GBP/JPY looking for 142.00 to close out the week

  • Guppy looking healthy to cap off the week, bidding into the high end for Friday.
  • Challenging the 142.00 handle has the Guppy challenging a four-week high.

GBP/JPY got a much-needed boost on Thursday, driving higher and pinning into 142.25 before settling just below 142.00. The Guppy is trading on the upside to kick off Friday’s action, testing above 141.90 as market sentiment in the early Asian market session takes a step higher.

This week’s Brexit vote took the Guppy into a low of 137.35, but market sentiment towards the GBP recovered rapidly after PM May’s Brexit deal failed in spectacular fashion, sending the GBP/JPY back up the charts through the midweek.

Friday brings Retail Salest for the UK, dropping at 09:30 GMT with the headline annualized figure expected to hold steady around 3.6% for the year into December.
