Vietcombank sold the dollar at VND26,200, up 0.04% from Wednesday. On the black market the greenback declined 0.27% to VND25,850.

Globally the dollar clung to a two-month high on Thursday after a strong manufacturing reading reignited inflation fears and rate-hike bets, while a weak Treasury auction sent yields higher across the curve, providing fresh impetus to the U.S. currency, Reuters reported.

The broad dollar strength ‌pushed the euro to $1.1378, a two-month low, while sterling languished near a three-month nadir at $1.3231.

The dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against a basket of peers, held near a two-month high at 101.1.
