US EditionGlobal Bond Selloff Spreads to Japan, Gold Hits Record High
Japan's 30-year government bond yield hit a record 3.29%, driven by Bank of Japan policy changes, inflation above 2%, and political instability amid global bond market selloffs.
- Selling pressure persisted in the international bond market on Wednesday, driving Japan's 30-year government bond yields to a historic peak of 3.29 percent.
- This selloff stemmed from investor concerns over mounting government debt, inflation, and political uncertainty affecting fiscal policies worldwide.
- Earlier in the week, yields rose similarly on long-term government bonds in the UK, the US, and Canada, while gold prices climbed to an all-time high of $3,546.99 per ounce as investors sought refuge.
- Richard Carter noted yields jumped sharply due to borrowing demands, and Ipek Ozkardeskaya pointed to sovereign debt and inflation as key drivers of the long-duration bond selloff.
- These developments raise borrowing costs, threaten economic growth especially in Japan, and suggest ongoing global market instability amid fiscal and monetary tensions.
