Japan’s 30-Year Bond Yields Reach Record High Amid Fiscal Concerns

Japan’s 30-year government bond yield reached a new peak of 3.445% on December 4, 2025, coinciding with a 700 billion yen bond auction by the Ministry of Finance.

This record yield suggests anticipation of a Bank of Japan rate hike and fiscal expansion, influencing investor behavior and government borrowing costs.

Record Bond Yields Trigger Market Dynamics

Japan’s Ministry of Finance planned to auction 700 billion yen of 30-year bonds as yields rose to 3.445%. Economist Takayuki Miyajima indicated speculation on a potential Bank of Japan rate hike and fiscal expansion contributed to the shift. The yield hike is set amid announced auctions, with high yields expected to support demand despite market pressures.

Potential for Bank of Japan rate hikes has driven yields at multi-year highs, indicating shifting borrowing costs and fiscal decision impacts. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s fiscal stimulus plan also pressures yields upwards, contributing to fiscal outlook shifts.

“While speculation about a Bank of Japan rate hike and concerns about fiscal expansion are driving selling pressure, the upcoming 30-year bond auction is expected to see a smooth result due to high yields supporting demand,” noted Takayuki Miyajima, Economist at Sony Financial Group.

Market analysts like Shoki Omori from Mizuho Securities suggest “weak demand” for the 30-year auction, despite high yields. Meanwhile, Sony Financial’s Miyajima forecasts smooth auction outcomes due to current return rates.
