- GBP/JPY pulls back to 213.20 lows but remains trading within Monday's range.

- The Yen is trimming some losses, as a Katayama-Bessent meeting has boosted speculation about a joint intervention.
The British Pound (GBP) pares Monday’s gains against the Japanese Yen (JPY) on Tuesday, weighed down by higher intervention risks and downbeat UK business activity figures. The GBP/JPY pair pulled back to session lows of 213.20 during the European Trading session, from Monday's 214.70 highs, but remains wavering without a clear bias within the last four weeks’ range.
The Pound came under moderate bearish pressure on Tuesday after softer-than-expected preliminary S&P Global Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) data. The UK manufacturing PMI slowed down to 53.1 from 53.9 in May, below the 53.6 market consensus, while services activity accelerated its contraction to 48.7 in June from 49.3 in May, missing expectations of an improvement to 50.
Beyond that, an online meeting between Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama and the US Treasury Secretary Scot Bessent has boosted speculation about a potential coordinated action as the USD/JPY pair hit levels a few pips shy of the 40-year low, at 162.95.
Technical Analysis: Choppy, sideways price action
GBP/JPY trades at 213.54, holding a neutral to slightly bearish near-term stance. Momentum is mixed: the Relative Strength Index (14) has slipped back toward the mid-40s, hinting at waning bullish pressure, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has turned modestly positive, hinting at a mild recovery attempt rather than a decisive trend resumption.
Bears remain contained above Monday's low, in the 213.30 area so far, which is closing the path towards the bottom of the monthly trading range, near 212.40. Bulls, on the contrary, would need a clear close above session highs, at the 214.20 area, and ideally above Monday's high, at 214.75, to ease the current cap and open the way towards June's top, in the 215.50-215.60 area.
