What affects JPY/GBP exchange rates?

Exchange rates are influenced by interest rates, inflation differentials, economic growth, political stability, and market sentiment. Central bank policy decisions and major economic releases can cause significant daily movements in the JPY/GBP rate.

How often do these rates update?
