Weekly Market Directions: Week of 1–5 December 2025

Japan bond yields on the rise

Key takeaways:
 
  • 2Y bond yields rose to their highest level since 2008 on hopes of a rate hike by the BOJ.
  • We maintain our projection of a BOJ rate hike of 25 bps later this month and another similar move next year.
  • Rising yields in the long term might increase the appeal of local bonds for Japanese investors, who currently find foreign bonds more attractive.
