BlueBay Chief Investment Officer Mark Dowding pointed out that Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's focus on economic growth may delay the normalization of central bank interest rates. However, dovish policies could lead to inflation overshoot, putting pressure on the government bond yield curve. He is optimistic about the medium-term flattening of the 10 to 30-year government bond yield curve.

BlockBeats message, April 7. In a report, BlueBay’s Chief Investment Officer Mark Doting said Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is very focused on achieving economic growth. From this perspective, some believe she would want to delay the Bank of Japan’s move toward normalizing interest rates.

However, he said that a more dovish Bank of Japan could raise concerns about inflation overshooting for a longer period of time, which would put pressure on Japan’s government bond yield curve.

Mark Doting said: “We still expect the 10- to 30-year Japan government bond yield curve to further flatten in the medium term.” (Jin Shi)
