GBPJPY

The British pound has weakened against the Japanese yen for three consecutive trading days, slipping 0.15% as market participants digest the initial policy direction of newly appointed UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham. The Prime Minister has begun naming members of his cabinet, adding a layer of political uncertainty.

GBP/JPY is currently trading at 218.13, having touched a daily high earlier in the session. Despite the short-term pullback, market bulls remain focused on a potential breakout above the 219 resistance level, which could reignite the broader uptrend.

Traders are watching for further cues from the new government's economic agenda as well as yen-related factors in the coming sessions.
