Fundamental overview:
GBP/JPY is expected to consolidate with bearish bias after hitting a six-week low of 130.71 on EBS this morning. GBP/JPY is undermined by the flows to the safe-haven yen amid increased investor risk aversion, the soft EUR/USD undertone and Japan's exports. The losses of GBP/JPY are tempered by demand from the Japanese importers.
