🇺🇸 About the US Dollar (USD)
The US Dollar is the world's primary reserve currency and the most traded currency on the planet, on one side of roughly 88% of all foreign exchange transactions. It serves as the global benchmark for commodities such as oil and gold, which are priced in dollars.
Issuing authority: Federal Reserve System (the Fed).
🇬🇧 About the British Pound (GBP)

Issuing authority: Bank of England.
What Moves the USD/GBP Exchange Rate?
The USD to GBP rate reflects the relative strength of two different economies, so it responds to developments on both sides of the pair.
US Dollar (USD): Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, US inflation (CPI) data, non-farm payroll employment reports, and the dollar's status as a safe-haven asset during global uncertainty.
British Pound (GBP): Bank of England rate decisions, UK inflation and wage growth, the strength of the London financial sector, and post-Brexit trade developments.
When demand for the US Dollar rises relative to the British Pound, the USD/GBP rate increases, meaning each USD buys more GBP. The opposite happens when the British Pound strengthens.
