  • Japan's 40-Year Bond Yield Hits Record 4% on Fiscal Concerns After Snap Election Call
    January 20, 2026, 12:55 AM EST. Japan's 40-year government bond yield surged to a record 4% on Tuesday amid broad selling in government bonds.

Shorter maturities also saw notable gains, with the 10-year bond yield hitting levels unseen since 1999. Analysts attribute the rise to a familiar 'Takaichi trade,' involving expectations of expansionary fiscal policy rather than structural financial distress. State Street and Crédit Agricole experts highlighted that markets are repricing risk and term premiums as investors anticipate larger fiscal deficits, signaling a shift away from prior austerity measures.
