The GBP/JPY pair climbed to 213.40 on Thursday, recovering from session lows near 212.50. The move follows heightened speculation over potential Japanese authorities intervening to stabilize the Yen amid its recent weakness.
Earlier this week, the pair tested multi-year highs above 214.00 before retracing. Market participants remain cautious as Japan’s finance ministry has signaled readiness to act against excessive currency volatility.
Traders are closely watching for official comments or policy shifts that could trigger further moves in the pair.
