Japan's Bond Yields Surge, Banks Poised for Profit

Japanese bond yields surge, reaching levels unseen in nearly three decades, with the ten-year government bond topping at 2.44%. This increase, coupled with global challenges like the Iran-Iraq war and energy supply disruptions, is causing inflation to rise, with core inflation reaching 1.8% in March.
