Dollar slips against dong

Vietcombank sold the greenback 0.007% lower at VND26,386.

On the black market the dollar jumped 0.95% to VND26,550.

Globally the dollar retreated to its lowest level in a week ‌in early trading on Tuesday after threats from the White House towards the European Union over the future of Greenland triggered a broad selloff across U.S. stocks and government bonds, Reuters reported.

The dollar index, which measures the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, slid 0.1% to 99.004 - its lowest level since January 14 as investors worried about exposure ‌to U.S. markets.

Against the ⁠yen, the dollar was flat at 158.175 yen after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi called snap elections for Feb. 8. Her vow to suspend an 8% sales tax on food for two years has focused attention on the country's shaky public finances.
