GBP/JPY extends its steady recovery on Tuesday and has now recouped almost all the losses triggered by the joint US-Japan intervention in late July. The intervention was aimed at curbing excessive weakness in the Japanese Yen (JPY) after USD/JPY climbed above 160 to a forty-year high.
The GBP/JPY cross catches fresh bids on Tuesday and climbs to its highest level since July 30, around mid-217.00s during the first half of the European session.
The GBP/JPY consolidates near familiar levels around 217.00 on Monday, as risk aversion dominates markets, with flows moving into haven assets like the US Dollar and Gold amid uncertainty over the Middle East conflict.
The GBP/JPY cross attracts some dip-buyers near the 216.20 area and touches a fresh monthly high during the early part of the European session on Monday. Spot prices currently trade just above the 217.00 mark and seem poised to appreciate further amid a broadly weaker Japanese Yen (JPY).
