The 10-year Japanese government bond yield fell 16 basis points to 2.71 percent on Friday, the largest daily decline since April 2025, @KobeissiLetter reported. The drop followed a rise to 2.90 percent on Thursday, the first time the yield reached that level in 30 years.87 percent on the same day, marking its largest one-day drop since January 21.
Japan's finance minister stated that the government wants to encourage pension funds, including the $1.8 trillion Government Pension Investment Fund, to increase investment in domestic assets. @KobeissiLetter reported that if the shift occurs, the fund could move allocations away from overseas securities and toward Japanese government bonds.
Japan's bond and currency markets are set to remain highly volatile, according to the report.
