IPC Index — Mexico MarketJapan’s 10-year government bond yield climbed above 1.77% on Wednesday, marking a fresh 17-year high ahead of a crucial debt auction that could indicate investor demand amid rising fiscal concerns. The Ministry of Finance plans to auction around 800 billion yen in 20-year JGBs. On Tuesday, the government proposed a supplementary budget exceeding 25 trillion yen to fund Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s stimulus plan, far above last year’s 13.9 trillion yen extra budget, stoking debt worries. Meanwhile, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda told the prime minister that the central bank is gradually raising rates to steer inflation toward its 2% target while supporting sustainable growth. Afterward, Ueda told reporters the prime minister made no specific request on monetary policy. On the data front, machinery orders in Japan rose more than expected in September, signaling robust capital spending.
