What happened
Japan's 10-year bond yield has risen above 3%, making domestic bonds more competitive with hedged overseas debt. But major long-term investors are still waiting for evidence that yields have peaked.
Why it matters
Higher yields improve JGB relative value, but still-rising yields mean falling bond prices and can delay slow-money allocations until the peak looks clearer.
What to watch
Watch next: JGB yield stability, GPIF, life-insurer allocations, whether the U.S.-Japan rate gap narrows. Sustained yen strength needs long-term flows, and not positioning alone.
