Japan 10-Year Yield Stays Near 30-Year High

2026-07-06 02:51 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

Japan's 10-year government bond yield hovered around 2.79% on Monday, remaining close to its highest level since October 1996 amid growing concerns over increased fiscal spending and heavier government borrowing.

The bond market has been under persistent selling pressure since the government unveiled a broad long-term economic strategy featuring sizable spending commitments that could require additional debt issuance, while also urging the Bank of Japan to keep monetary policy supportive of its growth agenda.

Under the plan, Japan aims to mobilize more than ¥370 trillion ($2.29 trillion) in combined public and private investment through fiscal 2040 to strengthen key strategic industries.

Meanwhile, the yen’s weakness near 40-year lows has added pressure on the BOJ to raise interest rates further, contributing to upward pressure on Japanese government bond yields.
