GBP/JPY trades below 190.50 ahead of UK data
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The GBP/JPY pair fell into losses to trade below 190.50 levels ahead of the data in the UK, which could show the UK goods trade deficit narrowed in April.
Trades at hourly 200-MA
The cross is currently trading at its hourly 200-MA located at 190.37. The weakness is largely driven due to sharp fall in British Pound against the US dollar. Meanwhile, the slide in the Japanese Yen against the USD has been somewhat restricted due to weakness in the treasury yields. Consequently, the GBP/JPY cross fell from a high of 191.24 to trade at 190.37.
Ahead in the day, we have UK trade deficit data due for release. The goods trade deficit is seen contracting to GBP 9.85 billion in April from GBP 10.122 billion seen in March.
GBP/JPY Technical Levels
The immediate support is seen at 190.00, under which losses could be extended to 189.50. On the flip side, a break above 190.69 could see the pair re-test 191.24.
