IPC Index — Mexico MarketJapan’s 10-year government bond yield slipped to around 2.77% on Thursday, retreating from 30-year highs as falling oil prices eased pressure on Japan’s import-dependent economy amid growing optimism over a potential peace agreement between the US and Iran. President Donald Trump said the US was in the final stages of negotiations with Iran, fueling expectations that the strategically important Strait of Hormuz could soon reopen. On the domestic front, data showed Japanese exports rose 14.8% in April, surpassing forecasts on the back of strong demand from China, the US, ASEAN nations and the European Union. Earlier data this week also indicated that Japan’s economy expanded more than expected in the first quarter, reinforcing expectations of a near-term interest rate hike from the Bank of Japan. Meanwhile, Japanese government bonds remained under pressure after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi urged the finance ministry to prepare a supplementary budget to address rising commodity prices.
