flag Japanese 30-year bond yields hit a record 3.445% amid stimulus concerns, yet auctions saw strong demand.

flag Japanese 30-year government bond yields hit a record 3.445%, rising for four straight sessions amid concerns over fiscal sustainability from Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s expanded stimulus plan. flag Despite the surge, a government auction drew strong demand, with a bid-to-cover ratio of 4.04—the highest since 2019—and a record accepted yield of 3.434%. flag The 10-year yield reached 1.935%, its highest since 2007, while officials monitor rising yields’ impact on borrowing costs. flag Analysts attribute demand to high yields and expectations of reduced long-term bond issuance, even as the Bank of Japan’s policy path remains uncertain.
