周五,随着美中贸易紧张局势的缓解,对避险资产的需求减少,日本10年期政府债券收益率升至1.27%以上。中国证实,在美国多次尝试外联后,正在评估参与贸易谈判的可能性,这提振了全球风险情绪。与此同时,日本和美国本周结束了第二轮双边贸易讨论,东京的目标是在6月前达成协议。在国内,日本3月份的失业率微升至2.5%,尽管劳动力市场状况仍然相对紧张。在货币方面,日本央行周四将政策利率稳定在0.5%,并下调了增长和通胀预测,强化了短期内不太可能再次加息的预期。
Japan’s 10-year government bond yield rose above 1.27% on Friday, as easing U.S.-China trade tensions reduced demand for safe-haven assets. China confirmed it is evaluating the possibility of engaging in trade talks after multiple outreach attempts from the U.S., boosting global risk sentiment. In parallel, Japan and the U.S. concluded a second round of bilateral trade discussions this week, with Tokyo aiming to finalize a deal by June. Domestically, Japan’s unemployment rate edged up to 2.5% in March, though labor market conditions remained relatively tight. On the monetary front, the Bank of Japan held its policy rate steady at 0.5% on Thursday and downgraded its growth and inflation forecasts, reinforcing expectations that additional rate hikes are unlikely in the near term.
