what happened
Yields on Japanese government bonds moved higher, according to Market Talk. Pressure came from elevated energy prices and the expectation that the Bank of Japan will keep lifting rates. Those factors outweighed demand for bonds as a haven after a slump in artificial intelligence stocks.
The central bank left its policy rate unchanged on Friday but declared that it had won its long fight against deflation, which opens the way to further hikes. Traders are watching Middle East developments and the oil market. The 10-year yield was up half a basis point at 2.775%.
why it matters
Rising yields mean falling bond prices. If the Bank of Japan keeps tightening, expectations for higher rates in the country will stay in focus, and oil remains a key driver of inflation expectations.
