Japan’s bond yields are rising as investors closely watch for the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) next policy decision. The shift reflects growing expectations of tighter monetary policy amidst global inflation pressures, signaling potential changes in Japan’s economic landscape.

Japan’s 10-year government bond yield has reached its highest level since 2008, driven by investor speculation regarding potential interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan. This shift marks a significant change in the country’s longstanding monetary policy stance.

Former Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda urged the government to address global perceptions that Japan is manipulating the yen. He emphasized that enhancing communication about monetary policy is crucial to dispel misunderstandings and maintain credibility.
