Ryohei Muramatsu Yields Quotations

Recent rises in yields of Japanese government bonds, combined with this emerging uncertainty over prospects for US interest rates, are expected to weigh on the US currency against the yen in the near term.

We are seeing dark clouds on the horizon because of slowing housing markets. The inverted yield curve could be a sign of a slowdown in the economy. Treasuries yields are unlikely to rise.

Yields will have a bias to rise as concern about an inflation bulge is reignited. A rate increase in March is almost a done deal and there's a chance for another move in May.

I didn't expect 5 percent yields at all, it's a little bit overdone. In the short-term we're likely to see a rebound.
