Japan’s 10-year government bond yield increased to approximately 2.1% after reports of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's concerns regarding further rate hikes. Takaichi nominated two reflationist academics to the Bank of Japan's policy board, suggesting a cautious approach to rate increases. Her pro-stimulus stance supports expansionary fiscal policies, creating uncertainty about the pace of BOJ rate hikes, despite speculation of potential policy normalization later this year.
