Japan Hit by Long Bonds Selloff as Yields Hit Multi-Decade Highs

Japan’s longer-maturity debt slumped, sending yields to multi-decade highs, following a global selloff in bonds and political uncertainty in the nation. Yields on 20-year government bonds rose to levels last seen in 1999 while those on the 30-year maturity jumped to the highest since debut. The moves in Japan come after European and US bonds dropped, with the 30-year Treasury yield climbing back toward 5%. Bloomberg’s Paul Dobson reports.

  1. Hmm but the Nikkei 225 isn’t dropping by much I guess this means people are rotating to equities despite bond selloffs usually meaning loss of confidence in the currency and government

  2. England,France,Japan and USA are in deep shit with bonds rate reaching new high.Higher interest payment, higher deficit ,higher unemployment numbers.

  3. I really wuld like good news coming out of japan but the last 30 years have been brutal for japan.and is getting worse their adult population is out of the chart, also retirement payments is out of volume. The austrian school of economics have said japan will end up dollarizin their economy they have no choice.

  4. Governments keep overspending!!! Why buy bonds when politicians are recklessly irresponsible? Let the banks fund the government. Better investing into high performing stocks in the private sector.

  5. Maybe people are beginning to suspect all that money Japan is borrowing will simply end up in the bottomless Ukraine dump, via the US of A?

  6. Remember the BOJ is ending yield curve control and normalizing the bond market. Western analysts are too lazy to study the technical aspects of the JP market. If the current government is such a concern, why is the yield premium concentrating in the 40 year bond market?
