By Gary Howes, Editor

◦ GBP/JPY surged to highest since 2008, reaching 219.59 in mid-July

◦ That's a rates story: UK interest rate yields far exceed those of Japan

◦ Context: Japan's chronically low interest rates environment is a fundamental headwind to JPY

◦ Also, JPY has underperformed alongside fellow low-yielder the Swiss franc since outbreak of conflict in Middle East

◦ Recent deterioration and closure of Strait of Hormuz therefore a significant JPY headwind

◦ Short-term: GBP complex is paring recent advances, allowing JPY a comeback

◦ But weakness expected to be shallow

◦ Traders continue to defy warnings from Japanese authorities about guarding against JPY weakness

◦ But ultimately intervention has achieved little and is proving costly
