15 Jul 2026 • 00:47 GMT
The Central African CFA franc (XAF) remains relatively stable against the US dollar, trading at around 0.001742, which is slightly below its 3-month average of 0.001766. It has maintained a narrow range, mostly hovering between 0.001732 and 0.001799, reflecting stable investor sentiment amid ongoing regional and monetary stability assurances from the BEAC. Notably, the recent denial of devaluation rumors by the BEAC supports confidence in the currency’s resilience.
against the euro and the Swiss franc, the XAF has shown little change, holding close to its 3-month averages. Meanwhile, the XAF against the GBP stands about 1.2% below its recent average, indicating slight weakening but overall stability. The currency also remains steady against major regional currencies like the CAD and AUD, with only minor fluctuations within recent ranges.
Despite broad dollar strength driven by US economic data and geopolitical tensions, the XAF has held its ground well. Market watchers will continue to monitor regional political developments and the BEAC’s policy signals, which remain supportive of currency stability in the near term.
