Japan to Issue Fresh Debt for Extra Budget

The Japanese government plans to issue fresh debt to fund an extra budget aimed at cushioning economic fallout from the Middle East conflict. This has pushed 10-year bond yields to 2.80% and 30-year yields to 4.20%, exacerbating the yen’s decline. The extra budget will reportedly include subsidies for gasoline and utilities due to high oil import costs. The move complicates the BOJ’s policy choices and fiscal constraints. Markets may see 10-year yields reach 3%, further weakening the yen.
