Why everyone’s watching GBP/JPY right now

November 05, 2025

Dear Valued Trader,

Right now, the British Pound (GBP) and the Japanese Yen (JPY) are kind of in a “pause” mode.
It’s like two runners at the starting line — both ready to go, but waiting for the whistle.

Here’s what’s happening:

  • In Japan, the people in charge of money (the Bank of Japan) might make some big decisions soon, no one knows what they’ll do next.

  • In the UK, the government is still figuring out how to handle its money problems.

  • Because of that, traders are being super careful, everyone’s watching and waiting.

So right now, the market is quiet. But when it wakes up… it might move fast. 💨
