海外利率周报20251221：日本加息有什么影响？-20251221

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - This week, the entire curve of US Treasury yields declined slightly by 3 - 5bp. Although inflation and employment data are favorable for the bond market, the decline in interest rates is not significant. This is because the market doubts the validity of the data from October and November, and the expected change in the interest - rate cut path is small [2][11]. - The Bank of Japan raised the policy rate to 0.75%, but the yen continued to weaken. The "limited hawkish" stance of the Bank of Japan is due to the need to balance multiple pressures. As the yen approaches the "intervention level", the actions of the Japanese Ministry of Finance may affect the pricing of US Treasuries and the stock market [3][12]. - The US employment situation shows that the labor market has not changed significantly, with employers reluctant to increase recruitment significantly but not initiating large - scale layoffs. The economic growth momentum is weakening, and inflation is showing a downward trend [21][22][24]. - In the asset market, German medium - and long - term bonds and Japanese bonds rose; the global equity market was highly differentiated; black - series and chemical commodities strengthened, while grains and digital assets were under pressure; most global foreign exchange markets declined, with only the Russian ruble supported [26][27][28][29]. 3.
