GBP/JPY remains stable as UK GDP growth offsets BoJ tightening expectations
Over the past 24 hours, GBP/JPY has maintained a steady trajectory, with the British Pound supported by stronger-than-expected UK GDP growth, while the Japanese Yen's appreciation is tempered by Japan's fiscal challenges and expectations of a Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate hike.
Key points
- UK GDP grew by 0.4% month-over-month in July, surpassing expectations of flat growth.
- The Japanese Yen strengthens amid expectations of a 25 basis point rate hike by the BoJ at its upcoming meeting.
- Japan's fiscal concerns, including a record-high budget request of ¥143 trillion, may limit the Yen's upside potential.
