Bias
GBP/XAF remains range-bound, trading near the top of its 3-month range; the 90-day average position is unclear. BEAC tightening vs BoE caution supports XAF on risk moves.
Key drivers
- Rate gap: The BoE signaled a cautious stance with potential rate cuts in 2026, while BEAC has tightened to defend the CFA franc, widening the policy gap and supporting XAF when markets swing.
- Macro factor: BEAC tightened policy amid falling foreign reserves, reinforcing CFA franc resilience against GBP moves.
- CFA reforms: Discussions on reforming the CFA franc could alter the currency framework over the longer term, adding uncertainty for cross-border flows.
Range
GBP/XAF is likely to drift within the 3-month corridor, with tests of the upper area if UK data surprises or risk appetite improves.
What could change it
- Upside risk: unexpected strength in UK data or clearer signals that BoE policy will stay tighter for longer.
- Downside risk: additional tightening by BEAC or renewed CFA franc resilience driven by external shocks
