The 40-year Japanese government bonds have reached a new high in yield since the first issuance in 2007.

On January 14, Jin10 News reported that the yield of Japan's 40-year government bonds reached a record high amid global bond sell-off and market speculation of a future interest rate hike by the Japanese Central Bank. The yield of the 40-year government bonds briefly pumped 3 basis points to 2.755%, the highest level since the first issuance in 2007. After the reopening of the Japanese stock market on Monday following a public holiday, the yield of the 20-year government bonds also rose to the highest level since May 2011 this morning.
