USD to XAF Market Data
US dollar (USD) to Central African franc (XAF) market data - latest interbank exchange rate, trend, chart & historic rates.
Bias
USD/XAF range-bound, above the 90-day avg and in the upper 3-month band. Fed easing toward neutral and BEAC tightening narrow the USD edge; payrolls data due soon will shape the path, while tariff policy uncertainty weighs on USD.
Key drivers
- Rate gap: The US Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates toward a neutral stance in the coming year, while BEAC tightened policy to shore up the CFA franc, narrowing the USD’s edge versus XAF.
- Macro factor: US payrolls and unemployment data due soon will shape Fed easing bets and the USD’s trajectory, depending on whether the data undershoot or surprise.
- Policy: US tariff policy uncertainty could influence risk appetite and USD moves, with relief potentially weighing on the dollar.
Range
likely to hold within the recent range, with a gradual drift toward the upper end rather than a break.
What could change it
- Upside risk: hotter US payrolls or a hawkish Fed stance could lift the dollar toward the upper end of its range.
- Downside risk: clearer Fed easing or stronger CFA franc support from BEAC could push USD/XAF lower
