Why the JPY to GBP rate moves

The Bank of Japan has kept rates near zero for decades, making the yen the funding currency of the global carry trade. Yen strength often spikes when risk appetite fades and carry trades unwind. The pound moves with Bank of England policy, UK inflation data and London's role as a global finance hub.
