Japan's 10-year bond yield rises ahead of BOJ decision

Japan's 10-year government bond yield rose in early trading on Friday, as investors awaited signals from the Bank of Japan about the timing of the next interest rate hike.

The 10-year JGB yield rose 1 basis point to 1.605%.

The BOJ, which is expected to conclude its two-day policy meeting later in the day, is widely anticipated to maintain its current interest rates. Policymakers are seeking more clarity on whether the economy can withstand President Donald Trump's tariffs and growing signs of weakness in the U.S. economy.


Ten-year JGB futures fell 0.13 yen to 136.43.

Bonds with other tenors have not been traded as of 0005 GMT.
