flag Japanese bond yields hit multi-year highs as markets expect a Bank of Japan rate hike.

flag Japanese government bond yields surged to multi-year highs, with the 10-year yield hitting 1.955%—its highest since 2007—amid strong market expectations for a Bank of Japan rate hike in December. flag Traders assign an 80% chance to a 25-basis-point increase, driven by rising wage growth and BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda’s signals of potential tightening. flag Yields on two-year, five-year, 20-year, and 30-year bonds also reached multi-year highs, though analysts caution that recent moves may reflect short-term flows rather than sustained trends.
