Japan's bond stress is becoming a global liquidity test, and for crypto too This week's macro narrative has been shaped by Japan. Volatility at the long end of the government bond curve intensified after a weak 20-year JGB auction, marked by soft demand and a wider price tail. While this does not yet imply a disorderly unwind of the yen-funded carry trade, it is a clear sign of mounting stress in a market that has long acted as a global anchor for low yields. For years, Japanese institutions have recycled d ...

Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The focus is on the bond market, particularly the dynamics of long-term and short-term interest rates, as well as investment strategies for December 2025 [1][2][3]. Core Insights and Arguments - **Cautious Investment Stance**: The bond market is under pressure, and a cautious approach is recommended. There is no strong bearish sentiment, but optimism is also not warranted due to the lack of new variables to drive rates down [2][3]. - **Long-term Interest Rates**: The 30-year government bond has seen significant declines due to poor market sentiment, expectations of increased special government bonds, and rising inflation expectations. The spread between 30-year and 10-year bonds remains high [3][4]. - **Short-term Interest Rates**: The one-year deposit rate has limited downward potential, and the current environment suggests that short-term bonds should be treated with a focus on coupon income, especially when there is room for arbitrage [4][7]. - **Investment Strategies**: Three recommended strategies include: 1. High-leverage short-duration credit strategy for cautious investors [5]. 2. Selection of well-performing bonds within the same duration, such as 5-year and 10-year government bonds [5]. 3. Focus on more flexible instruments like 30-year government bonds [5]. - **Credit and Local Government Bonds**: Preference for liquid 3-5 year bonds, with a focus on new and old bonds over three years for better value [6]. Additional Important Insights - **Central Bank Buying Scale**: The current central bank buying scale is 50 billion, which is below market expectations. If short-term rates rise, the central bank may increase its buying scale [7]. - **Bond Spread Dynamics**: The reasonable spread between specific bonds (e.g., 特二 and 特六) is estimated to be around 3 basis points, with recent fluctuations noted [8]. - **Investment Value of 2,502 Bonds**: The investment logic for 2,502 bonds hinges on whether they will be renewed in Q1 2026, with potential for significant activity if renewed [9]. - **Short-term Bonds and Floating Rate Bonds**: Recommendations include 5-year government bonds and specific floating rate bonds for investors looking for good holding value [10]. - **Trends in Convertible Bonds**: The convertible bond market is expected to be volatile in December, with a focus on low-valuation stocks and those with less crowding [12][13]. - **Market Relationships**: The relationship between the convertible bond market and the stock market is crucial, with potential valuation fluctuations expected due to market conditions [14]. - **New vs. Old Bonds**: New bonds are favored due to lower risk of forced redemption, while old bonds face higher risks [15]. - **Balanced Convertible Bonds**: These bonds are recommended for defensive strategies due to their stable price performance [16]. - **Sector Focus**: Attention is drawn to sectors like AI, nuclear fusion, and quantum computing, with specific companies highlighted for their potential [17].
