# Japan 10Y Yield Edges Up on Takaichi Report

Japan’s 10-year government bond yield rose to around 2.1% on Wednesday, rebounding from a six-week low following reports that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi expressed concern over additional rate hikes in a meeting with Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda last week.

Takaichi also nominated two reflationist academics to the central bank’s policy board, reinforcing expectations that the BOJ will take a cautious approach to further rate increases.

Known for her pro-stimulus stance, Takaichi supports both expansionary fiscal policies and looser monetary settings, creating uncertainty around the pace of BOJ rate hikes even as speculation mounts that the central bank could resume policy normalization later this year.

Japanese yields had been pressured recently amid hopes that Takaichi’s expansionary policies would stimulate growth without putting undue strain on public finances.
