Bonds Drop in Japan, Weaker Position of Yen Comes to Aid of Exporters

There has been a reported drop in the Government bonds of Japan. The Japanese currency has also gone slightly weak against the US dollar. This had led to a drop in the flow of investors as well.

The Prime Minister of the country, Naoto Kan, was of the view that the next course of action by the government for the rebuilding of tsunami-hit Japan shall need them to sell off some bonds. There shall be a debt of 2.6 trillion yen for a period of two years.

“Ten-year yields won’t likely dip below 1.2 percent unless we see new factors”, said Katsutoshi Inadome, a strategist in Tokyo at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., a unit of Japan’s largest bank.

He further added, “The market is thin before several events toward the weekend”. There shall be a robust plan of action followed for the rebuilding of the lost economical poise of the nation.

There is a need to take effective measures so that the process can speed up and result in a stable position of the economy.
