Japanese bond prices run risk of fall on fundamentals
Article Abstract:
Analysts predict the vulnerability of Japanese bond prices even as the Bank of Japan and the Ministry of Finance continue to win in their battle against rising interest rates. The strategy involves keeping bond prices buoyant since a decline in bond prices is tantamount to an interest rate increase. As a result, the bond market has registered one of its strongest rallies with the yield falling to 1.805% from 1.880%.
