the Vietnamese dong Thursday morning amid a global drop.

Vietcombank lowered its rate by 0.02% to VND26,369.

The State Bank of Vietnam’s reference rate dropped 0.02% to VND25,109.

On the black market the greenback gained 0.98% to VND27,194.

Globally the U.S. dollar slipped on Thursday as the Sino-U.S. trade war sapped investor sentiment, while growing confidence of the U.S. Federal Reserve cutting its policy interest rate this year also weighed on the greenback, Reuters reported.

The euro rose 0.14% to $1.1664 in early trade, hitting a one-week high. The yen also firmed to a one-week high of 150.52 per dollar.

The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six other currencies, was down 0.16% at 98.512, headed for a weekly decline of 0.33%.

The Australian dollar slipped 0.4% to $0.6485 after data showed unemployment hit a near four-year high in September, adding to the case for interest rate cuts.
