what happened
Japanese government bond yields rose on Monday, partly reversing last week's drop as a sharp selloff in AI-related shares drove investors into haven assets, Reuters reported.
The benchmark 10-year JGB yield climbed 6.5 basis points to 2.7%. The 5-year yield gained 5.5 bps to 2.1%, while the 2-year yield, the most sensitive to BOJ policy rates, held steady at 1.725%. Japan's Nikkei gauge rallied on Monday after a 6% plunge on Friday. US Treasuries also fell, as a payrolls report lifted expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike at its December meeting.
why it matters
The Bank of Japan has kept its policy rate at 1.25% since a September hike and has taken a more hawkish tone, with expectations firming toward a December increase to 1.5%. Governor Kazuo Ueda said inflation should stay around the 2% target but acknowledged some upside risks. Uncertainty over AI-related investment remains high, so yields stay sensitive to equity market moves and rate expectations.
