About GBP/USD
GBP/USD, commonly known as 'Cable', measures the value of the British pound sterling against the US dollar. The quote indicates how many US dollars are required to purchase one pound.
As one of the oldest and most liquid currency pairs in the world, GBP/USD attracts significant volume from institutional traders, hedge funds, and retail participants, with price action spanning all major sessions.
The pair is influenced primarily by the policy divergence between the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve, UK economic data, political developments in Britain, and broader US dollar sentiment.
