Japanese Rate Hike Fears Send Shockwaves Through Global Markets
The prospect of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan has rattled global financial markets, sending yields on Japanese government bonds to multi-decade highs and sparking a sell-off in global bonds. The Wall Street Journal reports the 10-year JGB closed at its highest yield since 2008, with the 30-year yield hitting a record, driven by persistent inflation and mounting expectations of monetary tightening. The Financial Times adds that the bond market slide is broad-based, with U.S. stocks also feeling the pressure as investors brace for policy normalization in Japan for the first time in decades.
