Pound / Yen Live priceWhat is GBP/JPY
GBP/JPY is the exchange rate between the British pound and the Japanese yen, nicknamed the "Guppy". It is famous for large, fast moves.
It combines the volatility of the pound with the safe-haven nature of the yen, which can produce sharp swings, especially when risk sentiment shifts.
Because of that volatility, GBP/JPY is popular with active traders but demands careful risk control.
