The yield on 30-year Japanese government bonds has soared to 2.88%, marking the highest level since 2004. This significant increase of nearly 60 basis points occurred within just one week. The yield differential between 30-year and five-year bonds has also widened to a nearly two-decade high. Meanwhile, the 10-year yield has risen by about 30 basis points to 1.37% over the same period, though it remains below its recent peak of 1.59%. Japan, holding $1.079 trillion in U.S. Treasuries as of January, has traditionally been a stabilizing force for low bond yields globally. The rising yields on ultra-long Japanese government bonds could prompt Japanese funds to repatriate their international investments, potentially causing increased volatility in the U.S. Treasury market and strengthening the yen.

22h The 30-year Japanese Government Bond yield is blasting past levels not seen since before 2008.
This has been fueled by the BOJ’s rate hikes from -0.1% to 0.5% between February 2024 and today.
With yields spiraling higher, the BOJ might be forced to halt further tightening soon.
