GBP/JPY halted and attained a weekly high of 161.80 after a rapid ascent. Due to Monday's optimistic risk sentiment and rising global bond yields, the currency pair rose.

 

In a recent speech, Governor Bailey of the Bank of England (BoE) emphasized the need to remain vigilant for signs of persistent inflationary pressures. If these pressures manifest, he suggested, additional monetary tightening may be necessary. Although there are indications of economic resiliency, Bailey warned that the inflation trajectory may not be completely smooth. An important objective of monetary policy is to prevent persistent inflation resulting from external factors. Additionally, Bailey identified significant strains in portions of the global banking system, which could have implications for the global economy as a whole.

 

Bailey stated that the full impact of recent bank rate hikes has not yet been felt, and that inactivity due to early retirement may have contributed to an increase in cyclical rates. Due to these factors, the Bank of England has significantly raised interest rates. Bailey cautioned that inflation could be more persistent than anticipated, so it is crucial to remain vigilant for signs of inflationary pressure. If such pressures manifest, it may be necessary to tighten monetary policy further to contain inflation.

 

Overall, Bailey's speech emphasizes the Bank of England's commitment to economic growth and price stability. The Bank of England is assiduously managing risks to maintain inflation within its target range.

 

Due to the absence of a press conference at the March meeting of the Board of Governors, these remarks are notable. The majority of analysts predict that the BoE will suspend in May, while others anticipate that additional tightening will be necessary as inflation control remains the central bank's top priority over banking uncertainty.

 

The British Retail Consortium (BRC) reported that store price inflation rose to 8.9% in March, up from 8.2% in February, highlighting the inflationary pressure. Alternatively, Japan's Minister of Economy Goto announced plans to invest JPY 2,200,000,000,000 in a stimulus program.
