Speaking at a news briefing on Tuesday, Japan’s Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato said that "we will respond appropriately bearing in mind that the market should be allowed to decide market moves.”
He further noted that “bond markets should decide on rate moves” after the 40-year government debt yield briefly jumped to a record high.
Kato declined to comment on factors behind the rising yields, saying “doing so would impact the market.”
