GBP/JPY taking a rest bite on 170 handle
FXStreet (Barcelona) - GBP/JPY is trading at 170.44, up 0.11% on the day, having posted a daily high at 170.56 and low at 170.23.
GBP/JPY has gathered itself having bottomed out on the 170 handle having lost enough ground for one day from 172.10. The pair is suffering on the back of softer risk sentiment and a set of UK data that took the shine out of Sterling. The core CPI read far lower than expectations arriving at 1.5% y/y in September vs 1.8% expected. Markets may begin to discount the possibility of any earlier than forecasted rate hikes from the BoE where otherwise expectations were for the start of 2015.
