The USD/JPY outlook is pressured by rising US yields and escalating energy prices due to the Iran conflict. The yen is vulnerable as Japan relies heavily on energy imports, leading to a currency slide. The correlation between USD/JPY and US Treasury yields has strengthened, indicating interest rate differentials are driving the currency's movement. The Bank of Japan's upcoming meeting may reveal shifts in policy sentiment, with a potential tightening expected in April. However, intervention risks are rising as authorities monitor excessive currency fluctuations.

U.S. Investment-Grade Bond Sales Near Record Levels Amid Global Tensions

The surge in oil prices has ignited global inflation alarms, with the "panic index" MOVE for U.S. Treasuries soaring to a nine-month high, and the yield on 30-year U.S. Treasuries reaching a one-month high. Market bets on the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in 2026 have nearly vanished. Under the shadow of stagflation, government bond prices worldwide, from the United States to Japan and Australia, are under pressure, and volatility may remain high for an extended period

- The ongoing conflict in Iran is driving up oil prices and inflation expectations, leading to a surge in volatility in U.S. Treasury bonds, with bets on interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2026 nearly disappearing.  
- The ICE Bank of America MOVE Index, a gauge of bond market volatility, has reached its highest level since June 2022, influenced by rising U.S. Treasury yields as investors anticipate central banks may raise rates to combat inflation.  
- Concerns over stagflation are mounting as the conflict escalates, prompting major financial firms to reassess the risk landscape, which is intensifying market uncertainty and reducing expectations for interest rate cuts.

The deterioration of fiscal conditions and inflationary pressures are simultaneously squeezing the global bond market. The yield on 30-year U.S. Treasuries has surged to nearly 4.90%, erasing all gains made this year; long-term interest rates are under pressure across countries from Europe to the Asia-Pacific. The U.S. $50 billion war funding, trillion-dollar deficit, and sudden loss of tariff revenue—multiple negative factors are compounding, and the market has begun to price in long-term fiscal sustainability, with "5% being attractive" likely becoming the new normal

- Concerns over financial expenditures from the U.S.-Iran war are causing a global sell-off in long-term bonds, with 30-year U.S. Treasury yields rising nearly to 4.90%. 
- This yield increase reflects fears that governments will heavily borrow to fund defense and subsidize households affected by rising energy prices, contributing to dual pressures of inflation and fiscal deterioration. 
- Global borrowing pressures are not isolated to the U.S.; countries worldwide face similar challenges, with expectations of higher long-term rates as a new market norm due to ongoing conflicts and increased government spending.

U.S. Treasury bonds are likened to a bad boyfriend by finance expert Martha Gimbel, who notes that investors are hesitant to leave due to limited options. Despite a declining allure, the U.S. Treasury market remains attractive due to its liquidity. Concerns about the U.S. fiscal outlook persist, with a projected budget deficit averaging over 6% of GDP through 2036. Experts urge Congress to address the deficit sustainably, while the ongoing conflict with Iran may further widen the deficit. The situation reflects a K-shaped economy, where wealth disparities continue to grow.

Treasuries experienced a significant decline, with the yield on the benchmark ten-year note rising to 4.273 percent, marking its highest level in over a month. This slump coincided with a sharp increase in crude oil prices, which rose nearly 11 percent to $96.70 a barrel. Concerns over transit through the Strait of Hormuz were heightened following attacks on foreign ships. Additionally, U.S. unemployment claims slightly decreased to 213,000, contrary to expectations of an increase. Upcoming economic reports may be overshadowed by Middle East developments.

The USDJPY is extending upward, driven by rising oil prices and U.S. Treasury yields. Crude oil increased by 9.72%, while the 10-year yield rose to 4.257%. The pair is approaching the January high of 159.447, with key support levels at 158.875-158.90. If momentum continues, targets include 160.00 and 161.92. Short-term support is provided by the 100-bar and 200-bar moving averages at 159.05 and 158.99, respectively. A drop below these levels could shift the bias to bearish.
