GBP to XAF Market Data
British pound (GBP) to Central African franc (XAF) market data - latest interbank exchange rate, trend, chart & historic rates.
Bias
bullish-to-range-bound, as GBP/XAF sits above its 90-day average and in the upper half of the last three months' range.
Key drivers
- Rate gap: BoE (Bank of England) signaling slower easing than BEAC tightening, creating a mixed backdrop as growth/inflation risks weigh on GBP/XAF.
- Risk/commodities: Oil price volatility continues to shape risk appetite and flows into commodity-linked currencies, including the XAF, with sharper moves in risk-off sessions often supporting the CFA franc.
- Macro factor: BEAC has tightened to support the CFA franc amid falling foreign reserves, while reform chatter around the currency adds near-term uncertainty about policy direction and regional cohesion.
Range
The pair is likely to drift within the current 3-month range, testing the upper end but not breaking clear.
What could change it
- Upside risk: stronger UK data or a less aggressive path of rate cuts by the BoE, reinforcing pound resilience.
- Downside risk: further BEAC tightening or renewed reserve concerns that strengthen the CFA franc and pressure GBP/XAF lower.
GBP/XAF sits above its 90-day avg and in the upper end of its 3-mo range. BoE easing slower than BEAC tightening supports the pound; oil vol shapes CFA franc flows. Strong UK data could push higher, BEAC reserve fears could cap gains
