The GBP/JPY pared some of its gains despite strong UK retail sales data. It hits an high of 195.98 yesterday and is currently trading around 195.05. Intraday trend is bullish as long as support 193 holds.
Retail Sales Surprise:
UK high-street sales surprisingly advanced by 1.0% month-to-month in February 2025, contrary to the market's prediction of a decline of 0.3%, on the strength of food shop sales growth, but non-food sales like clothing and home furnishings fell. Retail sales rose 1.0% from last year's level, lagging last month's 2.8% increase. Such good news is welcomed by retailers during times of consumer optimism and anticipation of further drops and may have bullish impacts on market sentiment in the short term
