The GBP/JPY declined sharply after weak UK CPI data. It hits an intraday high of 194.77 and is currently trading around 193.52. Intraday trend is bearish as long as resistance 195 holds.
The UK's February 2025 CPI, released today, indicates that the rate of inflation fell to 2.8% from 3.0% in January, while core inflation was 3.6% and the monthly CPI gain was 0.3%. This was in line with expectation and could be an influence on Bank of England's monetary policy as the reading indicates easing inflation pressures, though still above the Bank's 2.0% target. The launch corresponds to Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Spring Statement, and that could contribute to fiscal policy debate in the context of making further economic changes and cost-of-living increases.
