The U.S. dollar rose slightly against the Vietnamese dong Tuesday morning and stayed steady against major peers.

Washington was “very far ahead” of his initial four- to five-week time estimate, he told CBS News.
Sterling recovered from a Monday dip to hold at $1.3412 and the New Zealand dollar steadied at $0.5932.
