Japan 40-Year Bond Yield Hits Record 4.39% as Extra Budget Stokes Bond Supply Fears
Japan's super-long government bond selloff deepened on May 19, with the 40-year yield rising to a record 4.39%, the highest since that maturity was introduced in 2007, and the 30-year climbing to 4.15%, the highest since its 1999 debut. The move followed Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's call for a supplementary budget to fund energy subsidies, fueling expectations of fresh debt issuance on top of the current fiscal year's 5122 trillion budget.
Pressure spread across the curve, with the 10-year yield at 2.79%, its highest since the 1990s, while the 20-year reached its highest since 1996 after the 30-year had earlier breached 4% for the first time. Investors were also weighing April wholesale inflation of 4.9%, a three-year high that strengthened the case for another Bank of Japan rate increase at its June meeting.
