JGB

On December 3, 2025, Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) are under significant selling pressure, driving yields to multi-year or record highs amid heightened expectations for a Bank of Japan (BOJ) rate hike at its December 18-19 meeting. This follows hawkish comments from BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda on December 1, signaling the central bank will weigh "pros and cons" of raising the policy rate from 0.5% to 0.75%. The move is exacerbating concerns over Japan's massive public debt (over 250% of GDP) and aggressive fiscal stimulus under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's administration, which could fuel inflation and force further tightening. Despite BOJ interventions (including ¥1.1 trillion in purchases today), banks are offloading holdings, adding to supply and pushing yields higher. This has strengthened the yen, pressured equities (Nikkei down 3.2% in recent sessions), and raised global ripple risks, as Japan's low-yield bonds have long been a source of cheap capital for overseas investments like U.S. Treasuries.

Key Yield Movements TodayYields rose across the curve, with longer-dated bonds hit hardest due to auction caution and stimulus fears. Here's a snapshot of major JGB yields as of midday Tokyo trading:

Maturity	Yield (%)	Change (bps)	Notes
2-Year	1.015	+1	Near 17-year high; most sensitive to policy rate.
5-Year	1.385	+2	Highest since June 2008.
10-Year	1.89–1.90	+3–3.5	Highest since June 2008; benchmark borrowing cost.
20-Year	2.910	+3.5	Multi-year peak.
30-Year	3.43	+5	Record high (intraday hit 3.41% earlier).
40-Year	3.740	+5.5	Surged on long-end sell-off.

Data compiled from real-time quotes; the 10-year is ~0.84% higher year-over-year, reflecting the end of Japan's ultra-low rate era. Futures for December 2025 JGBs traded slightly lower at 134.51 (down 0.06%).Driving Factors

• BOJ Hawkishness and Rate Path Uncertainty: Markets now price an ~80% chance of a December hike, with January odds at 90%. Ueda's remarks triggered the heaviest JGB sell-off since July, as investors fret over hikes beyond December amid sticky inflation (core CPI at 2.8% in October).
• Fiscal Stimulus Concerns: Takaichi's plans for ¥20+ trillion in spending (via bonds) are seen as inflationary, clashing with debt sustainability. This has soured sentiment ahead of tomorrow's 30-year auction.
• Institutional Selling: Banks, insurers, and the BOJ itself dumped a record ¥10.7 trillion in JGBs in September; today, banks sought to offload ~¥2 trillion, but BOJ bought only ¥1.1 trillion—leaving excess supply for open-market sales. Major holders (BOJ ~50%, banks/insurers ~40%) prioritize liquidity over yield-chasing.
• Global Spillover: The yen carry trade unwind (borrowing cheap yen to fund higher-yield assets abroad) is accelerating, with USD/JPY nearing 150. Falling U.S.-Japan yield spreads (e.g., 30-year at March 2022 lows) could repatriate Japanese capital, pressuring U.S./global assets.

Market Sentiment and Outlook

• Positive Note: A recent 10-year auction saw strong demand (bid-to-cover ratio 3.59, above average), steadying the yen and Nikkei somewhat today.
• Bearish Vibes on X: Traders warn of "bond market rout" and "global liquidity crunch," with calls for 10-year yields >2% by Christmas. Some speculate Saudi or foreign bailouts, but focus remains on BOJ's balancing act between yen stability and growth.
• Forecast: Trading Economics sees 10-year at 1.79% by Q4 end, but upside risks loom if household spending data (due Friday) supports hikes. Watch for BOJ tapering yield curve control further—yields could test 2008 peaks if unchecked.

This volatility marks a pivotal shift: Japan's "zero-rate forever" playbook is obsolete, potentially reshaping global flows. For real-time updates, monitor BOJ announcements.

MCP Servers

 

Server Name	Description	Category
Airweave	A fully open-source context retrieval layer for AI agents. It connects to various apps, databases, and document stores, transforming their contents into a searchable knowledge base for AI consumption via a semantic search interface.	AI/Data Context
Atlassian	A secure bridge (like the Rovo MCP Server) that allows AI agents to read and interact with Jira, Confluence, and Compass data in real-time. It enables summarization, search, and ticket/page creation using natural language.	Project Management/DevOps
CodeMind	Not a specific tool, but often referenced in discussions about using Code Execution with MCP to make agents more efficient. The concept leverages the agent's ability to write code to interact with tools as APIs, filtering data and executing complex logic.	AI Framework/Execution
Dart	A server that exposes the Dart SDK commands to AI coding assistants. This allows the agent to perform code analysis, fix lints, format code, run tests, and manage packages for Dart and Flutter projects.	Programming Language/CLI
Figma Dev Mode MCP	A beta feature that surfaces rich design context from Figma (components, styles, variables, screenshots) into AI coding tools. This helps the AI generate code that is more consistent with the established design system.	Design-to-Code
