Japan’s 10-year government bond yield fell to approximately 2.1%, reaching a six-week low due to increased demand for safe-haven assets amid uncertainties surrounding US trade policies. President Trump’s threats to raise global tariffs have heightened concerns, prompting Tokyo to urge the US to protect Japanese firms. Additionally, optimism from Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s recent election victory is contributing to the pressure on yields, as her fiscal policies are expected to stimulate growth without overburdening public finances.
