GBPJPY: Upbeat Japan inflation, sluggish yields!
Обновлено
During early Friday, the GBP/JPY bulls attacked the previous monthly high and refreshed the multi-day top by picking up bids around 164.80, despite the downbeat expectations of Japan inflation numbers. The latest run-up of the cross-currency pair can be attributed to the optimistic sentiment, even though the yields are still slow. It should be noted that no information has been omitted in this paraphrased text.
In March, the Tokyo Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased to 3.3%, which was higher than the expected 2.7%, but lower than the previous month's 3.4%. The Tokyo CPI, excluding food and energy, also rose to 3.4% compared to the previous reading of 3.2% and the market consensus of 3.3%. In February, Japan's Industrial Production growth exceeded estimations with a 4.5% month-on-month increase, compared to the expected 2.7% and the previous -5.3%. Similarly, Retail Trade showed an improvement in February with a 6.6% increase, surpassing the analysts' forecast of 5.8% and the previous reading of 5.0%. However, the unexpected increase in Japan's Unemployment rate from 2.4% to 2.6% in February can be attributed to the recent weakness of the Japanese Yen (JPY).
Technical analysis
A downward-sloping resistance line from December 13, 2022, near 164.80 by the press time, challenges immediate GBP/JPY upside.
