Japanese government bonds decline, following the downward trend of US Treasuries

Golden Ten Data reported on April 30 that Japanese government bonds fell in early Tokyo trading, following the overnight decline in U.S. Treasury prices. The price trends of Japanese government bonds and U.S. Treasuries are often synchronized. Amid ongoing Middle East conflicts, rising oil prices have triggered concerns about increasing domestic inflation in Japan, which could also put pressure on Japanese government bond prices. In a commentary, analysts at InTouch Capital Markets stated: "The Middle East situation has intensified a high degree of uncertainty. Inflation remains elevated, reflecting to some extent the increase in energy prices."
