  "account": "The Vietnamese dong saw the U.S. dollar slip against it on Wednesday, as the Vietnamese central bank reduced its reference rate by a mere 0.01% to VND25,627. This was down from VND26,160 earlier in the day at the state-owned Vietcombank. The State Bank of Vietnam's move indicates it is comfortable with the currency's depreciation, signaling confidence in the economy.\n\nMeanwhile, the greenback was on a strong trajectory globally, nearing a yearly high against the euro and poised for the largest monthly gain against it in 14 months. The dollar's rise is primarily attributed to the U.S. economy's robust growth and rising interest rates, as opposed to the energy and debt concerns in Europe. This trend has pushed the dollar up nearly 2.5% against the euro in September, and it is on track for a third straight quarterly increase.\n\nThe euro managed to hold steady at $1.1337, after dipping to its lowest level since May 2025 at $1.1312 in the previous trading session. On the other hand, the dollar has dropped by 2% against the yen in September and nearly 3.8% over the third quarter, touching an almost two-week low at 156.38 in Asian trade.\n\nAdditionally, the dollar reached a near 17-month peak against the Swiss franc on Tuesday, trading at 0.8358 francs. This move can be attributed to investors seeking low-yielding alternatives to the yen, hoping to earn carry from other currencies.",
