The recent relief rally in Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) is expected to be short-lived as underlying pressures on the Bank of Japan (BOJ) persist. While bond yields have temporarily stabilized, market indicators suggest that expectations of further monetary policy normalization—including potential interest rate hikes and reduced asset purchases—will continue to push yields upward. Consequently, analysts warn that investors should prepare for renewed volatility and rising yields in the Japanese sovereign debt market in the near term.
