(Bloomberg) -- Traders in Vietnamese assets arenât likely to be ruffled by the U.S. Treasuryâs move to designate the Asian nation a currency manipulator.
The Vietnamese dong traded little changed at 23,124 per dollar as of 10:56 a.m. in Hanoi on Thursday after the Trump administrationâs final foreign-exchange policy report. The benchmark stock index pared its loss to 0.5% after falling more than 1% earlier.
While the designation can escalate trade tension, President-elect Joe Biden may join the Trans-Pacific Partnership, making it less likely that he will raise tariffs in Vietnam, said James Bannan, a fund manager at Coeli Asset Management, which oversees about $400 million of frontier-market investments.
