It shows how many US dollars are needed to purchase one British Pound. For example, if the current exchange rate is 1.35, it means that 1 British Pound is equal to 1.35 US dollars.
The GBPUSD pair is one of the most widely traded currency pairs in the foreign exchange (forex) market and is often referred to as “Cable” in trading slang, originating from the time when the exchange rate was transmitted between the two countries via underwater cables in the mid-19th century.
