Story summary

On Monday, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi addressed investors' concerns over her government's stimulus plans by assuring them that everything was under control, after the country’s 30-year bond yields reached an all-time high. Despite her assurances, analysts noted that rhetoric might not translate into policy changes. A Nomura economist stated that remarks aimed at maintaining market confidence do not guarantee shifts in actual fiscal policies. This comes as Washington has pressed Tokyo to curb its fiscal spending amid a global sell-off of bonds and the weakening of the yen; the US 10-year Treasury yield recently hit a two-decade high.
