Headline: Japan’s 27-Year Bond Milestone: The End of the Easy-Money Era?
Japan’s 10-Year Government Bond (JGB) yield has officially surged to 2.1%—its highest level since 1999. Following the Bank of Japan’s decision to hike interest rates to 0.75% (a 30-year peak), the global financial landscape just shifted.
Why this is a historic turning point:
🏦 Farewell to Ultra-Loose Policy: After decades of fighting deflation with "free money," the BOJ is finally normalizing. Governor Ueda has signaled that if inflation remains stable, more hikes are coming.
💴 The Yen Paradox: Despite higher rates, the Yen remains under pressure near 157 per Dollar. This divergence is creating a "buy the rumor, sell the news" effect that is keeping global FX traders on edge.
🌍 Global Liquidity Squeeze: Japan is the world’s largest creditor. As domestic yields rise, Japanese investors may pull trillions out of US Treasuries and European bonds to bring "home" to higher-yielding JGBs.
📈 Fiscal Strain: With a record ¥120 trillion budget looming under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, rising yields are putting Japan’s massive debt-to-GDP ratio under the microscope.
The "Bond Vigilantes" are no longer just a myth in Tokyo. We are entering a new regime of global rate volatility.$FOLKS $LUMIA #CPIWatch #WriteToEarnUpgrade #BinanceBlockchainWeek #USNonFarmPayrollReport #USBitcoinReserveDiscussion
