GBPJPY pared most of its gains after the UK CPI data. Intraday trend remains bullish as long as support 201.30 holds. Trading around 202.22 right now, the pair reached an intraday low of 202.246.
UK inflation held steady at 3.8% in September 2025, slightly below market expectations, marking the third consecutive month at this rate and the highest since January 2024. While core inflation and price increases in areas like food, housing, recreation, and communications eased, services inflation remained high, mainly due to rising transport costs. The softer inflation figures led to a small drop in the pound and increased speculation about a potential Bank of England rate cut in December, while also giving the government more flexibility ahead of the upcoming budget. Overall, the data points to moderating price pressures, though food prices remain elevated due to extreme weather.
