Japan’s Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato spoke at his regular press conference on Tuesday.
Said that bond markets should dictate yield movements, following a brief spike in the 40-year government bond yield to a record high.
Kato emphasized that the government would respond appropriately while allowing market forces to drive bond price fluctuations.
He declined to comment on the reasons behind the rising yields, citing concerns that such remarks could influence market behaviour. Kato also refrained from detailing potential government actions, suggesting that authorities are monitoring the situation without immediate intervention.
The 40-year bond yield touched 3% on Monday, partly due to concerns that Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s weakening leadership could undermine fiscal discipline.
Kato spoke an hour ago or so, but got swamped by Middle East developments:
