About British Pound to US Dollar Exchange Rate
What it measures
The USD per British pound exchange rate (FRED series DEXUSUK) reports the number of US dollars required to purchase one pound sterling, based on the noon buying rate in New York certified by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The daily series is one of the longest-running exchange rate records on FRED, extending back to 1971.
Why it matters
Cable, as traders call the pair, is among the most liquid currency markets and reflects the policy divergence between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England alongside UK-specific risk. Sharp sterling moves have marked events from the 1992 ERM exit to the 2016 Brexit vote and the 2022 gilt crisis, making it a barometer of UK credibility.
How to read it
Higher values indicate pound strength against the dollar; lower values indicate weakness. The floating-era range spans from near parity threats around 1.05 in 1985 to above 2.60 in the early 1970s. Because the UK runs persistent current account deficits, sterling is sensitive to global risk appetite and to shifts in confidence about UK fiscal and monetary policy.
