XOF to USD 2026 Forecasts

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

 

USD/XOF Outlook:

The USD/XOF rate is slightly weaker, but likely to move sideways as it currently trades just below its recent average and remains within mid-range. Without distinct drivers, a significant move in either direction is unlikely.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The US Federal Reserve's potential interest rate hikes could support the USD more than the Bank of Central African States' neutral stance on the XOF.

• Risk/commodities: The rise in global oil prices may bolster the dollar as a safe-haven currency, impacting demand for the XOF.

• One macro factor: The ongoing reform discussions for the CFA franc could create uncertainty, but no immediate changes are altering its value markedly.

Range:

The USD/XOF rate is expected to hold within its recent range, reflecting stability despite external pressures.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: A stronger-than-expected US GDP report could lead to a renewed strength in the USD.

• Downside risk: Any geopolitical tensions that escalate might lead to increased demand for the XOF as a stable reserve.
