Japanese government bond yields rose as elevated energy prices and expectations of further Bank of Japan tightening outweighed haven demand from a selloff in artificial-intelligence-related stocks. The 10-year JGB yield climbed half a basis point to 2.775%. The BOJ kept its policy rate unchanged at 1.25% Friday while declaring victory in its decades-long battle against deflation, reinforcing expectations of a December increase to 1.5%. Policymakers remain divided over the pace of subsequent hikes as they assess Japan’s neutral rate, inflation risks and the ability of households and businesses to absorb higher borrowing costs.
