GBP/USD — known as "Cable", a nickname earned from the 19th-century transatlantic telegraph cable that first carried the rate between London and New York — quotes the British pound against the US dollar. It is one of the oldest continuously traded exchange rates and ranks among the most liquid major pairs, with one pip equal to 0.0001. Cable typically posts wider daily ranges than EUR/USD, which attracts shorter-term traders.
The pair responds to the policy paths of the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve, with UK inflation, wage growth and labour-market data carrying particular weight because of their influence on BoE decisions. Sterling is also sensitive to UK fiscal events and political risk. Activity concentrates in the London session, and volatility often peaks around simultaneous UK data releases and US openings.
On the session, GBP/USD is trading at 1.3410, a move of -0.0012 (-0.09%) versus the previous close of 1.3422. The instrument has ranged between 1.3410 and 1.3426 so far today. FXMARE's technical engine currently reads the setup as Strong Sell.
