šØ JAPAN BOND MARKET ALERT šÆšµš
Something BIG is breaking under the surfaceā¦
š» Japanese insurers just sold $5.2 BILLION worth of long-term government bonds in December alone ā the largest sell-off since 2004.
š» This is now the 5th straight month of selling, the longest streak ever recorded.
š» Total long-term bond sales over this period? $8.7 BILLION š„
š And it gets worseā¦
Japanās 20-year government bond auction just showed weak demand: ā ļø Bid-to-cover ratio fell to 3.19
ā ļø Down from 4.1 in the last auction
ā ļø Below the 12-month average of 3.34
š Translation: Investors are losing appetite for Japanese debt.
If insurers ā traditionally the safest, longest-term buyers ā are backing away, what does that say about confidence in Japanās bond market?
š£ The Japanese bond market crisis is DEEPENING.
š Rising yields, shrinking demand, and global ripple effects could be next.
Are we witnessing the beginning of a major shift in global capital flows?
