The yield on Japan’s 30-year government bond recently surged to a record high of 3.45%, marking a major shift in long-term rate expectations. This spike follows the Bank of Japan’s decision to raise its key policy rate to 0.75%, the highest level seen in three decades. Investors are now reassessing the country’s ultra-loose monetary stance as inflation risks persist and fiscal spending increases under the new administration. This volatility is ripple through global markets, affecting equities and currency values. Analysts warn that rising yields could tighten financial conditions significantly, as Japan remains a critical player in international capital flows.
