USD/VND faces pressure as US pushes Vietnam to decouple from China tech

USD/VND trading remains stable near 25,450 as markets digest implications of US-Vietnam trade negotiations concluded last week. The US is reportedly pressuring Vietnam to reduce dependency on Chinese high-tech components as part of broader supply chain restructuring efforts. This strategic shift aims to accelerate US decoupling from Chinese technology while boosting Vietnam's industrial capacity. The development could strengthen Vietnam's economic position and potentially appreciate the VND against the USD in the medium term. However, immediate currency impact remains limited as Vietnam maintains managed float regime. Traders should monitor Vietnam's policy response and any formal agreements that could affect bilateral trade flows. Technical resistance sits at 25,500 while support holds at 25,400. Any concrete policy announcements could trigger volatility in the pair, with potential VND appreciation if Vietnam successfully attracts more US technology investment.
