In the international market, the USD Index (DXY), a measure of the greenback's strength against other major currencies, fell to 99.6 (recorded at 9:00 a.m. Vietnam time), down another 0.5% from the end of last week. Since the beginning of April, the DXY index has fallen nearly 4.4% and since the beginning of 2025, the index has fallen nearly 8.2%.

The dollar has been under pressure from a global sell-off that has spread to stocks and U.S. Treasury bonds, which are considered safe havens. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is on track for its biggest weekly gain since 2001.
