It should be $1 but a new exchange came started to list STEEM/SBD and non-steemians fomo'd over SBD instead of STEEM not knowing the difference and the price has pegged since then.
As a witness, we have tools to maintain the peg but only effective in the upwards direction if it goes too far below $1, bringing it down has side effects.
