The USD to XPF exchange rate is currently bearish, influenced by anticipated Federal Reserve monetary easing.
Key drivers include an expected interest rate cut from the U.S. Federal Reserve, likely leading to a weaker USD in the near future. Improving global economic growth and rising commodity prices could also contribute to USD volatility. Meanwhile, the CFP franc has shown a stable appreciation due to its peg to the euro and low inflation rates in its territories.
In the near term, the trading range for USD/XPF is anticipated to remain consistent, with fluctuations expected around current levels. Analysts project the rate could decline further, potentially reaching lower values over the next few months.
Upside risks for the USD include unexpected positive economic data from the U.S., while downside risks primarily stem from the ASEAN's movement away from the USD for cross-border transactions, which could diminish demand for the dollar.
