On October 16th, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh stated on Friday that he was surprised by the resilience of many G20 economies despite a series of geopolitical shocks the world has faced in recent months and the tightening of monetary policy by most central banks to combat inflation. Speaking at the 2026 IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, Thailand, Warsh said, "We are facing common challenges and taking action, which I think is a positive development." He added, "I am optimistic that, while some may consider this overly naive, at least for the United States, we will emerge stronger from this shock, with more solid economic fundamentals and a greater capacity to lead global economic growth."Bank of Canada Governor Macklem: Canada has not yet raised interest rates, but the longer it waits, the harder it will be to ignore rising energy prices.On October 16th, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh announced that the Feds Productivity and Employment Task Force will hold an in-person hearing in the San Francisco Bay Area on November 16th, focusing on issues such as the impact of AI on the economy.

In the early Tokyo session, the GBP/JPY pair has encountered selling pressure as it attempts to surpass immediate resistance at 161.50. The cross has dropped sharply after failing to sustain significant resistance above 162.00. The asset is under pressure following a four-day gaining streak despite the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) announcement of a dovish policy stance in its summary of ideas.

 

The GBP/JPY pair saw a significant decrease after failing to sustain above the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 162.13 on an hourly scale. At 161.38, the cross is near to the 20-exponential moving average (EMA), indicating that the future is likely to be stressful. On a larger scale, potential support is indicated by the 21 December high near 161.00.

 

In the meantime, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has decreased from the bullish region of 60.00-80.00 to the neutral region of 40.00-60.00, suggesting that the upward momentum has ceased; however, the upside bias has not yet been lost.

 

For an upward move, the pair must surpass the December 28 high of 162.34, which will drive the cross toward the November 11 low of 163.00 and the December 2 low of 164.00.

 

Alternately, a violation of the high from December 21 around 161.00 would take the asset toward the low from December 26 at 160.19, then the low from December 21 at 159.50.
