GBP/JPY reclaims the 182.00 handle on Friday bump and run

Share:

• The GBP/JPY is seeing a bounce from near-term lows at 181.30 to settle out the trading week in familiar consolidation.
• Market sentiment is seeing a step back from safe havens, but lack of momentum in risk assets is limiting topside.
• UK Retail Sales missed, capping off recovery gains for the Guppy.

The GBP/JPY is set to finish out the trading week on the north side of 182.00 with late Friday price action sifting around 182.20 after a broad-market sentiment rally is seeing safe haven assets take a step back, pushing down the Japanese Yen (JPY) and giving the Pound Sterling (GBP) to recover some ground.
