Japanese markets showed steadier momentum today as the yen strengthened to 156 against the US dollar—a notable recovery. Meanwhile, bond yields eased off from yesterday's spike, with the 10-year government bond yield sliding back to 2.03% from the previous 2.07%. The pullback in yields suggests some reprieve in rate pressure, even as currency movements reflect shifting dynamics in the broader macro landscape. These swings matter for global asset flows and risk appetite across markets.
