GBP/JPY a slow grind lower, but pound to remain bid?
FXstreet.com (London) - GBP/JPY is slow and grinding lower in a continuation of the slide from the 170 handle.
There was no data today from the UK but the euro has likely contributed the unwinding of sterling longs as well fuelling the drop in the pair also. The pound should nevertheless remain bid overall on the concerns expressed over the recent inflationary 12 month forecasts.
