Japan’s 10-year government bond yield rose about 6 basis points to 2.24% on Monday, reaching its highest level since 1999, driven by bets on Bank of Japan interest rate hikes and expectations of increased fiscal spending under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The BOJ is widely expected to keep its policy rate steady at 0.75% this week, though markets are watching for a potential move in June. Last week, BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda reiterated that the central bank stands ready to raise rates if economic and price trends align with projections. Markets also considered the possibility of a snap election next month, which Takaichi may call to consolidate power and push expansionary fiscal policies, raising concerns about debt-funded spending. She is reportedly contemplating pledging to suspend the 8% sales tax on food as part of her campaign, a measure aimed at easing Japan’s rising food costs.
