Odaily Planet Daily News: Japan's Treasury bond selling spree continues, with the 10-year Treasury yield reaching its highest level since February 1999. The 20-year Treasury yield rose about 10 basis points to 3.08%, the 30-year yield increased 3 basis points to 3.485%, and the 40-year yield climbed 8 basis points to 3.69%. According to the financial website InvestingLive, although the yen is under spillover pressure, some may argue that the direction of the bond market could be the biggest risk facing Japan's economy this year. The government and the Bank of Japan must closely monitor the situation, as it has clearly deteriorated rapidly over the past three months. Considering the bond sell-off (sharp rise in yields), the yen is also facing a severe test and pressure, indicating that traders and investors are paying more attention to fiscal and economic issues than to the Bank of Japan's policies and the narrowing interest rate differential.

Summary
Japan's bond market continued to experience selling pressure in early 2024, with the 10-year Japanese Government Bond (JGB) yield reaching its highest level since February 1999. The 20-year yield increased by 10 basis points to 3.08%, the 30-year yield rose by 3 basis points to 3.485%, and the 40-year yield climbed by 8 basis points to 3.69%. The yen is under pressure, and the shift in the bond market poses a significant risk to Japan's economy. As yields rise, long-term investment strategies are now under close scrutiny. The Bank of Japan and the government must address the deteriorating situation. Market attention has shifted toward fiscal issues rather than monetary policy or interest rate differentials. Amid the volatility in traditional assets, a long-term strategy involving cryptocurrencies may be gaining more attention.
