Cross pair

Updated 2026-09-20

Definition

A currency pair that doesn't include the US dollar, such as EUR/GBP or GBP/JPY.

Why it matters

The price derives from crossing two majors. Spreads are usually wider and moves can be larger, especially on yen pairs.

Practical example

EUR/GBP = EUR/USD ÷ GBP/USD: with 1.1000 and 1.2500 it gives 0.8800.
