Overview:
GBP/JPY is to trade in a lower range, undermined by comment from G-7 official that the group is concerned about Japan's unilateral guidance on the yen and Japan's export sales. But GBP/JPY losses are tempered by improved euro sentiment after G-7 pledged not to engage in currency devaluations, as well as demand from Japan importers and investment trusts.
