Japan’s 10-year government bond yield fell to around 2.75% on Tuesday, extending Friday’s decline after Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said the country’s massive pension fund would adjust its holdings if necessary, while proposing the inclusion of government bonds in a tax-free investment program for individual investors. Her remarks followed media reports that Tokyo had no immediate plans to alter the asset allocation of its state pension funds, easing expectations of near-term support for domestic assets. Japanese government bonds have faced sustained selling pressure this year amid growing concerns over the country’s fiscal expansion plans and persistent inflationary pressures. The government recently unveiled a draft roadmap outlining more than ¥370 trillion in public and private investment by fiscal 2040 across 17 strategic sectors identified as priorities by the Takaichi administration.
