GBP/JPY weakens below 209.00 in early European trade Monday — its lowest since February 24 — as the yen rallies on fully priced BoJ 25 bp hike bets for September 17–18.
GBP/JPY meets heavy supply in early European trade on Monday and weakens below 209.00, hitting its lowest level since February 24.
The yen’s broad rally reflects aggressive repricing toward faster BoJ hikes — traders have fully priced a 25 bp move at the September 17–18 meeting, with some analysts floating jumbo-hike risk — plus renewed intervention speculation. A break and acceptance below 210.00 added technical selling pressure on this page. Japan’s fiscal outlook may still cap further yen gains, and a modest GBP uptick versus a softer dollar helps limit the cross’s downside.
