Aerial shots of cityscape, traffic Storyline Japan's benchmark 10-year government bond yield surged to its highest level in over 26 years on Monday, reflecting growing market expectations of continued interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) and concerns over the country's deteriorating fiscal outlook. The yield on the newly issued 10-year Japanese government bond briefly climbed to nearly 2.1 percent during trading, its highest point since February 1999. Analysts attribute the surge to two key factors: mounting speculation that the BOJ will maintain its tightening trajectory in response to persistent inflationary pressures, and growing unease over Japan's deteriorating fiscal outlook. The bond market volatility spilled over into foreign exchange markets, where the yen weakened sharply. The Japanese currency fell to as low as 157.5 yen per U.S. dollar on Monday.
