Japan sees heavier foreign inflows into long-dated bonds, yield curve steepens
Foreign inflows into long-dated Japanese bonds intensify, steepening yield curve amid political uncertainty.
Foreign investors have poured capital into Japan’s long-tenor government bonds, causing sharper twists in the otherwise stable yield curve. Political uncertainty and speculation over future policy have amplified yield moves. The increased demand for long duration instruments suggests expectations for BoJ policy shifts or risk hedging. Analysts say such flow dynamics could push yields higher and complicate central bank signalling at a time of regional monetary divergence.
