"Bank of Japan's Impact on Global Investments and Interest Rates"

The Bank of Japan's potential shift in monetary policy is unlikely to significantly impact the trillions of yen Japanese investors have invested in global bond markets and yen trades, as these investments offer higher returns than those available domestically. Analysts believe that even a modest increase in BOJ rates would have minimal impact on these investment flows, with pension funds and insurance firms only considering repatriation when Japanese government bond yields reach certain levels. The implications of the BOJ's exit from negative rates on FX carry trades depend on the signals sent regarding rate trajectory, with potential for significant impact on these trades.

BOJ's Market Games and Yield Curve Control Tweaks Impact U.S. Bond Rout

The Bank of Japan's decision to allow its government bonds to float above the cap could potentially fuel a U.S. bond rout, as it may encourage Japanese investors, who are the largest foreign creditors of the U.S. government, to invest domestically. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 3.968% following strong U.S. growth data, while Japan's stash of Treasurys has already decreased to its lowest level since early 2019.

"Japan's Financial Markets Face $3 Trillion Threat with New BOJ Governor Ueda"

The Bank of Japan's decade-long policy of ultra-low interest rates and bond-buying has led to Japanese investors owning over two-thirds of the country's economy in offshore investments, including US government bonds and European power stations. However, with a new governor, Kazuo Ueda, set to take over, the policy is likely to be dismantled, leading to a flow reversal that could send shockwaves through global financial markets. The shift is already underway, with Japanese investors selling a record amount of overseas debt last year as local yields rose on speculation that the BOJ would normalize policy.
