JGB yields rise as markets weigh impact of US tariffs
Feb 2, 2025 5:19 PM

TOKYO, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Medium- and long-term Japanese

government bond (JGB) yields climbed to their highest in over a

decade on Monday as market players weighed U.S. tariffs on

Mexico, Canada and China, and their potential impact on the

global economy.

The 10-year JGB yield rose to its highest

since April 2011 at 1.26% in early trade before sliding to

1.235% by 0034 GMT, while 10-year JGB futures were up

0.19 points at 140.86 yen.

The two-year JGB yield ticked up to 0.735%, a

level last seen in October 2008, and was last down 0.5 basis

point (bp) at 0.725%.

The five-year yield rose 1 bp to 0.915%, its

highest since November 2008.

Elsewhere, U.S. Treasury futures slipped and traders lowered

expectations for U.S. interest rate cuts, figuring tariffs on

the country's top trading partners risked stoking inflation.
