GBP/JPY Groups Around 156.50 in Calm Trade While Weighty UK Data Bill, BoJ Policy Meeting in View

GBP/JPY is grouping around 156 in a calm trade as attention turns to a weighty bill of UK data and the BoJ meeting.

The market is likely to continue trading as a substitute for worldwide risk appetite for the week.

After the short fell lower than the support level of 156.00 and visitation of the 155.50 mark; experienced last Friday,

The GBP/JPY has recovered, now trading around 156.50 for most of part Monday’s session, up about 0.2% during the day. Forex volumes were slimmer than what they used to be on Monday because of the closure of the US market for MLK Day, causing trading situations to be unexciting.

The Effectors

The observed recovery is majorly due to a sudden increase in the worldwide desire for risk during the closing weeks of last month.

As Omicron worries regressed and the market became surer that the BoE’s unexpected December rate increment would give way for more in 2022. However, the central bank’s increasing anxiety deflated the strength of America and worldwide equities at the start of 2022 aiding support the yen and as well pulling GBP/JPY back from recent elevations.

A weighty bill of the UK data, as well as the latest jobs, recount on Tuesday, inflation figures on Wednesday, and the recent retail sales numbers on Friday is likely to offer some higher risk to the pound if powerful enough to aid support BoE rate increment expectations. Traders should be on the lookout for what could be a strangely interesting BoJ meeting today since sources gave a clue that the bank is now working on how the bank might withdraw stimulus in years to come before inflation returns to BoJ’s 2.0% target.
