It's a regexp metacharacter that matches the beginning of a string. Since all strings have a beginning, this regexp matches any string.

This is a typical nginx idiom for "redirect any URL to example.com/ .

The $ metacharacter matching the end of a string would work as well, but ^ seems to be what everybody uses.
