USD to VND Exchange Rate History — Vietnam
Over the past 90 days, the USD to Vietnamese Dong parallel (black market) rate moved from about 26,003 VND on Oct 18, 2026 to 25,986 VND on Oct 19, 2026 — a change of -0.1%. Across that window the Vietnamese Dong held broadly steady against the dollar, trading between a low of 25,931 and a high of 26,037 VND, averaging 25,994 VND per US dollar.
Vietnam manages the dong within a narrow band, so the parallel premium is usually small and closely tied to the local gold market.
How to read the VND rate history
The chart plots the parallel buy rate — how many VND it took to buy one US dollar — at each point we recorded. The daily table below lists the closing buy and sell rate for each day, while the monthly table summarises the average, high and low for each month, which is useful for comparing one period with another.
A rising line means the Vietnamese Dong is losing value (more VND per dollar); a falling line means it is gaining. Over this window the spread between the high (26,037) and the low (25,931) shows how volatile the market has been — here, roughly 0.1% around the average.
What has moved the Vietnamese Dong recently?
In Vietnam, the parallel rate is driven by factors such as a tightly managed dong, gold-market linkages, trade-surplus dynamics. When dollars become scarcer or confidence falls, the street rate climbs ahead of the official State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) rate; when supply improves or policy tightens, the gap can narrow again.
Because the parallel rate often moves before official devaluations, its history is a useful early-warning record — a steadily rising trend frequently precedes an official adjustment, while a long plateau suggests relative stability.
Using historical VND rates
Historical rates help with budgeting, invoicing, remittance planning and spotting trends, but they are not a forecast — past movements do not guarantee future ones. For the live rate, see our main USD to VND page, and use the converter for exact amounts.
