The dollar index, which measures the greenback's strength against six currencies, neared a two-week high at 99.675.\n\nVietcombank sold the greenback at VND26,180 on Wednesday, a 0.19% increase from the previous day. On the black market, the dollar hovered around VND25,770. The State Bank of Vietnam raised its reference rate by 0.04% to VND25,626.\n\nInternationally, the dollar was near multi-week highs against a handful of major currencies.
