Japanese Funds Execute Largest US Treasury Sale Since 2022

Japanese investors sold US government bonds at near four-year highs, marking the largest sell-off since 2022, as a sudden surge in oil prices triggered a sharp shift in expectations for Federal Reserve policy. The spike in oil prices reignited inflation concerns, reversing market expectations for Fed rate cuts and prompting Japanese funds to reduce their US Treasury holdings. Japan is known as one of the largest foreign buyers of US Treasuries, and this wave of selling could lead to volatility in global bond markets and exert upward pressure on US interest rates. Investors continue to closely monitor the Fed's next moves and the trajectory of oil prices, which will continue to influence Japanese funds' bond trading strategies. This is not investment advice.

Large-scale selling of US Treasuries by Japanese funds may exert downward pressure on USD/JPY. This could lead Japanese investors to buy yen to reduce currency risk. Technically, while the RSI at 57 is in neutral territory, the MACD remains below the signal line, indicating weakness. Although the price is above the 20- and 50-day moving averages, the news flow could increase selling pressure in the short term. Therefore, a bearish move can be expected.
