Japanese government bond yields soar. I really can't understand this move—cutting taxes to save the economy? That's hilarious. When the deficit skyrockets, who will clean up the mess?

Japan is about to stir things up again, with a food tax reduction? With such a large fiscal gap, they still dare to cut recklessly, no wonder JGB yields are soaring straight up...

You're causing trouble again. How come the Japanese government bonds are still relying on tax cut expectations to boost the recent plunge? Now any policy can be speculated on, and this set of vote-based economics is truly unbeatable.

honestly the JGB volatility here is just a textbook case of rational expectations failure. if you actually run the numbers on fiscal multipliers in a low-rate environment, this "surge" is statistically insignificant noise masking deeper structural issues nobody wants to discuss

The Japanese bond market is stirring again, and as soon as the tax cut proposal was announced, it caused a stir.
No, Japan's fiscal sustainability is really concerning... election interference.
Tax cuts sound great, but who will foot the bill? JGBs have surged quite sharply this time.
