GBPJPYGBP/JPY 10-Year Bond Yield and Interest Rate Differential
1. UK 10-Year Gilt Yield
As of May 21, 2025, the UK 10-year gilt yield was approximately 4.77%, near its highest level since April 2025, driven by hotter-than-expected inflation data (April CPI at 3.5% YoY, core inflation 3.8%) and reduced expectations of Bank of England rate cuts.
The Bank of England’s official interest rate stood at 4.25% in May 2025, down from 4.5%, but markets now price in limited further easing for the rest of the year.
2. Japan 10-Year Government Bond Yield
As of May 21, 2025, the Japan 10-year government bond yield was around 1.52% to 1.55%, remaining near a one-month high amid improving trade data and cautious market sentiment.
The Bank of Japan maintains a very accommodative monetary policy, with policy rates near zero, keeping yields low despite some inflationary pressures.
3. Interest Rate Differential (10-Year Bonds)
The yield spread between UK and Japan 10-year bonds is:
4.77% (UK)−1.53% (Japan)=+3.24%
This significant positive differential favors the British pound against the Japanese yen from a carry trade perspective.
4. Carry Trade Implications for GBP/JPY
The +3.24% yield advantage makes GBP/JPY attractive for carry trades, where investors borrow in low-yielding JPY and invest in higher-yielding GBP assets to earn the interest spread.
The wide differential supports GBP/JPY strength, assuming stable risk sentiment and no major shocks.
Technical momentum and macroeconomic factors such as UK inflation data, BoJ policy stance, and global risk appetite will influence the pair’s trajectory in the coming week.
Summary Table
Metric United Kingdom (GBP) Japan (JPY)
10-Year Bond Yield ~4.77% ~1.53%
Interest Rate Differential +3.24% (GBP over JPY) —
Central Bank Policy Rate 4.25% (BoE) ~0% (BoJ)
Conclusion
From May 27 to June 4, 2025, the GBP/JPY pair benefits from a substantial 3.24% interest rate differential between UK and Japanese 10-year bonds, supporting carry trade flows into GBP. The Bank of England’s relatively higher rates and inflationary pressures contrast with the Bank of Japan’s ultra-accommodative policy, underpinning GBP strength versus JPY.
GBP/JPY Short Currently GBP/JPY buyers are looking exhausted as it starts to enter a key sell zone on the Daily and Lower time frames. Expecting price to give a discount at 194.000 and bring big buyers back in. First Take profit I anticipate is 194.750, followed by 194.500. If these levels are reached price should react off this key support and resistence area and push for a higher highs on the lower time frames.

GBPJPY Monday candle closed as bullish engulf..Buyers in controlMonday daily candle closed as bullish engulf hinting that this pair is starting to going up.
Where to enter buy?
Zoom in into smaller timeframe 4hr, 1hr, 15min and wait for the buy price action.
Personally, i would like to see the price to react at "Resistant become Support" zone that i marked in the chart.
No price action in lower TF, no trade.
Good luck.

GBPJPY: Weekly overviewThe fake breakout of 12th of May is a sign of more bearish days. However, as traders we should be ready to adapt with new conditions.
We are ready to long from the zone around 189.720.
The indicated levels are determined based on the most reaction points and the assumption of approximately equal distance between the zones.
Some of these points can also be confirmed by the mathematical intervals of Murray.
You can enter with/without confirmation. IF you want to take confirmation you can use LTF analysis, Spike move confirmation, Trend Strength confrimation and ETC.
SL could be placed below the zone or regarding the LTF swings.
TP is the next zone or the nearest moving S&R, which are median and borders of the drawn channels.
*******************************************************************
Role of different zones:
GREEN: Just long trades allowed on them.
RED: Just Short trades allowed on them.
BLUE: both long and short trades allowed on them.
WHITE: No trades allowed on them! just use them as TP points
GBPJPY: Weekly overview + Significant zonesHello dear traders,
The indicated levels are determined based on the most reaction points and the assumption of approximately equal distance between the zones.
These points can also be confirmed by the mathematical intervals of Murray.
After reacting to the following zones, you can enter the trade. Place the stop loss slightly above/below the zone to which the reaction was shown. The profit point is the next zone.
The drawn channels and their medians can also be considered as moving support and resistance. I usually use them as target points. I've doubled the short-term channel because it was so thin ;-).
* I don't use 189.663 zone to take short! There are too many moving S&R around it.
This analysis is valid until the end of the week.

"TIME AND PRICE" LQ SETUP.TIME & PRICE is a narrative I define or state as the period between the movement of price induced by the trigger of liquidity-seeking orders to fill, and a more balanced and stable distribution of price.
So during this time of activity, we look for trade setups and opportunities to execute as price continues in its overall direction after LQ sweep between Swing Highs, Lows, and Breaks of market structure points.
