UK Pound Sterling/Japanese Yen FX Spot Rate

GBP/JPY is the foreign exchange spot rate pairing the British pound against the Japanese yen. It has long been nicknamed "the dragon" or "the widow-maker" because of its volatility. The pair amplifies global risk sentiment: it tends to strengthen when risk appetite is strong (sterling up, yen down) and fall sharply during risk-off episodes, making it a high-beta play on market mood.
