XAF/USD historic rates
Current market bias: Bearish.
- The US Federal Reserve is set to cut interest rates, likely weakening the USD.
- The XAF is appreciating due to economic gains from increased Chinese investment in Cameroon.
- Ongoing talks about reforms to the CFA franc system could affect XAF stability.
Near-term range: Expect the USD/XAF exchange rate to trade within a narrow band with low volatility.
What could change it: A rise in US consumer sentiment could boost the dollar, while the rollout of the proposed 'Eco' currency by ECOWAS could weaken the XAF's standing.

Tweet: The USD/XAF market is bearish as the US Fed plans rate cuts while XAF rises on strong investment from China. With talks of a new 'Eco' currency, stability might shift. Upside risk includes US consumer sentiment improvements. Stay tuned for updates
