GBP/JPY Bounces Off Fresh YTD Low Near 207.00, Still Down 0.25% in Mid-208.00s

GBP/JPY drops to the 207.00 neighborhood — a fresh year-to-date low — then trades around the mid-208.00s, still down 0.25% for the day.

BoJ Sep path after wages and GDP

Japan’s real wages rose for the seventh consecutive month and the economy expanded at a faster pace than originally estimated, backing the case for the BoJ to raise borrowing costs on September 17–18. The page also cites risk of a jumbo hike and traders pricing the possibility of a potential follow-up move in December. Distinct from USD/JPY Asia and Monday’s GBP/JPY six-month low.
