It is not always possible to provide a logical explanation for things you see in FastQC since the results are a summary plot of millions of reads. FastQC is a QC tool and nothing prevents you from moving on with your analysis. If you notice specific problems downstream then you can backtrack and try to find a cause.

This is particularly true for RNA-seq data. Some very highly expressed genes have more/less GC than your average gene, which contributes to these sorts of peaks and valleys. As GenoMax stated, nothing to worry about unless things downstream look very wrong.
