**Japan's Bond Yields Inch Up Amidst Geopolitical Uncertainty and Inflation Concerns**
Japan's 10-year government bond yield rose marginally, rising 1 base point to 2.480%, reflecting minor adjustments to the Japanese bond market amid heightened tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, ongoing inflation worries, and geopolitical instability reported online. Concurrently, the Bank of Japan’s expected interest rate cut after April 2026 remains stubbornly 0.1%, showing no recent change. Escalating instability in the Strait of Hormuz, exacerbated by the U.S. naval blockade, has intensified inflation fears, casting doubt about BoJ’s rate cut prospects. The market’s resilience to potential cuts remains evident, as the contract projecting such a move has held steady at 0.1%, indicating persistent skepticism based on geopolitical and monetary context. Volatility persists due to oil supply disruptions pushing crude prices toward $100/bbar by June, while Hormuz-related risks maintain liquidity gaps. Geopolitical events and inflation dynamics continue to drive uncertainty, with investors closely monitoring U.S./UN Middle East developments.
