Frequently Asked Questions

Why is GBP/USD called "Cable"?

GBP/USD is called "Cable" because the first transatlantic exchange rate was transmitted via undersea cable between London and New York in the 1800s. The nickname stuck among forex traders.

How does Brexit continue to affect GBP/USD?

Brexit reduced UK's trade integration with the EU, cutting GDP growth potential and requiring more BOE easing than pre-Brexit. Sterling trades at a structural discount to pre-2016 levels. However, UK's financial services strength and City of London position remain intact.
