GBP/JPY making progress towards 156.00
FXstreet.com (London) - GBP/JPY has set itself a new stomping ground, 155.20 marks a support point for the pair now, and has printed a high of 155.91 for the week.
GBP/JPY is going to be supported by the continued strong data performances from the UK while the JPY is going to come into focus with BoJ and payrolls in the US at the end of the week. The US payrolls will be make or break for September tapering, according to Cristian Maggio, Senior Emerging Markets Strategist, Rates and FX Research at TD Securities. “…with 100k being the key threshold,” and subsequently, the USD/JPY could be a GBP/JPY mover.
