#JapanBondMarketSellOff | Global Markets at a Crossroads
Japan’s bond market is facing one of its biggest sell-offs in decades, shaking global financial markets. Long seen as ultra-stable with near-zero yields, Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) are now under pressure as inflation rises and the Bank of Japan hints at policy shifts.
