Understanding GBP to USD Exchange Rates
The British Pound Sterling (GBP) is one of the world's oldest currencies and remains one of the most traded globally. GBP/USD, often called 'Cable' due to the transatlantic cable used for early telegraph communications, is influenced by Bank of England monetary policy, UK economic data, Brexit-related developments, and global risk sentiment. The pound is particularly sensitive to political events and economic indicators, making it one of the more volatile major currencies.
