GBP/JPY Forecast


Jameel Ahmad from FXTM commented in the GBP/JPY Forecast Poll that he is “impressed that this pair has continue to consolidate around its multi-year highs and yet to show any signs of fatigue.” Ahmad considers that an “aggressive GBP selling would be required for a pullback.”


In the long term picture, Darren Sinden from Admiral Markets affirms that “despite Kuraoda comments we still expect yen weakness to be a feature this summer.”
