Ryan Littlestone, Director and Trading analyst for ForexLive.com, joined Zak Mir and James Hughes on the Tip TV Finance Show to discuss trading strategy, focusing on the USD/JPY and EUR/GBP.

Key Points:

BoJ have nothing left to use, corporate tax cuts now

EURGBP a strong mess, further upside ahead with confirmation of the breakout

BoE meeting on Thursday, won’t see any action, but stronger wage numbers show good UK domestic performance, despite weak service PMI

UK housing facing stamp duty, can’t raise rates if house prices stay so low.
