🇯🇵 About the Japanese Yen (JPY)
The Japanese Yen is the third most traded currency and the most traded in Asia. It is widely used as a funding currency for the carry trade because of Japan's traditionally low interest rates, and it strengthens as a safe haven in times of market stress.
Issuing authority: Bank of Japan (BOJ).
🇬🇧 About the British Pound (GBP)
The British Pound Sterling is the oldest currency still in use today and the fourth most traded in the world. London's status as a global financial centre gives the pound outsized importance relative to the size of the UK economy.
Issuing authority: Bank of England.
What Moves the JPY/GBP Exchange Rate?
The JPY to GBP rate reflects the relative strength of two different economies, so it responds to developments on both sides of the pair.
Japanese Yen (JPY): Bank of Japan ultra-loose monetary policy and any shift away from it, the interest rate gap with the US, and safe-haven demand during global risk-off periods.
British Pound (GBP): Bank of England rate decisions, UK inflation and wage growth, the strength of the London financial sector, and post-Brexit trade developments.
When demand for the Japanese Yen rises relative to the British Pound, the JPY/GBP rate increases, meaning each JPY buys more GBP. The opposite happens when the British Pound strengthens.
