Japan’s 10-year government bond yield fell to around 0.83%, hitting a one-month low and tracking a decline in US bond yields amid growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates more aggressively this week. Markets are currently pricing in a 67% chance that the Fed will lower rates by an outsized 50 basis points, up from just 25% a month ago, according to CME’s FedWatch Tool. On the other hand, the Bank of Japan is widely expected to hold policy steady this week but will likely signal further rate hikes. Markets are betting that the BOJ will raise interest rates again in December, while a move in October remains a close call. Fitch recently revised its forecasts for Japan’s policy rate, now seeing it at 0.5% by the end of 2024, 0.75% in 2025 and 1% by end-2026.
