Why This Is Bigger Than Japan
The late-January 2026 sell-off in Japanese Government Bonds isn’t a regional anomaly. It’s a structural break in the global financial system.
When 40-year JGB yields surged past 4.2% for the first time since their inception, the message was unmistakable: Japan is no longer anchoring global interest rates. That single shift carries consequences far beyond Tokyo.
