[Japanese 10-year government bond yield rises to near 30-year high, influenced by Middle East situation and strong US employment data] (1) Japanese benchmark government bond yields rose to a near 30-year high on Monday, influenced by inflationary pressures from the Middle East war and strong US employment data that weakened expectations of an earlier rate cut by the Federal Reserve. (2) The benchmark 10-year Japanese government bond yield rose 2 basis points to 2.400%, the highest level since February 1999. The 5-year Japanese government bond yield also rose 2 basis points to 1.815%. (3) US President Trump threatened on Sunday that if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by Tuesday, the US military would strike Iranian power plants and bridges, which pushed up oil prices. In addition, the US non-farm payrolls increased more than expected last month, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.3%, strengthening market expectations that the Federal Reserve would keep interest rates unchanged.
