Japan's 10-year bond yield reaches highest point in 29 years as rising oil prices stoke concerns about inflation
Japanese Government Bonds Face New Challenges
Japan's government bond market experienced heightened strain as the benchmark 10-year yield surged to levels not seen in almost thirty years. This escalation was driven by mounting geopolitical unrest in the Middle East, particularly after US–Iran talks broke down and the United States announced a naval blockade aimed at Iranian-affiliated vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz. These events led to a significant jump in oil prices, fueling renewed global worries about inflation.
The yield on Japan's 10-year government bond increased by 5.5 basis points, reaching 2.49%—the highest since 1995. This uptick signals a shift in how investors are evaluating inflation risks and expectations.

Behind this "sharp drop followed by a rebound" in the market is a rational correction after the rapid repricing of the political landscape.

However, the duration of election-driven market volatility has historically been limited; the future of the AI theme and geopolitical developments are the core variables driving the market towards the end of the year.
