Costurile de împrumut ale Japoniei ating maximul ultimilor 30 de ani. Bessent sugerează că Tokyo ar putea interveni pentru susţinerea yenului

Japan's borrowing costs have reached a three-decade high, with the yen surpassing 160 per dollar, raising expectations for currency intervention and interest rate hikes. The yield on 10-year Japanese government bonds has exceeded 3% for the first time since 1996, driven by fiscal pressures and global bond yield increases. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hinted at potential measures from Japan to strengthen the yen, emphasizing the need for clear communication on fiscal sustainability and interest rate hikes. The weakening yen is increasing import costs and consumer price pressures, while expectations for a Bank of Japan rate hike in September are growing, with a potential terminal rate of 1.75% or higher being speculated.
