Nothing better than a day of hard work.
Here's the rub for those not in the loop:
Japan's 40-year bond yield hitting 4.215% is a record high since 2007. It means investors demand higher returns to buy Japanese government bonds, driven by fiscal concerns like PM Takaichi's tax cuts without clear funding, weak auctions, and global factors like Trump tariffs.Implications: Higher borrowing costs for Japan's massive debt, yen weakening (to ~158/USD), stock drops, and possible BOJ intervention. Forecasts suggest yields may fall to ~3.4% by quarter-end.

With their projected population decline and economic uncertainty i to would demand a higher premium to buy debt that has a 40 year maturity date.

Strange how every time a genuine populist ends up in charge of a country, the financial markets always seem to go out of their way to destabilize the economy.

It's monopoly money
It's almost like the economies of each country are completely controlled by some sort of global power...
