GBP/USD Technical: Sterling torpedoed by spike in 30-year gilt yield, watch the 1.3315/3280 key support
Sterling tumbled, losing 1.2% intraday against the dollar and ranking as the weakest major currency as of 2 September, with USD/GBP up 1.1%. The 30-year UK gilt yield surged 6 bps to 5.69%, its highest since 1998, as concerns over rising UK debt widened the risk premium. Drawing parallels with the 2022 gilt crisis, GBP/USD remains bearish below 1.3460, with supports eyed at 1.3370 and 1.3315/1.3280.

USD/JPY Technical: Eyeing the ascending range support of 145.50
USD/JPY has extended its slide from the late-July peak of 150.92, falling -2.6% to 147.00. Fresh Tokyo core-core inflation data and stronger consumer confidence reinforced expectations for a potential 25bps BoJ rate hike in October, keeping pressure on the pair. With USD/JPY trading below its 20-day average and testing the 50-day, focus now shifts to US core PCE data later today, a key driver of Fed rate cut bets ahead of September’s FOMC.
