Japan bond yields rise on 2024 restart in catch-up with US peers



Japanese government bond (JGB) yields ticked higher on Thursday, catching up with a rise in U.S. Treasury yields as markets in the Asian nation reopened from an extended New Year holiday.

At the same time, expectations that a devastating earthquake on Japan's west coast would prevent an early end to the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) stimulus prevented JGB yields from rising too much.
