周一,日本10年期政府债券收益率下跌约2个基点,至1.32%左右,因为投资者在本周日本央行货币政策会议之前采取了谨慎的立场。人们普遍预计,央行将把政策利率稳定在0.5%,同时评估美国关税对日本出口依赖型经济的潜在影响。上周,日本财务大臣加藤胜信和美国财政部长斯科特·贝塞特在华盛顿举行的国际货币基金组织和世界银行春季会议期间举行了闭门会议。尽管加藤没有透露细节,但他强调,日本和美国将就汇率问题保持密切和建设性的对话,这表明货币问题可能会成为更广泛贸易谈判的因素。与此同时,日本首席贸易谈判代表赤泽良将于本周访问华盛顿,进行第二轮双边贸易讨论。
Japan’s 10-year government bond yield fell about 2 basis points to around 1.32% on Monday, as investors adopted a cautious stance ahead of the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy meeting this week. The central bank is widely expected to hold its policy rate steady at 0.5% while assessing the potential impact of US tariffs on Japan’s export-reliant economy. Last week, Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato and US Treasury Secretary Scott Besset held a closed-door meeting during the IMF and World Bank spring meetings in Washington. Although Kato did not disclose details, he emphasized that Japan and the US would maintain close and constructive dialogue on exchange rates, suggesting that currency issues could factor into broader trade talks. Meanwhile, Japan’s top trade negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, is set to visit Washington this week for a second round of bilateral trade discussions.
