Inflation figures from July from Japan weakened the Yen while the GBP trades relatively soft against its rivals. There won\u2019t be any highlights for the rest of the session, and the focus is on Ueda\u2019s and BoE\u2019s official speeches on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>On the Japanese front, August&#8217;s Tokyo Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in soft and decelerated to 2.9% YoY vs. the 3% expected and the previous 3.2%. The Core CPI remained steady at 4%, while the measure excluding Fresh Foods failed to meet expectations and fell to 2.8% YoY, lower than the 2.9% expected. The low inflation readings exacerbated the dovish bets on the Bank of Japan (CPI), contributing to the JPY being one of the worst performers during the session amongst the major currencies. Focus now shifts to Governor Ueda\u2019s speech on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the Pound continues to trade weak against its rivals following the poor results of the\u00a0 S&amp;P Global PMIs from August. The economy showed signs of weakness and flashed alarms amongst the investors concerning the British economy\u2019s health. Last week, the UK reported strong wages and inflation data, which doesn\u2019t align with an economy sliding into a recession, just as the Bank of England (BoE) stated in its last statement.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward, markets continue to bet on the BoE lifting rates between 5.75%-6% in this cycle, including 25 basis points hikes in September, November and February 2024.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"fxs_headline_medium\">GBP\/JPY Levels to watch<\/h2>\n<p>The technical <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxstreet.com\/analysis\">analysis<\/a> of the daily <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxstreet.com\/rates-charts\/chart\">chart<\/a> points to a neutral to a bearish <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxstreet.com\/rates-charts\/forecast\">outlook<\/a> for GBP\/JPY, indicating a decline in bullish strength.
