GBP/JPY one to watch with recent Yen moves and May on Brexit
GBP/JPY dropped heavily on the back of UK's PM, May, announcing intentions to trigger article 50 at the end of March.
GBP/JPY fell from 131.44 and reached a low of 130.82, but is currently making a comeback albeit in a volatile manner with a huge spike to the downside in the Yen in the last moments. The move might be explained in accordance to what happened last week, almost entirely in the same dimensions in the Yen.
