Another ordinary day. The yen continues to weaken, while the 10-year yield is climbing. This combination has persisted for some time and is indeed concerning. In the context of a G7 economy's historical background, this situation appears somewhat abnormal.

This morning, the yen depreciated again, approaching the level of 160 yen per dollar. Simultaneously, the 10-year yield rose by 6 basis points. The dual impact of this exchange rate pressure and rising yields reflects deep-seated stress in the Japanese economy. For global market participants, this change warrants close attention, as it could reshape the flow of international capital.

Japan is really lagging behind now; if this pace continues, a major event is likely. --- Still dancing around 160, and the yield is rising again. Arbitrage players might go crazy. --- Japan is the only one pulling ahead in the G7; it's quite rare globally, isn't it? --- A double blow. The Bank of Japan should wake up, probably. --- It's the same routine every day. When will it end? --- Capital flows are about to change; stay alert.

This move in Japan is truly a textbook-level operation that's hard to handle.

Is Japan trying to destroy itself? The yen is depreciating like this, yet they are still stubbornly resisting, and yields are still rising... I just can't understand this logic.

Japan's recent moves are truly incredible. The yen is depreciating while yields are soaring—having it both ways? The 160 level has been broken, and the nightmare of carry trade is coming. Japan is engaging in a suicidal rescue of the market; next year will definitely be interesting. This is really the eve of stagflation, the most outrageous scenario among the G7. Both the exchange rate and yields are soaring, indicating that the Bank of Japan has already lost control.

Is Japan about to go bankrupt? The 160 level really can't hold up anymore.
