[Japanese 2-Year Government Bond Yield Approaching 2% Threshold] The yield on Japan's 2-year government bonds is approaching the 2% threshold, having doubled over the past 12 months and exceeding the same period in 2024 by more than sixfold. The timing of the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike depends on the Tankan survey to be released this Thursday. Mizuho Financial believes that if the Tankan survey shows strong corporate capital investment, the case for a rate hike by the Bank of Japan in October will be strengthened. (Source: Jinshi)
