XAF to USD 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent Central African franc → dollar forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest Central African franc to US dollar performance and trends.

 

USD/XAF Outlook:

The USD/XAF rate is likely to move sideways as it trades just below its recent average and is currently near its three-month highs. A stable demand for the US dollar keeps it strong, but without clear drivers pushing it significantly higher.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The Federal Reserve's interest rate strategy remains a key factor for the USD, attracting foreign investment and supporting its strength against the XAF.

• Risk/commodities: The US dollar's position could be sensitive to oil price trends, particularly as rising crude prices may affect economic conditions in the XAF region.

• One macro factor: The recent approval of the CEMAC 2026 budget aims to boost regional development, promoting positive economic conditions that could support XAF stability.

Range:

The USD/XAF is expected to hold steady within its recent range, with potential for slight fluctuations around the current levels.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: An unexpected tightening of Federal Reserve policy could strengthen the USD.

• Downside risk: Disappointing US economic data, such as falling durable goods orders, could pressure the USD lower.
