#ProfitFromPessimism #DavidSkarica #PfP Reports and analyses suggest the Japanese bond market is experiencing significant volatility and potential instability, raising concerns about potential trouble ahead. Several factors contribute to this unease:  Rising yields: Japanese government bond yields, particularly for longer maturities, have been rising sharply and reaching multi-decade highs, according to NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth and Reuters. The 10-year JGB yield, for example, climbed to its highest level since 2008 in July 2025, according to LSEG data. The 30-year JGB yield hit 3.2% in July 2025, a level not seen since the 1990s. Weakening demand for longer-dated bonds: Recent auctions for 20-year and 30-year JGBs have shown weaker demand compared to historical averages, indicating investor caution about longer-dated debt in the face of fiscal risks. Bank of Japan's changing stance: The Bank of Japan (BOJ), after years of aggressive monetary easing and yield curve control, is now attempting to gradually reduce its bond holdings. While this process, known as quantitative tightening (QT), aims for normalization, it also removes a key source of demand and support for the bond market, according to Reuters and Bloomberg. Potential for fiscal expansion: Political discussions about potential tax cuts and increased government spending, particularly in the wake of the recent upper house election, are fueling concerns about Japan's already substantial debt burden and the potential for further yield increases. Global spillover effects: Japan is the largest foreign holder of US Treasuries, and a reversal of capital flows as Japanese investors repatriate funds amidst rising domestic yields could push US Treasury yields higher and increase global market volatility.  Potential consequences: Increased borrowing costs: Rising yields would increase borrowing costs for the Japanese government, potentially exacerbating its already large debt burden, according to Bloomberg. Higher costs for companies and consumers: Higher government borrowing costs could translate into higher interest rates for businesses and consumers, potentially hindering economic growth. Impact on Japanese financial institutions: Higher bond yields can lead to significant paper losses for Japanese life insurers and pension funds, who are major holders of long-term JGBs. Global market volatility: The interconnectedness of global financial markets means that turmoil in the Japanese bond market could trigger broader instability and volatility across global fixed-income and equity markets. While there are some arguments suggesting the situation might not be as dire as some reports indicate – for example, some analysts point to Japan's strong domestic ownership of JGBs as a buffer – the recent volatility and confluence of factors suggest that the Japanese bond market warrants close attention. Its trajectory will likely have significant implications for both the Japanese and global economies in the coming months.  — Official site: https://www.profitfrompessimism.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/profitpess/ Social Links: https://beacons.ai/profitfrompessimism/ Books & Publications: https://www.profitfrompessimism.com/books --- FAIR USE Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright At 1976, allowance is made for ‘fair use’ for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
