Fundamental Analysis:
Monetary Policies: The Bank of England (BoE) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) maintain divergent monetary stances. The BoE's relatively hawkish approach contrasts with the BoJ's continued ultra-loose policy, which traditionally supports GBP strength against JPY.

Economic Indicators: Recent data indicates a contraction in UK retail sales by 6.9% in September 2022, reflecting economic challenges. In contrast, Japan's National Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March showed a modest increase of 0.2% monthly, with a 0.2% annualized decrease, suggesting persistent deflationary pressures.


Market Sentiment:
The GBP/JPY pair is sensitive to global risk sentiment. Increased market volatility or geopolitical tensions often lead investors to seek safe-haven assets like the JPY, potentially exerting downward pressure on the pair. Conversely, improved global economic outlooks may favor GBP appreciation.
