Japan’s 10-year government bond yield climbed toward 2.8% on Friday, approaching its highest level since October 1996 after a weak 10-year JGB auction this week reinforced concerns over rising fiscal spending and increased government borrowing. The bond market has faced sustained selling pressure since the government unveiled a sweeping long-term economic strategy that features significant spending commitments while urging the Bank of Japan to ensure monetary policy supports its growth objectives. Under the plan, Japan aims to mobilize more than ¥370 trillion ($2.29 trillion) in combined public and private investment through fiscal 2040 to bolster key strategic industries. Investors fear the plan could require greater debt issuance, while the Bank of Japan may remain cautious about raising interest rates despite mounting inflationary pressures.
