GBP/JPY rises to 216.33 amid broad yen weakness and UK inflation data
Over the past 24 hours, GBP/JPY has strengthened, reaching 216.33, driven by a general decline in the Japanese yen and recent UK inflation figures. The yen's weakness is attributed to the Bank of Japan's persistent ultra-loose monetary policy, while the UK's inflation data suggests a potential shift in the Bank of England's stance.
Key points
- GBP/JPY recovers losses, trading at 216.33, as yen weakens against major currencies.
- US dollar attempts rebound after sell-off; impact on GBP/JPY remains limited.
- US dollar drifts lower as bond market stabilizes; minimal effect on GBP/JPY.
