Japan's Nikkei Index Fluctuates Amid Bond Yields, Oil Prices, and Inflation Concerns
Japan's stock market showed mixed movements recently, with the Nikkei 225 rebounding 1.36% on Thursday following easing bond yields after US Treasury debt purchases increased. However, on Friday, the Nikkei fell 0.3%, pressured by rising global bond yields, higher oil prices, and inflation concerns linked to accelerating domestic inflation and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Japan's 10-year government bond yields fluctuated near multi-decade highs, while trade deficits widened due to increased crude oil imports. Technology stocks experienced notable declines amid cautious investor sentiment.
